“Unbelievable! Unless you have been there and experienced bone fishing.
Great food, attentive staff, comfortable accommodation and a guide with a wicked sense of humour and eyes to see a bone fish in wavy water at 100m.
The fishing is everything you have heard and much, much more. Bone fish – think torpedo, only faster!”
Frank Hussey
“I’ve been lucky enough to have traveled a lot and fished around the world.
I know that really good fishing can be easily undone by unenthusiastic guides and staff, uncomfortable accommodation or poor food.
At Ikari House, you’ll have none of that. Firstly, Kiritimati (Christmas) Island has really good fishing as the countless flats abound with bonefish of all sizes.”
Patrick Brennan

The guides and staff of Ikari House were brilliant and made the experience even more memorable. The trip was nothing short of fantastic.”
