Tour Spotlight | Christmas Island Lodge | Saltwater Fly Fishing | Kiribati

At Sportquest Holidays, we pride ourselves on bringing you the best destinations, accommodations, and fishing experiences from around the globe, and it gives us great pleasure to announce we've just formed a new partnership with Christmas Island Lodge.

Widely considered Kiribati's finest fly fishing lodge, the newly remodelled and renovated lodge is now amongst the finest accommodations on the island. On top of this, its prime location sets it apart, offering immediate access to the inner lagoon, nearby flats, and offshore fisheries, where endless opportunities for a myriad of species, such as Bonefish, Giant Trevally, Triggerfish, and Milkfish, await.

Hosting a maximum of 12 anglers per week, it provides a relaxed and intimate atmosphere renowned for its hospitality and welcoming smiles, ensuring all guests feel at home amidst the Pacific Ocean.

Fishing -
Without a doubt, the main attractions on the flats of Christmas Island are the Bonefish. These sleek, metallic warriors glide the flats in all directions scouring the coral and hard sand bottoms for shrimps, crabs and worms. For saltwater anglers targeting these fish, it’s always a thrill presenting a fly to a hungry Bone, watching them speed over to investigate before engulfing it and shooting off 100 yards of backing in a flash. The unique part about fishing these flats is that all the fishing gets accomplished on foot, and the majority of the time at close quarters, with anglers stalking the flats in full predator mode, hunting the fish down with rods at the ready. The Bonefish average around 2lb to 4lb, but much bigger specimens to nearly 10lb get landed every season.

Along with the Bonefish, the island is equally famous for its Giant Trevally fishing. There are few sights in fly fishing as spectacular as watching a colossal GT smashing mullet in shallow water. To catch one while stalking the flats requires a mix of skill, perseverance, good luck and also discipline, as often when fishing for them, you’ll be letting hundreds of Bonefish opportunities pass you by. The GT’s are large, powerful, can turn on a dime and possess speeds of over sixty kilometres per hour. Committing to fish for these stunning fish for a whole week can be a tough call, but for the few who commit, the rewards can be amazing, and the accomplishment is well worth it. The GT’s average around 40lb but can grow to well over 100lb.

Accommodation -
Christmas Island Lodge hosts a maximum of 12 anglers per week in private accommodation, providing a relaxed, intimate atmosphere – it’s known for its hospitality and welcoming smiles, ensuring all guests feel at home in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

It offers six traditional bungalows constructed of coral stone and thatch roofs, each with two private suites with a fully stocked fridge, air conditioning, an en-suite bathroom with shower, and excellent Starlink wifi, among many other amenities. They are widely considered the most comfortable accommodations on the island after being recently renovated and remodelled.

Outside the bungalows is an expansive open-air lounge where you can enjoy your evening meal, cocktails and appetisers while recounting stories from your fishing day.

One of the most popular things about Christmas Island Lodge is its prime location. Strategically situated on a 20-acre beachside site, it offers immediate access to the surf and is just a short drive away from the private ‘back-of-the-lagoon’, which only lodge guests can enjoy.

These things ensure that you will arrive first at the most remote corners of the inner lagoon and be the last anglers on the water at the end of each fishing day. The extra distance from the hubbub of London or Paris on the island’s western end also means you will spend less time travelling to the most desirable fishing locations, including the famed Korean Wreck and the Huff Dam.

Whats Included?
- All international flights
- Internal flight Hawaii to Christmas Island
- Transfers to and from Lodge
- All accommodation in Hawaii
- All accommodation Christmas Island
- All meals at Lodge
- 6 days fishing

Welcome to this week’s newsletter…

Monday (June 16th) signalled the start of the river fishing season here in the UK, a date that, ever since I was a young lad, I have always looked forward to; it always holds some fantastic memories. Those early days of stick float fishing on a small stream, catching Gudgeon and Minnows, is undoubtedly what set me on my fishing journey and played a massive part in what I'm doing now with the creation of Sportquest Holidays over 22 years ago. If you'd like to learn more about the story of Sportquest, I filmed a piece with our media team. You can watch it here: Sportquest Holidays - The Story So Far.

If you, like me, spent your early years spending endless hours fishing the banks in the same way but are now looking to unlock your sense of adventure and travel to fish for something special, we're here for you. We offer over 150 tours in more than 50 countries worldwide, catering to the needs of every angler. If there's a destination you've always dreamed of or a particular species on your bucket list, contact us today; we're only a phone call or email away from making your fishing dreams a reality.

Regards, Peter.

New for 2025, we are delighted to share with you our brand-new Wilderness Heli Fishing tour above the Arctic Circle in northern Sweden...

As you cast your line into the rich depths, a sense of serenity envelops you, punctuated only by the gentle lapping of water against the shore. This isn't just fishing; it's an expedition unlike any other, a wilderness helicopter fishing adventure in northern Sweden, above the Arctic Circle.

Feel the rush of excitement as you board the helicopter, the roar of the blades igniting your sense of adventure.

The scent of fresh pine fills the air as you make your way to the water's edge, armed with your gear and the hope of reeling in stunning Brown Trout, vibrant Arctic Char, sleek Grayling, or fierce Pike. Each cast feels like a promise of adventure.

This is more than just a fishing trip; it's an immersion into the raw beauty of the wilderness, an arena of untouched nature where time seems to stand still.
