The Wonders of Christmas Island Photographic Tour

Christmas Island is a photographers dream!  It is a small Australian territory in the Indian Ocean around 350 km’s South of Java. It’s diverse landscape will offer us so many photographic opportunities that it is hard to know where to begin. From sandy beaches, steep cliffs, pristine rainforest and cascading water it is a jewel that will amaze and inspire you.

To quote Christmas Island tourism, “It’s hard to imagine a more visually tantalising place to photograph than Christmas Island. All around you are sights, colours, textures and landscapes you’ll want to capture, so bring nature to life through your lens. From soft, pastel sunrises to glorious sunsets, Christmas Island is bathed in ever-changing tropical light. Vivid colour is everywhere, from the crabs’ rich reds to the rainforest’s deep greens, to turquoise waters. Catch the robber crabs on film, zoom in on gentle orchids and twisting vines, and train your lens skywards to capture the elegance and freedom of rare birds in flight.”

Our small group tour (maximum of 10) will be packed with photographic opportunities and will take us to all corners of the Island.  For landscape photography there is a beautiful coast, rainforests, blowholes and waterfalls. It also offers plentiful opportunities for flora and fauna photography with some species being endemic to the island. Over two-thirds of the island is National Park with areas of wetland that are of world significance.

When we are not doing photography the island offers white sandy beaches that are perfect for relaxing, swimming and snorkelling. Our accommodation also has a pool to cool off in at the end of the day.
