A plane crashes on an island, and only one person survives. Natives from the island come out to greet her, and then give her a tour of the island (Papua New Guinea). How do I make that funny?

you need to add irony. In Tom Wolfe's book The Right Stuff there is a story about a Naval Aviator who had a bad angel that got him into some bad situations but there was always a good angel that got him out of them. On one particular occasion it looked like the good angel had taken the day off.
The aviator crashes his plane into the deck of an aircraft carrier- everybody thinks the guy is dead , his good angel had finally abandoned him. The pilot gets out of the burning wreckage without a scratch opens a hatch leading below deck and breaks an ankle stumbling around in the dark.
For your story
The obvious irony is that the natives are cannibals. This would fit the location. You could embellish that by setting the classic cannibal scene, whereas plates of food are brought forth, and dances are done and the soon to be victim thinks that it is all in their honor not realizing that they are going to be the entree.
Another way to do it would be to make her a quasi-anorexic movie / TV star with a nasty disposition- That even a cannibal wouldn't waste their time on. Closing line "Come back when you're fatter "

First of all she has to be the most self centered, egotistical all she ever cares about is how she looks kind of *****. Then you you have the plane crash in the water and when she makes it to shore she is covered with seaweed and all kinds of sea crap. When the natives come to greet her all she is interested in is making herself presentable not realizing that she is going to be the main course tonight. Have fun with that idea.

grab the crash awl, any first help and survival kit, any form of hat and clothing which will safeguard me from the climate, disconnect the get away tapes and take them with me. they are able for use as rope for securing stuff. The crash awl could be used to decrease them to smaller sizes if mandatory. for my section, i could grab as many of the liquor minis that i might desire to get. no use seeing them bypass up interior the placed up crash hearth. If time helps, i could wreck the mirror interior the lav and grab somewhat sufficiently vast to make a good sign mirror.

Speed it up and play the song from the Benny Hill show.

Gee, I don't think you can really make massive loss of life funny. What exactly are you making up this joke for?

The only way to not make this tragic is to make her the pilot with no passengers onboard.
