Explore The Dales, a protected area that consists of a series of deep valleys and several freshwater springs. The main river, called Hughes Dale, runs through the area, providing water for lush vegetation and creating serene waterfalls, such as the beautiful waterfall at the end of the Dale. A walk through The Dales allows you to experience the diverse flora and fauna of Christmas Island, including the endemic Blue Crabs that can be found near the freshwater sources.
