We are just home from an amazing week living on a desert island off the pacific coast of Panama and it was a truly amazing experience that stripped us of all our modern conveniences and took us back to the basics of life. Tom and his incredible team of survival experts clearly love passing on their extensive survival knowledge and we all did our best to soak it up and learn as much as possible. The team at Desert Island Survival are so knowledgeable and passionate about what they do, they are so inspiring and just lovely humans making it an absolute privilege to spend time with them. Needless to say that after 4 days of survival training by this great team we were armed with enough knowledge to go and survive ourselves for 3 more days where we put our new found skills to the test. We made it and loved the whole experience. Learned many new skills, made new friends and developed a new perspective on life.
I cannot recommend Tom and Dessert Island Adventures enough. Just sign up and give it a go cos it’s an experience of a life time.

What an amazing experience! Tom ran things extremely well. I always felt that I was taken care of. The island had tons of resources to use, and was stunningly beautiful. But that didn't take away from being challenged. I learned so many things on my trip that I couldn't have done any other way - a totally immersive experience. All the way along, it was a pleasure, a mix of challenge, and excitement for accomplishing goals I set for myself. The guides/instructors are extremely knowledgeable, and accommodating. I would highly recommend taking this trip, it will highlight things to be thankful for in your everyday life, things we normally take for granted. Worth all the money, and time dedicated to this adventure. Do it while you can!

Our Desert Island Survival adventure off the coast of Panama, was truly phenomenal. It was an absolutely authententic & comprehensive experience, delivered by the most highly trained & talented instructors. They worked so, so hard to ensure they passed on their knowledge & positivity to us through the training stage so that we were set up for success when we broke into our tribes, for the survival phase. It was amazing fun on top of the new skills that we learnt, and it was a complete and utter privilege to spend time with such talented & passionate individuals…Azrael, Tom McElroy, Naomi, Nick, Layla, Tom W…you’re all ROCK STARS! You gave us the trip of a lifetime…with memories to match. THANK YOU! 🙏🏼

I'm not sure where to start, this was one of the best trips I've ever done. I learnt invaluable skills, reconnected to nature, reassessed whats really important to me, and made some new friends along the way. I can't recommend this enough to anyone who wants to learn more about themselves and tackle challenges they simply  can't face anywhere else. This is all topped off by the backdrop of paradise.

It is unbeleivably hard to put into words just how amazing my experience was on the Desert Island Survival trip to Panama!!!
Tom and his entire world class team were inspirational, knowledgeable, supportive and absolutely amazing instructors. I learned so many new skills that I cannot wait to showoff and pass on to others.
The team encouraged everyone to push themselves beyond where they believed their limits where, in a safe and supported environment.
I have come away with a new outlook on my own capabilities and inspired to do more with less appreciating all the amazing things in nature all around us.

Tom and team Desert Island Survival I send my heart felt thanks for everything. I will carry these memories on for life and hope I can add to them on another adventure soon.
