what island was castaway filmed on

The movie Cast Away was filmed on Monuriki Island, which is a small, uninhabited island situated off the coast of Viti Levu in the Fiji Islands, in Melanesia in the South Pacific Ocean. Monuriki is part of the Atolls islands, and it is located in the Mamanuca Island group, located just off the main island of Viti Levu, Fijis largest island. The island was used as the filming location for the 2000 film Cast Away, starring Tom Hanks, where he is forced to survive on an island like a modern-day Robinson Crusoe. Since the film, Monuriki has become a tourist attraction, and almost every resort on the nearby islands offers day trips to Monuriki.
