Nine challengers are left alone on a remote tropical island with no maps or tools, miles away from civilization. In teams of three, they must swim to different ecosystems on the same island - a sun-scorched beach, a twisted mangrove swamp, and a dense jungle - to begin their distinct survival journeys.

Alone with only their navigational skills, ingenuity and will to survive, they must fashion everything they need from wreckage and debris strewn across the island, including a shipwreck, an abandoned military jeep, and a crashed airplane.

In a Naked and Afraid franchise first, remaining survivalists will need to travel to the same extraction point on Day 21 and signal a boat for rescue.
