What To Expect

Your tour will begin along Oahu’s beautiful northern coast, at Kualoa Ranch. From there, you will be driven by bus to an ancient Hawaiian fish pond. Check out the surrounding tropical gardens before boarding a Polynesian boat to travel the last five minutes to the secluded beach.

Step off into the white sands of the private beach, set alongside the sparkling waters of Kaneohe Bay and with views of Mokoli’i Island. Secret Island Beach is encircled by hau and mangrove trees, keeping the atmosphere completely private.

Then, settle in however you’d like! Enjoy unlimited use of snorkeling, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and canoeing equipment for exploring the water, or play a round of ping-pong or volleyball on shore. When it’s time to put up your feet, take your book into a hammock or spread out on the sand to gaze at the scenery.

Restrooms, showers and changing stalls are available, but bring your own snacks, towels and swim gear. Any last-minute beach items can be purchased before boarding the bus at the Kualoa Ranch gift shop.

Your trip concludes at your original departure point.

Teens had a blast!

Bungum_B, Mar 2023

Our family really enjoyed the beach. There were a lot of canoes, kayaks, and other activities easily available that it kept my teens entertained for hours. Would highly recommend!

When we first arrived at the Secret Island I will admit we were a little disappointed thinking we could have just rented kayaks and/or paddleboards for a lot cheaper. However the day turned out to be really good with the best part going out on a boat and seeing lots of sea turtles. It was also fun having volleyball and ping pong. Be aware that there really isn't snorkeling as it claims. There was exactly one child's snorkel set but my daughter had a ball with it even though the water is really quite cloudy there. So it was a fun day and I'm glad we went. Would I do it again? Probably not, but I'm glad we did it once.

Nataliya L, Aug 2015

Snorkeling wasn't that great because of visibility, but otherwise it was great. I did expect a little more information from the guide, basically they just take you to the beach and you are on your own, which was fine with us
