Almost two years after it was first announced, Australia’s brand-new reality TV phenomenon, Stranded On Honeymoon Island, has finally premiered. The Channel 7 series, which is narrated by radio host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, has been described as a mix between Married At First Sight and Australian Survivor as contestants get paired off and dropped on a remote island in the South Pacific with nothing but their wedding attire.

The newlyweds then have to tackle their issues of communication, compatibility and commitment as they coexist with one another and battle the elements on the island. Every few days, they will receive a mysterious crate containing news from home, games, or invitations to meet the other couples and discuss their relationships.

Each couple will also have the choice throughout the experience to stay or to ‘flare’, which signifies that they wish to end their time on the island and return home.

The series will end with the brides and grooms reuniting to make final promises to one another and choose whether they will continue their relationship or say goodbye. The entire cast will then come together for a spicy reunion filled with bombshell revelations about the once-in-a-lifetime experience.

With the season now underway and all six couples matched up, here’s everything you need to know about the Stranded On Honeymoon Island 2025 participants.

“This experience is completely different for me. There are so many things I feel like I can learn from it,” he says. “I love that I’m not going to have my phone. Everything I’ve known from dating is gone, and I get to start fresh, blank.”

She applied for the reality show because “it was a new experience and adventure that seemed fun”, and she is keen to find a serious relationship.

Byron is a 34-year-old electrician who lives on the Gold Coast and loves travelling, immersing himself in high-octane sports, and spending time with his family. He describes himself as an easy-going bloke who loves to get out and discover the world, and has been single for two years.

Tom is a 30-year-old business analyst, entrepreneur and doting dog dad from Canberra who struggles to find genuine attraction and connection with women via dating apps. He describes himself as playful, easy-going, and “a bit of a pest”, and has been single for three years.

Emanuel is a 30-year-old music producer, model and performer who lives on the Gold Coast but was born in Austria. He describes himself as friendly and outgoing, and is ready to put his heart on the line again after a difficult relationship breakdown two years ago.

When asked why she applied for the reality show, she said: “It’s scary, but that’s where growth lives. I like the extremes of it. You go from single and unsure to living on an island with a partner, which is unique and make-or-break. Plus, I love the slow burn side of it. It requires patience, discovery and champions compatibility.”

Sam is a 31-year-old personal trainer who runs a boxing gym in New South Wales and is searching for someone who would make his late father proud. He describes himself as outgoing, confident and very thoughtful, and has been single for eight months.
