Spanish Travel Company Lets Guests Live Like a Castaway on a Remote Island

Want to live like Tom Hanks in "Castaway" or feel like a participant on "Survivor?" A travel company is offering customers that kind of experience.

Spanish tourism company Docastaway has a trip in which it sends customers to a remote island where you have to survive and find your own food, build your own shelter and fend off creatures and elements in the jungle, according to the Daily Mail.

"Exploring remote islands and staying on them for a while has been the biggest passion in my life, and I wanted to give other castaways the opportunity to experience the feeling of seclusion at the 'world's last paradises'," Docastaway creator, Alvaro Cerezo, told the Daily Mail.

There are 16 desert island locations that travelers can choose to be stranded on. They're located in countries like the Philippines, Indonesia and Central America.
Travelers are given fishing equipment and machetes as tools and they can choose whether they want to make their own shelter or they could stay in a tent, a fisherman's cottage, a tree house or a bungalow. Only one person or couple is allowed on an island at a time to guarantee maximum isolation.

Despite not being given much, the trip comes with a pretty big price tag. For about $1,600, guests can stay on the remote island for a week and that doesn't include flight prices.

Guests can choose from two different modes. The comfort mode includes buffet meals in modern bungalows

Adventure mode includes a stay in tents, fishermen's cottages, tree houses or basic bungalows. "They eat basic food, which for the most survivalist experience includes coconut and fish, but depending on the island, there are also bananas, durian, sagoo, palm heats, bamboo and crab," Cerezo, told the Daily Mail.

"It is perfect for people whose greatest dream would be to spend a few days totally disconnected from their everyday lives, to be in their own private paradise, miles away from civilisation. Even though the islands are not much bigger than three square kilometres, guests have been known to stay on an island for as long as 40 days. We normally advise all our clients no longer than two weeks," says Alvaro.
