Remote Island Holidays

On this desert island, the client may build their own shelter if they wish. We can provide basic sleeping materials should they prefer.

On this desert island, clients will need to forage for their own food. There are plenty of fish, edible roots, hermit crabs, some fruit trees, and even wild pigs. There are also many coconuts available. If a client is unable to handle the foraging, we can always provide food, as our team will be standing by on the nearest island. We can also teach clients basic survival skills during a short introductory lesson on the first day.

On this desert island you will be the only human. There may be small boats sailing in the area, but they will not be allowed to land on your island. Our team will be standing by on the nearest desert island just a few miles away, making sure that no boat approaches your location. The distance from the mainland is not very high. Since the area is extremely inhospitable, the client won’t see many lights in the distance. The feeling of isolation on this desert island is HIGH.

Our team will be on standby for the client at the nearest desert island 24/7. Shipwreck island is only a few miles away. The castaway will have a walkie-talkie and a cell phone. In case of an emergency, we can reach the island in just 15 minutes. If the client needs water, food or new tools, our team will go to Shipwreck Island to provide them. If the castaway feels too lonely or is unable to handle the experience, our team can go fishing with them on their boat.

In Shipwreck Island there are not many dangerous animals.

There are some small, harmless python snakes, and previous clients have occasionally spotted centipedes and scorpions. In the sea there are some blacktip sharks, which are harmless and afraid of humans. The only potential issue would be stepping on stingrays while barefoot, especially if someone is allergic to their venom. Therefore, we recommend walking in the water with shoes on. However, in the last 10 years and with more than 500 clients, we have never received any reports of problems caused by animals.

The only real threat could be while swimming, as currents may become strong if you go too far from shore.

Shipwreck Island is located in a very remote part of Indonesia. First, the client will need to fly to Jakarta (a flight booked by them, although we will assist during the process). Once in Jakarta, they will need to take a domestic flight to a remote region of Indonesia, which can be booked by us if preferred. Upon arrival at the local airport, our team will welcome the client and take them by private car to the harbour, where a boat will be ready to sail to the island. The client will likely need to overnight in Jakarta on the first day, but it is possible to reach the island by the evening of the following day. The time required to reach Shipwreck Island is MEDIUM

Shipwreck is available from from September to June

Our clients are normally keen on keeping their own privacy but some of them were happy to share their photos or videos with us. The famous castaway Xander Budnick spent 7 days on this island. His video reached more than 10 million views in only 6 months. You can watch it here. You can also find other clients on our Facebook page.

*Our price is valid for 2 people travelling to the island and staying at least 9 nights. If someone wants to go alone (SOLO) he or she would need to assume most of the cost of the second person too. For SOLO castaways we recommend other islands we have available which are more economic.

 

The price per person and per night on this island is 300 Euros.

For a experience of 5 nights for 2 people the cost would be around 1800 Euros per person.

For a experience of 5 nights alone (SOLO) the cost would be around 2700 Euros per person.

(we do not recommend to stay for less than 5 days on the island)
