7° 1.0′ S · 52° 44.6′ E

About 10,000 acres of white sand flats hold what Blue Safari calls the Indian Ocean's largest bonefish population, along with milkfish, Indo-Pacific permit, triggerfish and giant trevally, and sailfish and wahoo offshore.

Practical

Guided catch-and-release from shared or single skiffs; the operator says the season runs all year, with some periods suited to experienced anglers. Easy wading. Visiting yachts may not fish the flats without permission. Coordinate is the atoll centroid (lagoon) from OpenStreetMap.

World-class bonefish and triggerfish on fly
