Indian Ocean Experiences

Based on Christmas Island, Indian Ocean Experiences is a locally owned and operated tour company offering immersive wildlife and cultural adventures across Australia’s Indian Ocean Territories – Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands.

Founded by Lisa Preston in 2011, this passionate team is deeply connected to the region’s unique biodiversity and community, inviting you on sustainable, conservation-focused journeys through one of the world’s most remote and extraordinary ecosystems.

From the legendary Red Crab migration and Jurassic-style rainforests on Christmas Island to the crystal-clear lagoons and vibrant marine life of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Indian Ocean Experiences crafts small-group and tailor-made tours that bring these extraordinary natural wonders to life. You’ll snorkel coral reefs, spot rare seabirds like Abbott’s Booby and the Golden Bosun, swim with turtles, and immerse yourself in some of Australia’s most pristine and remote environments. With a strong focus on birdwatching, diving, photography, and cultural storytelling, every experience is led by passionate local guides who share their deep love for the land and sea.

Indian Ocean Experiences takes you beyond a typical tour, into the heart of Australia’s most untouched island frontiers.
