Eighteen celebrities were initially separated into three tribes with te reo Māori names based on flora and fauna of New Zealand: Kauri (Agathis australis), Kuaka (Bar-tailed godwit) and Mangō (Great white shark), including the merged tribe as Toroa (a Southern royal albatross).
This season was the first not to incorporate the show's pirate theme tradition in the game-play and introduced three celebrities (Dame Susan Devoy, Mike King and Ron Cribb) entered the competition subsequently as intruders on Day 2, Day 4 and Day 7 respectively.
On Day 1, the twenty-second contestant was honoured as part of the cast. Former All Black Va'aiga 'Inga' Tuigamala travelled to the filming location with the rest of the cast but left for health reasons and subsequently died. His chosen charity was awarded $5,000.
