7 of the Smallest Islands in the World You Can Visit

"A small, uninhabited isle in Fiji’s Mamanuca Islands and the filming location for "Cast Away," this place doesn’t even cover a full square mile but is ringed by white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters and dramatic volcanic rocks. Overnight stays aren’t permitted, but day trips from nearby resorts offer snorkeling, swimming and guided nature walks." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.

We went on a day tour here, and the boys guiding our tour were lovely. As the boat pulled up, the colour of water can only be described as picturesque. Absolutely breathtaking. Our guide took us for a short tour around the island as we were not allowed up to the top as Survivor was being filmed. Afterwards, we had a snorkel. The reef wasn't as colourful as Mana wall, still lots of fish, quite a few jelly fish, and a lot of Sealice. My son and I were bitten quite a few times, which scared him and made the snorkelling time shorter. We saw Wilson, the rock, and it took me back to the scenes on the movie castaway. I would recommend a trip here as the scenery really is beautiful

Beautiful spot, getting from the boat to the shore can be tricky as the shore is pretty rocky. This is the island used for the movie Castaway and where the current season of Survivor is being shot.

Monuriki is an incredible destination with stunning sandy beaches and excellent snorkeling opportunities. The well-maintained walking trail around the peninsula is a delight, and hiking to one of the peaks offers breathtaking views. Additionally, Monuriki is famous for being the filming location of Tom Hanks' movie "Castaway."

Such a great excursion. Snorkel right off the shore.

the island where the film "castaway " was shot. the island is truly beautiful, and it is always extraordinary to see the natural setting of a film. You will even see Wilson! This island is part of the Mananuca islands, close to one another it is worth taking some time to visit the nearby islands very different from one another. Dream beaches and crystal turquoise blue waters

Beautiful small island. Amazing turquoise water. Great for swimming and snorkeling. Small track for exploring on land. Takes you from one side of the island to the other. Only a couple of 100m in diameter. Coconut palms. You get here with Cruisingiji. A 100% Fijian owned company.

A must visit while going to Fiji. I couldn't find Wilson, but instead I found a gorgeous island with beautiful places for snorkelling, tropical forest with papayas and magnificent views. If you are lucky enough, you can find iguanas (haven't seen myself) and turtle nesting areas. Island by itself is indeed uninhabited, however there are many other islands nearby and you can see the main Fiji island on horizon. On of the few legit places from Tom Hanks movie would be a coconut cracker stone :)

Crystal clear waters and snorkeling amazing. Captain cook cruise staff keep it clean of plastics. A gem in Fiji.
