About Kualoa Ranch - Half Day Secret Island Beach Expedition
Take a short boat ride across Kaneohe Bay to Secret Island, a private beach where you can spend a few easygoing hours however you like. Once you arrive aboard Aniani, you can settle into the sand, cool off in the water or start trying the different beach activities available throughout the day.
Kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, canoes, beach volleyball, badminton, table tennis and horseshoes may all be available on a first come, first served basis. If you would rather slow things down, grab a hammock under the palms or simply enjoy the quiet shoreline.
You are welcome to bring your own lunch, snacks and drink cooler. Glass bottles are not allowed, and cans are preferred to help reduce single-use plastics. Showers and changing rooms are also available on Secret Island before you head back across the bay.
