Are these really the last islands?

Some are being sold or developed, yes. Each season may be the last for a selection of them.

Are future expeditions affected?

Not yet. Panama and the Philippines are still running throughout 2026, and our newer adventures in Botswana, Tanzania, and Sweden are already online too.

Why does Desert Island Survival keep exploring new places?

Because wilderness never stands still. When one chapter closes, we find another. Always real and always wild.
