If you've ever wanted to go to Christmas Island for bonefish, you've got to look at this trip I've scheduled for Oct. 23-29th. I loved Christmas Island this last Feb. and wanted more warm saltwater fishing. The SOUTH PACIFIC was always in my mind and I started looking and calling and watching all the YouTube videos, and this is what I found.
The largest bonefish in the world live in Aitutaki. Part of the Cook Islands and only a hop and a skip from an Air New Zealand hub on Rarotonga. Perfect, a direct flight from LAX. Found an affordable fly fishing lodge and started calling for more information about their fishing packages. Everything keeps getting better, they use the New Zealand dollar.
Here's what I booked: A twin villa for 5 nights, 5 days guided fishing, all meals, all airport transfers, fishing license, and even laundry.
So, How Much? $2485.00 "NEW ZEALAND" dollars equals " $1739.50" American U.S. dollars Incredibly cheap price.
This prices does not include getting there though, so I start looking around and found every Sunday night Air New Zealand flies direct to Rarotonga. From there it's a quick shuttle to Aitutaki and fishing.
Another great find was Air New Zealand has a SALE on this flight through the end of August for only $827.00 round trip. :)
Want to go ? I've got space for a couple more friends that like fishing the flats for bones and GT's and trevally galore.
Give me a call or write for more details. I'd love to have you come along. Tony
