Aitutaki is a tropical fly fishing paradise — remote but far from rustic. Boutique air-conditioned lodging and high quality fresh local cuisine awaits after a long day on white sand flats.

What Aitutaki offers in abundance is world-class flats fishing in 30 square miles of crystal-clear lagoons.

You’ll be sight-casting to bonefish, bluefin and giant trevally, wading pristine flats over a memorable week of flats fishing, soaking in turquoise waters and unforgettable South Pacific atoll scenery.

For US anglers, we recommend arriving into Rarotonga from Honolulu Friday evening, and transferring to Aitutaki on Saturday morning. This gives you 5 and a half days of guided fishing on the atoll, plus Sunday is yours to explore, dive, or fish on your own. You travel back to Rarotonga the following Friday (or Saturday early morning) for your Rarotonga to Honolulu homeward flight.

The island enjoys several close-by dining choices for evening meals and we can advise on accommodation options to meet your budget.

Expect to fish for large bonefish each day, exceptional giant trevally, bluefin trevally and triggerfish, plus other species. All guides and boatmen are highly experienced. Fly selection lists, packing lists are provided on booking.

Let us advise on your travel itinerary and fly fishing program at Aitutaki, Cook Islands. Our Aitutaki Program is exclusively available through Isolation Outfitters.

Destination: Fanning Island (Tabuaeran)
Dates: Selected weeks in 2026/2027
Focus: Guided flats fishing to trophy bones & GTs
Group size: Strictly limited to six anglers per week

Description:
If you have a small group wanting to fish Fanning Island, we may be able to accommodate you outside our hosted trip program.

Flights from CXI into Tabuaeran are scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday, but flights may not always be available due to engineering, scheduled 60 day maintenance, or pilot training, which happens offshore.

We can help to align your stay with dates when the aircraft are flying, the tides and moon meet your neap or spring requirements.

All internal transfers, meals and accommodation is provided plus expert guides, and the authentic Fanning Island experience of thatched huts, local provisions and isolated lagoon flats.

You can decide to stay on Fanning for five days (Thursday - Tuesday), seven days (Thursday to Thursday) or even 13 days (Thursday + one week to Tuesday).

Ask us to plan an itinerary for your group, or join one of our non-hosted group weeks on Fanning Island. We’ll have up to twelve trips on Fanning Island in 2026 and, subject to a vacant spot, you’re welcome to be part of the crew.

Ikari House Lodge is one of the top three fly fishing accommodation/guide/boat providers on Kiritimati. Its London location means a slightly longer commute from the airport when you arrive , but then every day requires a very short transfer down to the beach and to the Ikari House fast boats.

It’s only a short walk to village shops for fruit/wine/beer/provisions and snacks or island nightlife if inclined.

The kitchen staff are exceptional and serve a great cooked breakfast, and the lodge enjoys attentive room staff as you’ll experience.

Importantly Ikari House owns — and therefore has priority access to — the fast boats used by the boat drivers who will take you out to the flats. This means that during the busy visitor season, you and your boat will be parked on the flat of your choice well ahead of the slower pangas carrying envious guests from the other lodges.

A discussion with us, your guide or the Ikari House head guide each day can help to plan your week around visits to the Korean Wreak if desired, returning to a previous location, or dialing up focus on one particular species. the team are flexible and very willing to help.

We have direct access to senior guides and can assist with liaison to ensure your satisfaction.

Christmas Island (Kiritimati) also has fabulous offshore GT, tuna and wahoo if you want to ask your boatman to push out beyond the breakers and pack the right gear.

Destination: Christmas & Fanning Islands
Dates: April 1–14, 2026 (Two weeks)
Focus: Big bonefish and giant trevally
Group size: Limited to six anglers

Description:
This is the ultimate bucket list expedition for committed saltwater fly anglers.

The Last Flats takes you deep into the South Pacific – first to the well-loved bonefish haven of Christmas Island (Kiritimati), where you’ll sharpen your flats game across CXI’s legendary coral edges and pancake white flats. Then, it’s off to the rarely visited, wildly remote Fanning Island (Tabuaeran) – a frontier fishery where double-digit bonefish, powerful giant trevally, and unpredictable triggerfish patrol untouched waters.

Over two unforgettable weeks, you’ll explore vast, under-pressured flats alongside a small group of like-minded anglers. Hosted by experienced fly angler and gear tester Southflyfisher, the journey is fully planned, logistically smoothed, and all about maximizing your time on the water – from classic bonefish sight-fishing to adrenaline-fueled GT encounters.

This is not your average lodge trip. It’s two weeks off the beaten track, where solitude, exploration, and monster fish converge. Spots are limited.

Destination: Fanning Island (Tabuaeran)
Dates: October 7–14, 2026 (One week)
Focus: Big bonefish and giant trevally
Group size: Limited to six anglers

Description:We’re heading back to Fanning Island for a week in October 2026. This trip is for those who couldn’t make our ‘Last Flats’ hosted trip in April.

We’ll fly into CXI on Wednesday from Honolulu. Then repack and head to Fanning on Thursday morning to fish the flats that afternoon.

With remote and un-pressured water, expect to fish for bonefish in the 4-7lb average class on Fanning, plus lone fish in the 8-10lb class. Equally, giant trevally will be of a larger average size and are more plentiful than back on Christmas Island.

After five days of fishing, we return to Christmas Island on Tuesday afternoon for our customary trip celebration and take the Wednesday morning flight back to Honolulu (US anglers), or Wednesday afternoon for those heading back to Australia/New Zealand via Fiji.

There is an option to fish Christmas Island the previous week, or to stay on and fish CXI the following week, or even to stay on Fanning for an extra few days. Talk to us and we can help plan your week on Fanning Island.

Destination: Aitutaki, Cook Islands, South Pacific Ocean
Dates: August 14-22, 2026 (One week)
Focus: Trophy bonefish on idyllic South Pacific flats
Group size: Limited to five anglers - two guides and one host

Description:
Aitutaki is the definition of remote tropical beauty – turquoise lagoons, white sand motus (islets), and flats so clear they look retouched. But beneath the postcard surface lies one of the most exciting and challenging bonefish fisheries in the world.

These aren’t schoolies. Aitutaki’s bonefish are big — routinely in the 6–10 lb range, with some pushing well into double digits. They’re powerful, wily, and often solitary. You’ll be hunting true trophies in gin-clear water, often with your heart pounding and backing already disappearing.

Our hosted trip to the beautiful atoll of Aitutaki is designed for experienced anglers who want to combine island time with serious flats fishing.

You’ll be based on the main island with access to expert local guides and skiffs that get you quickly to the prime flats. Between sessions, unwind with fresh island food, cold beer, and lagoon views that don’t quit.

This is a trip that pairs world-class fly fishing with full immersion into Pacific island life – all planned by the team at Isolation Outfitters and hosted by Southflyfisher.

Think of it as your tropical reset button... with tailing bones.
