BUS & FERRY:
A local bus service from West Island Settlement to the jetty operates
approximately 20 minutes prior to the departure of the ferry to Home
Island. On Saturday the ferry diverts to Direction Island to allow
tourists and locals access to this remote paradise. The ferry returns
in the afternoon to return you to West Island.
BIKE HIRE: For clients staying at Cocos Castaway there is a fleet of complimentary shared push bikes. Push bike hire is available
on West Island from The Surf Shop. Home Island has a bike hire service that can be organised through the Cocos Islands Tourism Association. Wearing a bike helmet is mandatory.
VEHICLE: Cocos Castaway offers 2 modern, 4-door utilities for their clients that are able to seat up to 5 people. If you are staying at Cocos Castaway we suggest you pre-book your vehicle to avoid disappointment. Cocos Autos also have a selection of utes or twin cabs. Cocos Accommodation is able to pre-book these vehicles as well.
ROAD RULES & REGULATIONS: Most Western Australian road rules apply on Cocos, which include wearing
seat belts and not carrying any passengers in open utes. The AFP
is responsible for policing these rules and we ask that visitors
respect them. Please note that on the "highway" the maximum
