Doug Swift happy about (of course) about a large bonefish from The Villages in Christmas Island

Christmas Island is so close to the equator (200 miles) that the weather does not change much, and the fishing is excellent year-round. One guide per angler makes The Villages unique. One of the biggest advantages of The Villages is its proximity to the fishing area. You walk down to your skiff and are typically fishing within minutes. The Villages guides and anglers are dropped off on flats. The boat captain anchors where he can keep an eye on everyone, and when anglers are ready to move on to a new location, he picks them up. There are radios with each guide and captain.

Chris Wharton with a Triggerfish

Great Variety of Species: Christmas Island is world-famous for its vast numbers of bonefish, giant trevally, and endless clear water. The sand and coral flats make spotting bonefish easier than in other areas. During our 2025 hosted weeks, some of our anglers landed over 30 bonefish a day. (There is now a $1,000 fine if anyone kills and keeps a bonefish.)
Outside the reef, tuna and wahoo fishing are spectacular. This is also the place where triggerfish are caught.

The Villages - Two anglers per bungalow

Bungalows with ocean view at The Villages in Christmas Island.

Experience true Polynesian hospitality at the Villages, a locally run establishment since 2006. The Lodge overlooks an aqua-colored lagoon. There are ten air-conditioned bungalows. Each bungalow features a covered veranda, a private bathroom, and a shower. Stay connected with complimentary Starlink Wi-Fi. Enjoy cooked-to-order breakfasts and a variety of weekly dinner choices, including fish, chicken, beef, or pork.
Other Activities: The Island offers excellent birding opportunities; otherwise, it is not a great place to bring your significant other unless they like to fish.

Aerial View of Christmas Island

Christmas Island is about 1,300 miles south of Honolulu, just north of the equator. A Fiji Airlines flight departs from Honolulu to Christmas Island each Tuesday at noon. The three-hour flight includes a meal.

Fishing Christmas Island Flats

Guided fly or spin fishing at The Villages.

One guide per angler. An extra pair of eyes for spotting bonefish really helps. Some of the bonefish are in double-digit sizes.

Christmas Island fishing terrain

At The Villages on Christmas Island, each angler gets their own fishing guide.

You'll take a 5-to 10-minute skiff ride to the many productive bonefish flats and the reef drop-offs for exciting light tackle giant trevally, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, and sailfish.

Golden Trevally - Christmas Island
