This season premiered on January 30, 2023, and aired weekly, Monday to Wednesday, at 7:30 PM on TVNZ 2 and TVNZ+; hosted by Bree Tomasel and a new co-host Jayden Daniels.[1] This season was the first season to include former seasons contestants and a winner since Superstars of Treasure Island in 2005, competed in charity challenges and a chance to win $50,000.[2]
Matty McLean won the treasure hunt on Day 15 and took $50,000 for Zeal NZ. Lana Searle and Dame Susan Devoy were the other two finalists. This season raised $120,000 across nine various charities across New Zealand.[3]
Eight fans went head to head with eight celebrities from previous seasons, all looking for redemption and hungry for the win.[4] The 16 castaways were initially separated into two tribes with Fijian names based on fauna of Fiji: Vai Vealoni (Fijian manta ray) and Beka Beka (Fijian monkey-faced bat).
Team Vai consisted of "The Fans" and Team Beka were "The Faves" of the show.
