Celebrating 25 Years of Cast Away: A Tribute to Fiji’s Iconic Island Escape

Tourism Fiji is launching a campaign to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the pop-culture classic Cast Away. The blockbuster movie was filmed between January 1999 and May 2000 on Monuriki Island, one of the Mamanuca Islands in Fiji.

To leverage the 25th anniversary as a driver to increase visibility, encourage visitation and keep the island nation top of mind for travellers, we have created a short tribute film to launch the campaign.
