ONGOING Cocos Island TRIP FAQ:

  • How to Book

Q. When can we book the extra night that is required before the trip?

A. SingleDivers.com is booking a block of rooms to help everyone be at the same hotel, get a double or single occupancy as desired and ensure the rooms do not sell out early. Stay tuned for more details. For planning purposes assume approx $75 per night for d/o per person.
