Tropika Island of Treasure is back for a ninth season and this year heads to the historical island of Curaçao in the Caribbean. Here six celebrities pair up with six Tropika fans to compete for fame and fortune, and a treasure of R1-million. Each week the pairs compete in a series of challenges, testing both their physical and mental strength, and taking them on an epic adventure around the island.
