Tom Hanks Filmed Castaway HERE — We Sailed to the Real Island in Fiji
Welcome back to another episode of WE|Sail.
Survivor was filmed here. Castaway was filmed here. And when we discovered the actual island from the Tom Hanks film was just a few miles from our anchorage in Fiji, we had to go.
In this episode, we explore the real-life Castaway island in the Mamanuca Group of Fiji — the beach, the jungle, the isolation — and ask ourselves: could we actually survive here?
This is one of those episodes that reminds you why we left Colorado to sail the world. Pure adventure, iconic destinations, and the freedom to just... go.
🎯 WHAT'S IN THIS EPISODE:
– Visiting Monuriki Island (Tom Hanks' Castaway filming location)
– Mamanuca Group island exploration by catamaran
– Fiji island adventures for cruising sailors
– Could you survive on a deserted island?
– Sailing Fiji's most iconic islands
📍 LOCATION: Monuriki Island, Mamanuca Group, Fiji
