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. To make things tougher, this season introduces a social and strategic element, where contestants must work on building and maintaining alliances with other teams to avoid elimination. In the end only one team will walk away with the grand prize.
