Brief
- Cocos (Keeling) Islands is remote, with limited accommodation, supplies and infrequent air connections. Book flights, lodging, vehicle hire and island tours well in advance.

- Travel between West Island, Home Island and the outer islands depends on local ferry and tour schedules, which can change with weather and demand. Allow a buffer before flights.
- Try local Malay-influenced dishes, including nasi goreng, curries, sambal and freshly caught seafood. Avoid taking marine life, shells or other protected natural items from the islands or marine park.
Safety and health
- Protect yourself from mosquito bites with repellent, covered clothing and screened accommodation. Dengue and Ross River virus are mosquito-borne risks listed for Australia, although the CDC notes dengue outbreaks mainly occur in northern and central Queensland. (

- Fresh water resources are limited. Follow local advice on drinking water and conserve supplies. (
- A yellow fever certificate is required for travellers aged 1 year or older arriving from a country with yellow fever transmission risk, including qualifying airport transits of more than 12 hours. It is not required for direct travel from the United States. (
