Taxis

A dedicated taxi service meets all scheduled flight arrivals and departures. It is highly recommended to pre-book your taxi, especially if traveling in a group, to guarantee availability.

Rental Cars

Several local car rental companies operate on the island and provide airport pick-up and drop-off services. The fleet is limited, so booking a vehicle well in advance of your trip is essential. A 4WD vehicle is strongly recommended for accessing many of the island's unsealed roads and natural attractions.

Public Transportation

There is no public bus system, train service, or ride-sharing platform (like Uber or Lyft) operating on Christmas Island. Therefore, there are no public transit connections from the airport.

Nearby Airports

No nearby airports found within reasonable distance.

I enjoyed my visit here, but it is a long way from everywhere.

Of particular interest are the huge crabs (Robber Crabs) that are everywhere, including on the runway. Check for availability of fuel.
