Current Special $1695 per person per week  for groups of 4 or more people. 

The new charter flight out of Hawaii leaves every Tuesday  and the price is $1052 per person round trip. This takes the place of the Air Pacific flights which will resume service when the runway is repaved. Space is limited on our smaller charter plane but it has the added effect of limiting anglers access to the island!

Ed Blank's Adventures on the Fly is proud to offer the 250 square miles of bonefish flats surrounding Christmas Island as one of our unique, personal, fly fishing destinations. Our Lodge is the oldest continually run lodge on the island and there is no substitute for experience.

The island is famous for its huge numbers of bonefish in the 3-6 pound range with plenty of opportunities to catch double digit bonefish on a fly. Ten- thirty bonefish a day are the rule not the exception.   These trips are for fly fishing enthusiasts who want to maximize their fishing time and flexibility while visiting Christmas Island.  The Mini-Hotel Kiritimati is the  oldest and smallest of the lodges on the island and can take up to 8 fly fishing guests at a time.  Our size allows us to do things a little differently than our competition. We fly fish harder and we fly fish longer with no overtime charges.  We fish the flats that are right for that day and tide and don't have a rotation schedule. If you want to go back to that killer flat you fished yesterday we can do it.  We travel to the flats by boat every day  rather than truck giving us more flexibility to move and follow the tides rather than a lodge schedule.

Christmas Island is a large atoll in the Republic of Kiribati ( Pronounced "Kiribati" the "ti" is pronounced as an "s"). It is home not only to a huge bonefish population but to several species of trevally as well (including the giant  which runs up to 100 lbs.). Imagine a hundred pound eating machine attacking your surface popper while you helplessly hold on! Then just pray you have enough backing!  If that's not enough how about tuna or wahoo, Mahi mahi, sailfish?

As you circle the runway you will see the flats that have made fly fishing on Christmas Island so famous. Someone from the lodge will meet you after you have gone through customs for the 20 minute drive to the lodge. You may have time to walk out to the flats near the lodge or you can get organized for the six very full days of fly fishing ahead of you. It won't be long until you hear that reel screaming as the backing disappearing from your reel at 22 miles per hour!  We are the only lodge that includes  unlimited  guided fly fishing in their package. Add to this personal service - no charge offshore fishing and it is clear why people who have been to both lodges prefer the Mini Hotel and Ed Blank's Adventures on the Fly.

Each day veteran guides will lead you to the best fishing the island has to offer. You and the guides board the catamaran each day around 7:30 am and start out into the lagoon.   There are some flats within walking distance of the lodge but we will spend most of our time on the flats that are accessible exclusively by boat. You and your guide will be dropped on the up current end of the flat and the boat will actually head for the other end. You will encounter most fish as they swim towards you into the current. This allows you to cover the most water without having to backtrack with the current to get back to the truck or boat.  Maybe you want to hunt for the big bonefish on the edges of a flat with a nice drop-off or you'd rather stalk fish in ankle deep water, customizing the places you would like to fish is a unique option found only at the Mini-Hotel Kiritimati. Few bonefish packages let the customers design their own trips; ours is an exception to the rule.

Top five reasons to book your Christmas Island fly fishing vacation with us instead of the big lodge:

1. Unlimited fishing time
2. Offshore fishing at no extra Charge
3. We deliver you to the flats by boat - not pickup truck
4. We are located at the boat launch not 20 minutes away
5. No set rotation of flats, we pick the best ones at the best times ( tides) for those flats, just because its Tuesday doesn't mean it is a good flat for that tide and that day!

6. Unlimited Fly Fishing (just in case you didn't see that the first time - would you rather fish 11 hours or just 7-8?)
Experience what many veteran Christmas Island fishing are learning, this small intimate hotel with top guides, and long fishing hours is the perfect way to fly fish Christmas Island.  Join us in the equatorial sun  of Christmas Island A.K.A. Fly Fishing Heaven!
