Christmas Island Fishing Lodge on Kiritimati

Guided Flats Fishing for Bonefish, Trevally, and More

Ikari House on Kiritimati (Christmas Island) is a premier fly fishing lodge built by the Teem Family for anglers who want direct access to one of the most productive flats fisheries in the world.

Located on the only channel connecting the lagoon to the Pacific Ocean, Ikari House offers immediate access to vast lagoon flats, fringing reefs, and bluewater. Target bonefish, giant trevally, triggerfish, and more with experienced guides whether you’re wading the flats or fishing from our fleet of fast, custom boats.

Our all-inclusive fishing program features six full days on the water, expert guiding for all skill levels, and a variety of techniques including fly fishing, spin fishing, and offshore opportunities.

When the day is done, return to our beachfront lodge just steps from the water. Enjoy comfortable rooms with AC, fresh meals prepared daily, and a relaxed atmosphere built around great fishing, good company, and the Kiribati way of life.

More fishing. Less commuting. Just pure access to the best water on Christmas Island.

The Fishing Program

Ikari House operates based on the weekly arrival of Fiji Airlines flights to Christmas Island. During your stay with us, we’ll provide everything you need for an epic experience on Kiritimati Island.

  • Daily guided fishing in the lagoon (with offshore options)

  • Comfortable accommodation at Ikari House—right on the beach in the best location on Christmas Island

  • A fleet of powerful, fast boats

  • All meals and other comforts

We’ll provide the opportunities. Presentation & landing ‘em is up to you.

Lodge-istics…

Logistics are a big part of the Ikari experience. The Republic of Kiribati is remote, making quality equipment and reliable staff essential to your fishing adventure. Our fleet of fast and comfortable fishing boats are the best on Christmas Island. When the power goes out, we use generators and solar. Our trucks start and have air in the tires! We have ice, AC, delicious meals, Starlink, and all the little things (and we have backups).

Above all, the staff and owners of Ikari House are here to host and welcome you to our home. We are a close family of guides, lodge managers, chefs, boatmen and helpful people. It’s an honor to host guests from around the world, and watch them go crazy for the fishing!

Our goal is to help you feel comfortable, rested, and (hopefully) happy.

More fishing. Less commuting.

You know when a spot is “fishy.” There are edges where the bait will attempt escape. Deep channels where predators are surely staging. The currents flow strongly. A confluence where the shelter of the lagoon meets the bluewater zone.
