Monuriki Island, Fiji. Where Tom Hanks filmed Castaway!

- Monuriki is a small, uninhabited island situated off the coast of Viti Levu in the Fiji Islands, in Melanesia in the South Pacific Ocean.
Monuriki was featured as the anonymous island in the 2000 Robert Zemeckis film Cast Away, starring Tom Hanks; some tourists and travel agents refer to Monuriki as 'Cast Away Island', which is not to be confused with Castaway Island, or Qalito, an actual Fijian island within the Mamanuca Islands.
Wow!! This is the sort of place where you sit on the sand and look over the ocean and just collect all the pieces of your soul.
Gezena Elabd exactly
Too bad its gonna be underwater in a few years l
You can play puzzle with plastic pieces in hundreds of footsteps...
@Chris Miller hahahaha
Too bad you would go crazy after 10 min without cell service
I just watched "Cast Away" again for the first time in over 20 years. The scenario in the movie that caused Tom Hanks' character to get stranded would be such a perfect opportunity to disappear and have peace. Solitude and safety. No job and no need for one.
Imagine someone in real life purposely getting stranded on this island.
Living like a caveman for years. Think about it. Take away your clothes, food, comfortable home not to mention anything you have now at your disposal right now. No human contact, at the mercy of your survival skills and whatever nature throws at you. It would not be the easy getaway you think it is. Are you thirsty? Where are you going to get that drink of water from? Blisters from sun exposure. Not just laying on the beach for vacation. You'd be constantly working to stay alive not to mention the psychological effects of no human interaction. Maybe you could do it....but I doubt it.
Lame guy
Did Wilson made it back to shore 😢
yes I helped him haha
lets revive him 🥺💖
@@wecanfly777 oh cool!
@@wecanfly777 good you must reapply his face paint haha
Weird how I looks exactly the same and will look the same after we're long gone
I knowwwwwww
The universe doesn't need us, but we need it. Thank God for this beautiful universe.
Absolutely gorgeous.
Then imagine being there alone for four years, minus the other nearby islands, boat traffic, etc.
Was kinda hoping to have exact spots pointed out. e.g. cave, coconut wall, etc.
For real
My dream is to go there someday since I love the movie. Where did you fly to and how do you get to the island?
Nadi airport then go straight to Denarau island where you will catch the cruise ship that goes to this island and many others to enjoy😊
Julia Bl it’s too expensive
@@windshearahead7012 what did u expect?
@@permanentmarkingkid4529 It's not that expensive to travel there. I'm from Florida in the United States.
Been to Fiji. Absolutely beautiful. They actually have those islands you see in Mad Magazine and the guy waiting to be rescued with one palm tree and a mound of sand on nothing but ocean and horizon. I always thought that was a cartoonists joke but they actually exist.
I've seen them in the Bahamas too. Once we stopped at a sand bar. There was a coconut that was sprouting washed up on shore. We planted it in the middle at the deepest part. That was 34 years ago. I've often wondered what it looks like now.
@@deborahmerkerson1145 Ahhh that was nice of you.
I wish I could spend my life on these islands
wow what a life haha
You need woman ,you can't live without woman
Trust me you don't
@@alimuthanayafai2107 nah you don't
This is the kind of place I dream of going to get away from college and studying for exams 😩
and you will soon, one day! Andy
Yeah....same here
@@toazethegecko Me too.
Imagine building your dream home
on this island.
At least Tom ended up on an island like this with resources and a great view! Imagine if he had been stuck on a rock with just a couple of palm trees
That sounds impossible to survive
@@toazethegecko even if you were stuck on a rock with a few palm trees, you’d still have things to survive with.
It would feel like an actual heaven and crazy surreal experience if I could go there... this movie is my childhood and a core memory.
Damn that Island is beautiful. Tom Hanks really didn’t have it all that bad. Lol
i love the movie so warm and full of love
If I lived here I would never have another bad day for the rest of my life.
Am I the only one here watching this on phone while watching Cast Away on TV?
Just imagine all the stuff tom Hanks did in the island was left
You should've find the cave
Does this island have fresh water??
no
This is possibly the only way to make my diet stick.
The Hanks diet.
In Switzerland we have snow avalanches - On Fiji Islands you have coconuts... Each country has its own danger....
Frederick König good point 😂😂
Nothing to harm you down in Australia🙄
@@vc8160 Oh yeah? On land, Australia has many kinds of poisonous snakes plus crocodiles and spiders. In the sea there are sharks, cone shells, box jellies and blue ring octopus. That's just off the top of my head from the many nature documentaries I've watched. With my luck I'd last about two days.
@@deborahmerkerson1145 he was being sarcastic.
Ooooh man 😍😍😍😍 this is living the dream....
I missed Wilson😆
Someone over pay me so I can afford to travel to places like this
Where is Wilson😭
What a Wanderflug Place. Greetings from Germany
Wonderful
Hi! I’m from Romania, and I plan To go for a week in Fiji in few weeks. How much did it cost The accommodation and The separate trip To Monuriki?
Wow u would be able to take a 12volt battery and solar and a 12volt fridge and stay out there for a week easy
Oh!! The deception of the movie!
That's Hollywood for ya!
Bakersfield?
hmm?
Bakersfield !!!!!!!!
That's one of my fav scene 😆
You should check out he's letters in a big stone before he leaves you know the "1906 days of him being there and the Cave also but i don't think those are real
Thank you for showing us this little and nice Island ..Did you find Wilson .?? Best regards from Canada 🤙🌿🍹🍷👌✌
Amazing place, wow.
Pretty kool. I’m watching the movie, at the exact scene you were explaining about him making fire.
Perfect place to live off wind energy and windmills.
i like your style
Love your profile pic! Puerto Rico Babyyy yaas🇵🇷
Cast Away (2000 Film)
Did you ever found wilson
oh not yet haha
Is his cave there, or was that something they created just for the movie?
I would love to find that out also.
Cast away
Wilson seems to float out there with his Cam looking for new peoples he can fell in love with..but..its only Tom Hanks for him, EVER!
I missed him!
did you find wilson
Tondo Mapping sadly not. He went for a swim
To jest kurwa świństwo dla całego świata filmu że Tom Hanks nie dostał OSCARA za tą role!!!!
NIECH CAŁY HOLLYWOOD SIĘ JEBIE!!!!!😮
Good for you hope you enjoy your trip
Still to this day i dont know why wilson left 😢
Poor Wilson. He's still floating out there somewhere.
So cool, Imagine if you really got stuck there with no food or water.....and an ice skate ⛸️😮
I have been 5 times watching Cast away film of Tom Hank and Helen Hunt . I love it' i think during filming those movie it was very greenish forest) but it seems quite a litle different now ??.
At least this guy didn't experience seeing any FedEx packages wash ashore. That would have been freaky. I wonder if a jetliner has ever crashed into the Pacific Ocean within 200 miles of this site?
Is it really inhabitated?
Laine 143 no it’s uninhabited
I wonder if the "pilot dummy" still buried back there...🤔💭🤭😁
Che bello rivedere il posto dove è stato girato il film con Tom Hanks ❤️
amazing man.. amazing..
Carefull, that island is full of burried poop from tom hanks 😂 😂 😂
Next time, go buy a wilson brand volleyball and bring it with you on this trip 😄
Woah, had no clue that island was surrounded by other islands.
Thanks... Awesome! 2 words... "Mic Muff..." :D
Thanks so much for this video its amazing
de nada y gracias
Too bad there wasn't a part 2. "Wilson Returns."
I wish I could go there. I love Tom Hanks movies🥰🥰🥰😍😍
*"I HATE STARDOM!"* -Island
My favorite movie of all time.
Especially and do not forget Mrs. Helen Hunt … i love that beautiful women😍
Bro you had to watch that movie in this place 👍👍👍😁
I wonder if he tugged it on the island, 4 yrs is a long, lonely time.
omg this mega mega mega awesome
Absolutely amazing !!!
james coyle isn’t it !
" perfect white sand beaches " as the camera shows brown sand.
tricks of movie special effects ...computers
Wow beaitiful
thanks!
Amazing images, as usual. Thank you for sharing a few of your moments in this paradise with us. We love you!
Cheers! It's my pleasure!
What you did to Gabby was horrible.
did you find "chuck noland was here 1500 days......." writing at the rock? or the film crew already removed it?
I did not see it!
🌹🌹😍😍
Wilson got in island dog caught
No upward climb?
The movie is the reason why you start hating tropical paradise Islands. Lol. Nice video Sir.
thanks!
Thanks for taking us there with you
This is surreal. Watching cast away right now and seeing a different human being there is crazy. But in this day and age, it's not starting to be crazy cause how easy it is to get to places.
thx!
Don't go in the crave what a shame
Kind of like Neverland.
Where's the cave?
its in the jungle at the foot of the mountain :)
Please show cave
Do you want me to return and film another vlog there this summer? @@tr-3b39
That'd be awesome! Totally up To you my friend, bring me if you want 😂
@@wecanfly777 If you're going to be in the neighborhood, yes! Also, what is the sign I could see in your video? Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Heaven on Earth. Thanks for filming
Beautiful indeed, but it will not be beautiful if you are stuck there for 5 years and no-one comes to rescue you.
than you are castaway !
Did you find the cave where Tom Hanks spent the night?
I didn't go that far back sadly
Probably litter on it now
Did u not go check out the cave
Our entire planet is very beautiful, if it were not for population growth destroying unspoiled nature, filling up the planet with buildings, changing the face of the earth to something like HELL.
agreed!
hell yyyyeeessss!!!
اين هذا المكان؟
I want to live there
me too! but its not allowed ;)
Well, this place was used for Survivor: Edge of Extinction.
If Bulma’s ( DBZ ) Capsule Corp house capsules were real, I’d buy one, move to that island with a RealDoll away from society, and live happily ever after.
And no, I won’t name the RealDoll “Wilson”. 😆
Is this really where the real life cast away guy stranded in??
the real life guy is who?
@@wecanfly777 I dnt knorw? As far as I know cast away movie is were based on true event werent they??
@@hafizal3701 no the movie is fake. the island is real tho
Oh.. I thought it was a real one.. thnx man
@@hafizal3701 The actor in Cast Away is Tom Hanks. He's an Academy award winner. If you haven't seen his other movies you might enjoy them. Apollo 13 is one of my favorites which is based on a true story.
Wow ! Lucky Man u ARE
I'd have stayed.
I... Have made fire
“The air got to it!”
