Cocos Keeling Islands
Welcome to Paradise ......
Australia's last unspoilt paradise lies in the azure waters of the Indian Ocean offering spectacular snorkelling, world-class diving, excellent fishing and the adrenalin-rush of kitesurfing. Relax on empty beaches, visit uninhabited islands by canoe, watch spectacular birdlife or catch the ferry to Home Island to stay at the original Clunies-Ross residence and discover the culture and traditions of the Cocos Malay people.
Situated 2750 kms northwest of Perth, Western Australia, and 900km from Christmas Island, the Cocos Keeling Islands are a group of coral islands that form two atolls. Only two of the 27 islands are inhabited - the rest are waiting for you to explore them.
Cocos Keeling Islands declared a State of Emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Visitors from “very low risk states” of Australia (defined as those with no community cases in 28 days – currently WA, NT, ACT, TAS, QLD & VIC) can travel from these jurisdictions, via WA, to Cocos (Keeling) Islands without quarantine or isolation restrictions.
