SaltwaterLine Islands — Tabuaeran (Fanning Island) lagoon

Details from booking agents: this page is built from the agencies and other pages listed under Sources, not from the lodge's own website.

Tabuaeran, also called Fanning Island, is an atoll in Kiribati's Line Islands, and this simple camp is the base for fishing its 40-square-mile lagoon. Anglers move around by panga and mostly wade the flats for bonefish up to 10 lb, giant and bluefin trevally and bumphead parrotfish. Groups are kept to six anglers, with two sharing each guide and boat.
