Red crab migration on Christmas Island
Tens of millions of red crabs march from the rainforest to the sea, closing roads and carpeting the island.

What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Christmas Island or Perth for October 15 to January 15, 2027, round trips of 5 to 10 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- The park publishes predicted spawning dates each season; build the trip around them.
- Hire a car, drive slowly, and expect to walk the last stretch on closed roads.
- Virgin Australia flies Perth to Christmas Island a few times a week; the island's settlement is ten minutes from the airstrip.
