Agents from Western Australia and Victoria headed north to discover Cocos Keeling Islands on Broome, Kimberley & Beyond and Virgin Australia’s first combined famil to the islands.

The agents spent four days island hopping, snorkelling and diving to see tropical fish, coral, reef sharks, manta rays and green turtles. They also met with local operators with sunset drinks and a swim at popular spot, Trannies Beach.

Broome, Kimberley & Beyond led the famil and said, “The islands are just like you see on postcards – white beaches, plenty of palm trees and stunning clear water. It didn’t take long for us to fall into island life where everyone knows each other and will go out of their way to help you out, and where it’s easy to find a beach or even an entire island to yourself.”
