Christmas Island (Kiritimati), Kiribati

Ikari House

SaltwaterLondon village, Kiritimati

Ikari House is in London village on Kiritimati, about 40 minutes from the airport, and is booked through an office in Australia. Each guide takes one or two anglers out by outrigger or centre-console boat to wade the lagoon's sand flats for bonefish and trevally, and at least one day is spent on the ocean side. There is no fishing shop on the island, so anglers bring all their own tackle.
