Cocos Keeling Islands 2023

In February 2023 I spent ten very enjoyable days on the Cocos Keeling Islands, chasing bonefish. Met some awesome people, including a fellow fly fisherman, Greg, at the pub. We even got to share some of the fishing experience on his days off. Thanks mate!
The black tip reef sharks are a bit of a problem, but managed to keep all the fish away from them, bar one. It was a little unnerving, though, having them chasing your catch all around you and then bumping into your legs, but you get used to it...kind of.

What airlines fly there and from which cities? Cost of flights and duration.

Hi Ingrid, Virgin Airlines has two flights a week to Cocos Keeling. Tuesdays and Fridays via Christmas island. Flights run out of Perth Western Australia. As far as I know, it's the only airline that flies there. Cost is around A$1200 return, and takes around 4-5 hrs. Hope this helps

Your shark chased angling amused me ...I have spent 7 days in Coco's and Keeling in 2019.Those sharks had me walking on water when they appeared in the shallows en-masse around 4 pm.
