Christmas (Kiritimati) Island has long been regarded as one of the premier bonefishing destinations in the world. Located 1340 miles south of Honolulu and 120 miles north of the equator, Christmas Island has an incredible year-round fishery unaffected by weather and seasons. The diversity of fish species you can target include giant trevally, bluefin trevally, golden trevally, triggerfish, milkfish and endless species of reef fish. Coupled with 150 square miles of easily wadable flats in the lagoon, endless ocean side coral reefs teaming with fish and incredible blue water opportunities, Christmas Island's diverse fishery ensures that each day will bring an exciting new angling opportunity.

All Year

Christmas Island Lodge offers 4 bungalows constructed of coral stone and traditional thatch roofs. Each bungalow provides two private suites with a refrigerator, air conditioning and an en suite bathroom with hot and cold water. Hosting a maximum of 8 anglers ensures private accommodations and a relaxed small group atmosphere. The expansive, well-maintained oceanside property provides the opportunity to indulge in evening cocktails and appetizers while recounting fishing stories under our traditional open air maneaba (local gathering place) while waves crash on the beach only steps away. The choice is yours but the solitude you will experience at Christmas Island Lodge is like none other found on the Island.

With much of the work already completed, Christmas Island Lodge is well on its way to becoming Kiritimati's top lodging and fishing option. The bungalows have received new roofs, new interior work including new tile and updated bathrooms, air conditioning units and paint jobs (think Bahamian-themed colors!). The grounds are being manicured to create a welcoming atmosphere, our connection to the new solar power grid is complete so we are fully dependent (happily so!) on green energy and our commercial kitchen is being renovated as well. We have added new motors for our fleet of boats and have refinished and repainted them as well. Very importantly, our private inner lagoon launch site has been completed, connecting it to the lagoon and the adjacent swimming lagoon is prepped and ready for guests.

Anglers heading to Christmas Island arrive in Honolulu on a Monday or before and overnight. The Fiji Airways departs Honolulu for Christmas Island at 12 PM Tuesday and arrives back from

Christmas Island at 11 AM the following Tuesday. Anglers can usually connect home to a flight home the same day.
