10–18 August 2027 or 22–30 August 2028

Contact us to register your interest and confirm availability. Each expedition is limited to six anglers, fishing two anglers per lead guide. A developing junior guide may also accompany each pair, supporting local guiding capacity.

Proposed 2027 program

• Wednesday 11 August: Air Tahiti flight to Anaa.
• 11–18 August: seven nights at the Anaa homestay.

For guests travelling via San Francisco, the proposed international routing departs SFO on 10 August and returns to SFO on 19 August. International flights are separate from the expedition fare.

Domestic flight days and times remain subject to Air Tahiti’s confirmed schedules. Please keep international arrangements flexible until we confirm the connections for your departure.

Ask us about extending your stay to explore Bora Bora, Rangiroa or Tikehau.

Day 1 · Arrive in Tahiti

Arrive at Faa’a International Airport in Papeete and settle into your hotel. There is time to rest, prepare equipment and meet the group for the expedition briefing.

Day 2 · Papeete to Anaa

Fly to Anaa, where our local team meets you and transfers you to the homestay in Tukuhora. Unpack, rig your rods and fish that afternoon when flight times and conditions permit.

Days 3–8 · Six full fishing days

After an early breakfast, guides collect anglers at approximately 7:30 a.m. Boats carry packed lunches, snacks and drinking water.

Fish in pairs across lagoon flats, reef habitat and other suitable areas. Your guides choose each day’s water around tides, light, wind and weather. Fishing generally finishes around 5:00 p.m., followed by dinner at approximately 7:00 p.m.

Day 9 · Return to Papeete

After breakfast, transfer to Anaa Airport for your return flight. Depending on the confirmed timetable, connect with an overnight international departure or arrange an additional night in Tahiti.

A Polynesian family homestay

Stay at the established, family-operated homestay in Tukuhora. Twin-share rooms, communal dining and social areas, and easy access to the lagoon make it a comfortable, informal base for the week.

This is an authentic island homestay rather than a conventional fishing lodge or luxury resort.

Food & hospitality

Our local family and hospitality team prepare the meals. Breakfast generally includes fresh fruit, coffee, bread, local honey and eggs. Packed lunches, snacks and drinking water travel with you each fishing day.

Evenings bring generous island cooking: fresh fish, chicken, rice, vegetables and local produce. We supplement island ingredients with supplies brought on our inbound flight. A lobster dinner or traditional pig roast may feature, depending on availability and community plans.

Life beyond the fishing

Eat with your hosts and enjoy opportunities to join island activities such as cycling, kayaking, football, spear throwing, dancing and community gatherings.

Wi-Fi is available at the homestay, but speed and reliability are limited. Plan for time offline. Power and other facilities are subject to the realities of a remote Tuamotu atoll.

Anaa lies in the Tuamotu Archipelago, approximately 350 km east of Tahiti.

Arrive in Tahiti the day before

International guests fly into Faa’a International Airport in Papeete. We require arrival at least one day before the domestic flight to Anaa, allowing time for delays, rest and equipment preparation.

We coordinate your island connection

Air Tahiti operates limited services to Anaa. Flight days and times change seasonally, and some services include an intermediate stop. We coordinate group domestic reservations once the relevant expedition timetable is released.

On Anaa, our local team meets you at the airport and transfers you to the homestay.

Prepare for a remote island

Weather, baggage capacity and domestic schedules can affect the itinerary. We coordinate domestic flights, transfers and fishing-equipment logistics in advance, and provide comprehensive packing and tackle lists before departure.
