Christmas Island Lodge

SaltwaterKiritimati — near Cassidy International Airport

Ten minutes from the airport on Kiritimati, in Kiribati, this lodge of oceanside bungalows takes no more than ten anglers a week, who wade the hard sand flats of the inner lagoon for bonefish, trevally including giant trevally, and triggerfish. Beer, wine, Starlink internet and the fishing licence come with the package, but there is no tackle to rent.
