How to unlock the Hermit achievement in Stranded Deep - Definitive Guide
You can obtain this along with all the other 10 day achievements by just making a game on Creative difficulty (no hunger, thirst, etc. to worry about) with Passive wildlife (enemies are not aggressive, nor will they defend themselves).
Paddle to the starter island, then just stand there and leave the game running. If you want, you can create a shelter to sleep at. This will skip over most of the night, although it seems a bit random exactly how soon you wake up.
In game days are 40 minutes long. 20 minutes of day, then 20 minutes of night. 10 days will therefore take at most 400 minutes, which is 6 hours and 40 minutes of idling. Skipping some of the night by sleeping will cut down the time by a bit.
Entering the water, but staying near the island didn't seem to void the achievement for me. I'm not sure how far you can travel before it counts as another island. To be safe, I'd still recommend staying completely on dry land just in case.

I was able to search shipwrecks that were near my starting island. I think as long as your watch stats says you're only found one island you should be fine. I got the Island Hopper achievement on my way to my second island, I wasn't super close to the second island, but you'd really have to go far from the first island to find a second one.

This is a rather easy one to get, I do suggest that it be your 10th -15th island though for easiest play. I had gathered what I could from the previous islands creating a massive raft that I could carry a lot of crates(30+) around with me.
Then I tied this in with the farming achievement Green Thumb, and Horticulturalist (ended up getting this one a bit later as I was missing the Quwawa Fruit for during the 10 day stay). If you do have a few of each fruit though I am sure it could pair easily with the Vegetarian achievement too, each fruit give you 2 food and 1 water when eaten, so it would be quite possible with 4 - 6 fruit plots, stagger the planting times so that they mature at different times instead of having 2 or 3 going bad before you eat them.
For the most part you just bomb around the island and can swim out into the reefs to find clay or fish, this is a long enough amount of time that the large crab of boar will respawn. So do keep an eye out if you are wandering aimlessly.
