About Kualoa Ranch - Half Day Secret Island Beach Expedition
Spend a half day at Kualoa Ranch's Secret Island with beach time, ocean activities, picnic space and views across Kaneohe Bay.
A short boat ride across scenic Kaneohe Bay brings you to Secret Island, a private stretch of beach where the morning or afternoon is yours to enjoy at an easy island pace. Come aboard Aniani and settle into a peaceful setting with palm trees, soft sand and plenty of ways to play on the water or simply relax.
Activities may include kayaking, stand-up paddle-boarding, beach volleyball, table tennis or horseshoes and are available on a first come, first served basis. You can also swim, ride a canoe, play badminton or stretch out in a hammock with a good book beneath the palms.
You can bring your own drink coolers and lunch/snacks if you want … just no glass bottles allowed … cans are preferred to avoid using single-use plastics. Showers and changing rooms are available on Secret Island.
