AUGUST 10–18, 2027 · ANAA ATOLL, FRENCH POLYNESIA

ANAA ATOLL FLY FISHING HOSTED TRIP

THE AUGUST 2027 PROGRAM

Anaa Atoll fly fishing in French Polynesia

Isolation Outfitters is heading back to Anaa Atoll in August 2027 with our friends at No Slack Loops, who are exploring a growing range of fisheries across French Polynesia. We are excited to return and share this exquisite fishery to a small group limited to six anglers.

Anaa lies approximately 350 kilometers east of Tahiti in the Tuamotu Archipelago and is reached by a limited Air Tahiti service from Papeete. The program begins with one night (single rooms) at Hilton Hotel Tahiti before the group flies to Anaa. Rooms for the group have already been secured. Seven nights follow at a family-operated Polynesian homestay in Tukuhora, also confirmed for our dates.

The fishing program provides six full guided days – plus a half day on the arrival afternoon, subject to flights and conditions on arrival. Bonefish and giant trevally are the principal targets. Bluefin trevally, triggerfish, Napoleon wrasse, Bohar (red) snapper and other reef species add variety across lagoon flats, coral habitat, reef edges and moving water.

This is an authentic atoll program rather than a conventional lodge stay. Anglers fish in pairs with a lead guide. Meals are prepared by the local family and hospitality team, rooms are a mix of single and twin accommodation, and life at the homestay places the group close to Anaa’s community and lagoon. The available single rooms on Anaa are allocated by lottery which is drawn at the Hilton on our first night.

The US$6,495 fare includes the Tahiti hotel night, return Papeete–Anaa flights, Anaa accommodation, guided fishing, meals throughout the published program and we make a US$250 community contribution on your behalf. International airfare to and from Tahiti is separate.

THE JOURNEY, DAY BY DAY

FROM TAHITI TO ANAA ATOLL

TUESDAY–WEDNESDAY | TAHITI AND THE FLIGHT TO ANAA

DAY 1 · TUESDAY, AUGUST 10 — ARRIVE IN PAPEETE

Arrive at Faa’a International Airport in Papeete and transfer to Hilton Hotel Tahiti. A single room for this pre-expedition night is included. There is time to rest, prepare fishing equipment and meet the group for a briefing before the following morning’s domestic flight.

International airfare is not included. Guests must reach Tahiti by August 10 and should not book onward arrangements until the Air Tahiti schedule and complete group itinerary have been confirmed for 2027.

DAY 2 · WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11 — PAPEETE TO ANAA

Transfer to the domestic terminal for the Air Tahiti flight to Anaa. The local team meets the group at Anaa Airport and transfers everyone to the family homestay in Tukuhora.

After settling in and preparing tackle, the group joins the guides for a half day of fishing, subject to flight operations, weather and conditions. This first session introduces the lagoon, guides and fishing program before dinner at the homestay.

THURSDAY–TUESDAY | SIX FULL FISHING DAYS

DAYS 3–8 · AUGUST 12–17 — ANAA’S FLATS, REEF EDGES AND MOVING WATER

Each fishing day begins with an early breakfast. Guides normally collect the anglers at approximately 7:30 a.m. Boats carry packed lunches, snacks and drinking water.

Two anglers fish with each lead guide. A developing junior guide may also accompany the pair, supporting local guiding capacity while adding another set of eyes on the water.

The guides choose each day’s fishing around the tide, wind, visibility, weather and recent fish activity. The program can range across shallow lagoon flats, coral habitat, reef edges, passages and other suitable areas.

Bonefish and giant trevally are the principal targets, with opportunities for bluefin trevally, triggerfish, Napoleon wrasse, Bohar snapper and other species.

Fishing generally finishes at approximately 5:00 p.m. The group returns to the homestay before dinner at around 7:00 p.m. The precise daily plan remains flexible because productive water and safe access depend on local conditions.

WEDNESDAY | RETURN TO TAHITI

DAY 9 · WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18 — ANAA TO PAPEETE

After an early breakfast, check out and transfer to Anaa Airport for the return Air Tahiti flight. No fishing is scheduled on departure day.

The current planning timetable uses a morning service that may include intermediate stops. The 2027 schedule has not yet been published, so flight times and routing remain subject to confirmation.

Depending on the final timetable, guests may connect with a suitable international departure or arrange an additional night in Tahiti. Guests remaining in Papeete are invited to an included farewell dinner on August 18.

EXTEND YOUR TIME IN FRENCH POLYNESIA

Additional nights or a wider itinerary can be arranged before or after Anaa. Ask us about combining the expedition with Bora Bora, Rangiroa or Tikehau. Any additional accommodation, flights, transfers and activities are separate from the published Anaa fare.

A REMOTE TUAMOTU FISHERY

WHY FISH ANAA ATOLL?

Anaa is not a destination where an angler simply books a lodge and arrives. Air Tahiti operates limited services, accommodation is family run, and the fishing depends on local guides, boats and a program built around the realities of a remote Tuamotu atoll.

Isolation Outfitters is returning to Anaa with our friends at No Slack Loops, who are exploring a growing range of fisheries across French Polynesia. The group is limited to six anglers, with two anglers assigned to each lead guide. A developing junior guide may also join each pair, helping build local guiding capacity.

The fishing combines shallow-water bonefish with opportunities for giant trevally around reef edges, passages and moving water. Bluefin trevally, triggerfish, Napoleon wrasse, Bohar snapper and other reef species broaden the program.

The homestay is an important part of the week. Guests eat with the local family and hospitality team, stay within the island community and contribute directly through the US$250 community enhancement payment included in the fare. This is a carefully coordinated fishing expedition and a genuine stay on Anaa.

TRAVEL, PREPARATION AND BOOKING

PLAN YOUR ANAA ATOLL EXPEDITION

FARE, ROOMING AND GUIDING

The fare is US$6,495 per angler. The expedition is limited to six anglers, fishing two anglers per lead guide.

The Anaa homestay has a mix of single and twin rooms. Available single rooms are allocated by lottery, so some guests will share. The program includes a single room at Hilton Hotel Tahiti for the night before the flight to Anaa.

WHAT IS INCLUDED

The fare includes:

  • One night in a single room at Hilton Hotel Tahiti before departure to Anaa.

  • Return Air Tahiti flights between Papeete and Anaa.

  • Seven nights at the family-operated Anaa homestay.

  • Six full guided fishing days.

  • One half day of guided fishing on the arrival afternoon, subject to flight operations and conditions.

  • Two anglers per lead guide.

  • Boats, fuel and local fishing transfers.

  • Return airport transfers on Anaa.

  • Meals throughout the published August 10–18 program.

  • Packed lunches, snacks and drinking water while fishing.

  • A US$250 community enhancement contribution.

  • Cultural and community activities on Anaa.

  • Wi-Fi at the homestay, subject to local availability.

  • Hosting, expedition organization and pre-trip support from Isolation Outfitters and No Slack Loops.

WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED

The fare does not include:

  • International flights to and from Tahiti.

  • Additional accommodation required in Tahiti.

  • Meals, drinks, tours and transfers outside the published program unless specifically stated.

  • Alcoholic beverages.

  • Travel, cancellation, medical and emergency-evacuation insurance.

FLIGHTS, ENTRY AND TRANSFERS

International guests must reach Papeete by August 10, one day before the group flight to Anaa. Travelers from the United States can consider services through Los Angeles, San Francisco or Honolulu. These routes do not cross the International Date Line. Honolulu and Tahiti share a time zone, although mainland services may still arrive on the following calendar day after overnight travel.

Guests from Australia or New Zealand can consider services through Sydney or Auckland. Eastbound travel crosses the International Date Line and moves the calendar back one day; returning west moves the calendar forward one day. All hotel nights and connections must be booked using the local dates printed on the airline itinerary.

Air Tahiti operates limited services to Anaa, and some flights may include an intermediate stop. The 2027 timetable has not yet been published. We coordinate the group’s domestic reservations when the applicable schedule is released. Weather, baggage capacity and operational changes can affect the island connection. Do not book a tight international connection after the return from Anaa.

Each guest is responsible for holding a valid passport and meeting the airline, French Polynesian, transit-country and return-country requirements applicable at the time of travel. Official government and airline guidance takes precedence over general trip information.

PREPARATION AND EMERGENCY SUPPORT

Bonefish and giant trevally are the principal targets. Anglers should arrive prepared to cast accurately in wind, manage line on shallow flats and respond quickly when a trevally opportunity develops.

Isolation Outfitters and No Slack Loops will provide a detailed tackle, fly and packing list before departure. Guests must bring their own rods, reels, lines, leaders, flies and terminal tackle.

Anaa is warm, exposed and remote. High-quality sun protection, polarized glasses, suitable flats clothing, secure wading footwear, a light rain layer and disciplined hydration are essential.

The accommodation is a family homestay rather than a conventional fishing lodge or luxury resort. Wi-Fi is available but speed and reliability are limited. Electricity, communications, transport and other facilities remain subject to the realities of a remote Tuamotu atoll.

Comprehensive travel and cancellation insurance, together with appropriate medical and emergency-evacuation cover, is required for this remote program. Guests should disclose relevant medical conditions, dietary requirements and mobility concerns before booking.

BOOKING, PAYMENT AND NEXT STEPS

Contact Isolation Outfitters with your departure airport, rooming preference, saltwater-fishing experience and any additional travel requirements.

We will confirm current availability, review the itinerary with you and provide the applicable booking and payment terms. A place is not reserved until the required deposit has been received.

Before departure, we will provide detailed flight and transfer notes, tackle and fly recommendations, a packing list, insurance guidance and the final Anaa program.
