Christmas Island National Park offers visitors an unspoilt landscape with many natural and cultural features. There are a number of viewing platforms, boardwalks and walking tracks located throughout the park, allowing visitors to enjoy the park's scenic natural surroundings. Camping is allowed at Dolly Beach and at the Pink House Research Station, with a permit.
A network of roads and tracks provide access to most places around the island. Others are able to be reached on marked walking trails. Two wheel drive and four wheel drive vehicles are available for hire from a number of companies. Some roads and tracks are designated as being suitable for four wheel drive only. All roads and tracks are subject to blockage for short periods by fallen trees and all become slippery when wet weather prevails. Some sections of roads and tracks in the National Park are closed to vehicular traffic for periods during the Red Crab migration.
