REAL-LIFE SHIPWRECKED EXPERIENCE

THE THOUGHT OF BECOMING shipwrecked on a remote destination would fill most holidaymakers with dread.

For 1.200 euros, you can swap squabbling over deckchairs on the Costa Del Sol for a week in the company of monitor lizards, wild pigs and monkeys on your choice of remote tropical islands in Indonesia, the Philippines, as well as the Caribbean and Africa.
