Fanning Island – Hosted Pacific Atoll Expeditions
BESPOKE EXPEDITIONS
We meet at Cassidy International Airport (CXI) on a Wednesday where we spend one night.
On Thursday, we’re flown in a Twin Otter (17 seater) to a remote pacific atoll for (typically) 5-6 days of pioneering saltwater flats angling. Flights to/from this atoll are Thursday and Tuesday, so you are welcome to stay longer.
Although we are based at Fanning Island Lodge, there are options to spend a night camping onsite at a reef/channel edge to fish the change of light. We’ll work with you to plan your dates to coordinate with the best tides, moon phase and trip duration.
LOGISTICS
We arrange return commercial flights (included in our fare) from CXI to Fanning Island and liaise closely with the airline to ensure scheduled maintenance/training/engineering doesn’t disrupt our travel plans. That said, the island is remote and only serviced by one plane, so make sure to hold comprehensive travel insurance.
We work alongside the indigenous community who provide us with local guides, boats, accommodation, meals including fresh seafood, and even some non-angling cultural experiences to spice up your trip. Aside from Starlink, this atoll is as isolated as you can be on Planet Earth and still be smiling.
As part of our trips onto Fanning (and all our Pacific destinations) we pack gifts for the local people to help make their daily life easier. We encourage you to do the same.
Whilst there are some basic provision available to purchase on the island, it’s best to arrive with everything you need to get through your week in style. We will share a comprehensive packing list with all confirmed anglers.
INCLUSIONS
Minimum of two anglers per week, maximum of six. All food, provisions, gear and licenses are provided. All prices are in USD$. The price is indicative only and a full itinerary will be developed in conjunction with you.
Expect coconuts, papaya, local mantis shrimp and lobster, sustainably-caught bluewater fish such as yellowfin tuna, rainbow runner or wahoo.
