CAROLINE ATOLL
AS GOOD AS IT GETS?
We have been truly mesmerized by the stunning, world-class catch and release fly-fishing at Kanton Atoll offered, so now we are putting our balls on the line to survey her remote, lonely and uninhabited cousin – Caroline Atoll (Millennium).
Our intel points in the direction of a conservation focused angling opportunity with potential for record sized Giant Trevally and Bonefish shots.
It is important to note that this expedition has never been conducted, however, it has now progressed into phase 2 planning stage. Expedition(s) will only be conducted with support/consultation with PIPA (Phoenix Islands Protection Authority).
AKA MILLENNIUM ATOLL
What's so special?
Not only does this atoll share many hallmark characteristics like Kanton, it’s sheer remoteness ensures a truly pristine and virgin ecosystem. There is no landing strip and access will be via sea only. Lastly, the atoll is protected by the PIPA and has zero human population.
I WANNA GO!?
Hold your horses there! The sticker shock on this project is very high, so if you have been allergic to the price of Kanton Atoll in the past – this will not be the expedition for you. This expedition is for the very few that understand the blood, sweat and effort that is needed to pioneer new destinations.
