Our Signature Experience:
Desert Island Survival

The adventure that started it all. For up to 11 days, you’ll live as a tribe on a pristine, uninhabited island.

5 days of training
with world-class instructors.

3 days of survival
with only the basics.

1 unforgettable celebration
at the end.

This isn’t a holiday.
It’s a primal reset.

You’ll learn to build fire, catch fish, forage, and sleep under the stars. You’ll laugh with strangers who quickly feel like family. And you’ll discover how stripping life back to the essentials can be surprisingly joyful.

More than islands

Desert Island Survival was just the beginning. Founder Tom Williams has curated new expeditions that take our survival formula into jungles, rivers, forests, and tribal lands around the world.

Each one combines raw wilderness, cultural immersion, and the thrill of challenge. Wherever you go, the heartbeat is the same: learn, survive, celebrate.

How it works

Every expedition follows the same rhythm — a balance of learning, challenge, and celebration that transforms a wild environment into the adventure of a lifetime.

Phase 1: Learn

Train with expert instructors
and gain essential survival skills.

Phase 2: Survive

Put those skills to the test in raw,
untamed wilderness.

Phase 3: Celebrate

Return stronger, clearer,
and full of stories to tell.

This rhythm runs through every adventure — whether you’re castaway on a desert island or deep in the African savannah.

Why choose us?

Because no one else does survival adventures like we do.

Extraordinary Locations

Yet Safe

    • Not for everyone

    Please note: these experiences are not for everyone. Expect a full digital detox, encounters with insects, open nature, and life without modern comforts like toilets or showers. It’s about stepping out of your comfort zone — and into a little discomfort.

    Who thrives on our adventures:

    Open-minded
    explorers

    Challenge-seekers
    ready to test themselves

    Growth-minded
    adventurers who want to push through adversity

    For those people, the reward is worth it: resilience, connection, and the wildest stories of your life.
