The main attraction for Coco island is its unbelievable scuba-diving with its schooling hammerhead sharks. On the island hiking and biking to the top of the island for the spectacular view is an almost must. Other main activities include snorkeling, island hopping, and fishing the waters surrounding the island. Many people go to Cocos just to relax on the beach and enjor the scenery.

Since this is an island you will see a lot of ocean, but if you ever get the chance to step foot on the island and are somewhat physically fit, hike to the top of the island with a guide. It a magnificent view. Also catching a rare view of one of Guam's last birds, which unfortunetly have become rare due to the accidental importation of brown tree snakes.

As tourists are allowed ashore only with permission of island rangers, there are very limited ways to be able to step foot on the island but one of the best ways to experience this natural beauty is through a dive trip. There are two fully equipped dive boats that do week and a half trips out to the Island and back, they are the Okeanos Aggressor and Undersea Hunter.

Getting around the island is a little tricky. The main types of transportation are by foot or bike usually used for hikes and sight-seeing tours. The few locals who live here mainly use foot, or bike, or small motor bikes and dirt bikes.

The main island only has a few shops, all of which open and close as they please. Most can only accept cash and possibly checks but not credit cards except for the west island. The few shops that are present on the island are souvenir shops, tackle and bait shops, and the diving equipment and rental shops. Cocos island is also an extremely popular but extremely hard to book wedding destination.

Cocos only has two restaurants on the island The Tropika on the west island and Bunga Molati on Home island. The "treasure island" has no restaurants on it. Dory's of Cocos is the only constant coffee-shop but they also offer home-made milkshakes, muffins, cakes, sausage rolls, and sandwiches. The Tropika which is located in the beach motel complex on the west island serves three meals a day. There is even a chalkboard on the front door for those wishing for a catered evening meal to write their name and the number of their party. Bunga Molati is an authentic Malay cuisine restaurant which offers noodles, beef lamb and seafood dishes, rice, curry and chili, and chicken.

There are no bars on the island so once again all drinking will be done on the west island at the resort for tourists or a local bar if familar with the area.
