Christmas Island is so close to the equator (200 miles) that the weather does not change much, and the fishing is excellent year-round. One guide per angler makes The Villages unique. One of the biggest advantages of The Villages is that it is very close to the fishing area. You walk down to your skiff and are typically fishing within minutes. The Villages guides and anglers are dropped off on flats. The boat captain anchors where he can watch everyone, and when anglers are ready to move on to a new location, he picks them up. There are radios with each guide and captain.

Great Variety of Species

triggerfishing is great here

Christmas Island is world-famous for its vast numbers of bonefish, giant trevally, and endless clear water. The sand and coral flats make spotting bonefish easier than other areas. During our 2019 hosted weeks, some of our clients landed over 30 bonefish a day. Outside the reef, tuna and wahoo fishing are spectacular. This is also the place where triggerfish are caught. (Chris Wharton with triggerfish pictured above.)
There is now a $1,000.00 fine if anyone kills and keeps a bonefish.

The Villages - Two anglers per bungalow

The village lodging

Experience true Polynesian hospitality at the Villages, a local-run establishment since 2006. The Lodge has overlooks an aqua-colored lagoon. There are ten air-conditioned bungalows. Each bungalow features a covered veranda, a private bathroom, and a shower. Stay connected with Starlink Wi-Fi, available for $20 a week. Enjoy cooked-to-order breakfasts and a variety of weekly dinner choices, including fish, chicken, beef, or pork. Fresh-caught fish is always on the menu.
Other Activities:  The Island has excellent birding opportunities; otherwise, this is not a great place to bring your significant other unless they like to fish.

Christmas Island is about 1,300 miles south of Honolulu, just north of the equator. A Fiji Airlines flight departs from Honolulu to Christmas Island each Tuesday at noon. The three-hour flight includes a meal.

Guided Fly Fishing

One guide per angler. An extra pair of eyes for spotting bonefish really helps. Some of the bonefish are in double-digit sizes.

Golden Trevally - Christmas Island

Trevally Fishing
