Shh… Almost Nobody Knows This Secret Hawaiian Island Even Exists

You’ve probably heard of the main Hawaiian Islands: Maui, Oahu, Kauai, the Big Island, Lanai, Molokai… Maybe even Niihau and Kaho’olawe. But did you know that the Hawaiian archipelago is home to more than 120 uninhabited islands, islets, and atolls? With so many amazing secret islands just waiting to be discovered, you might have overlooked this secluded slice of paradise found right here in Oahu’s backyard. Let's explore this beautiful little uninhabited Hawaii island some more, shall we?

Located on the windward coast of Oahu is an oasis known as Secret Island. Though not technically its own island, Secret Island is certainly something special.

You see, this gorgeous and narrow stretch of sand is located between Moli’i Fishpond and Kaneohe Bay and makes visitors feel like they’re on their own private island… maybe because they kind of are.

While there are few private beaches in Hawaii, the only way to legally visit the stunning and surreal Secret Island is to book a tour through Kualoa Ranch.

Luckily, Kualoa Ranch offers an incredible excursion to this off-the-beaten-path destination where guests can take part in a variety of activities — from canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, and snorkeling to beach volleyball, table tennis, and horseshoes. Or, if you’d rather relax, you can curl up with a good book in a hammock underneath a swaying palm tree. Seriously, can you imagine a better way to spend an afternoon in Hawaii?

Don’t forget to admire the scenery, though! Backed by the Ko’olau Mountains, and surrounded by sparkling turquoise water, and fine powder-white sand, you’re sure to feel in heaven on this seemingly deserted island oasis.

You can even check out the stunning Chinaman's Hat and the surrounding Kaneohe Bay from the beach! Does it get any prettier than this?

Kualoa Ranch is an absolute must-visit for everyone who travels to — or lives in — Hawaii, and an excursion to Secret Island is one of the best (and most affordable) tours offered. To book your trip today, visit the tour outfitter's website.
