In Vanuatu, Karl met with local villagers as they were jumping off of a makeshift tower using vines. After much hesitation, Karl does finally join them in a jumpfrom the children's level. His next stop was the island of Tanna, where he met with a tribe that worships Prince Philip and did some "arseboarding" down the side of a volcano.
Finally, Karl made it to his final destination, a small deserted island where, with the help a local tribesman, he built a small shelter, cooked up a root (similar to a potato) for dinner, struggled with what Americans call prawns, and complained about the rain.
In the end, Karl decided that "happiness is like cake; have too much and you get sick of it."
If spending the night on a deserted island in the South Pacific is on your bucket list, Castaway Island in Fiji is as close as you can get without having to build your own shelter or cook your own roots. The resort is located on a 174-acre private island that is covered in tropical rainforest and surrounded by white sand beaches. Though there are other guests on the island, Castaway has more than 60 private, secluded bungalows to make you feel like you're all alone.
