The French Polynesian island of Tetiaroa is one of the most stunning and pristine islands in the world. Composed of a dozen small islands or “motus”, Tetiaroa is the crown jewel of the South Pacific. The Brando resort offers carefree luxury in the midst of pristine nature. With access to the island only by private plane, the resort features 35 villas on white sand beaches frequented by sea turtles, manta rays, and exotic birds. This resort was built to reflect Polynesian culture and lifestyle. A fly fishing trip to The Brando will be one of the most luxurious, authentic and enriching travel experiences of your life.
Tetiaroa is an iconic destination in fly fishing circles around the globe. Due to the population of massive bonefish, unbelievably healthy GT population, and loads of triggerfish and bluefin trevally. Tetiaroa truly is the pinnacle of the sport and offers a fly fishing experience like no other.
Thanks to Fly Odyssey and the Tetiaroa society, a tax exempt, US non profit organization dedicated to exploring innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing issues such as climate change, Tetiaroa serves as a living case study where the lessons learned can be implemented locally and applied to places across the globe.
