You can book a guided trip to fish for Hawaii s peacock bass or saltwater species. Big Eddie and Joe s provides a comprehensive list of what to bring on the trip, but be advised that there is a seventy pound weight limit for checked baggage, after that there is a per pound surcharge. Unless you have your own Learjet, it may be advisable to check with your insurance agent about repatriation coverage as serious health emergencies are treated in Hawaii. There is a small medical facility in London. There is a scuba diving operation and bird watching, but if you don t fish there s not a lot to do on Christmas Island.
Snorkeling is an option, though there are large barracuda and sharks around.
While Australian dollars are used as the local currency, US dollars are freely accepted. But you won t need much cash on the island. Blue water fishing from an outboard powered outrigger is available by pre-arrangement. Fly rods designed for salt water have extra corrosion proofing, fighting butts, and the stiffness to fight big fish. Fly reels will be tested by these fish, so bring the best salt-water reels you can afford.
