We did this as part of a tour. I personally wouldn't have done this on my own. They have plenty of water activities available which is nice. Too small of a beach for amount of people. Feels too crowded. Nothing special about beach. Food is mediocre. Be careful with Portuguese man'o war. No signs are posted when they are around. My kid got stung and the lifeguards nor any staff were ready to help or had anything on hand to help with pain. They will tell you they are rare but apparently not because of locals who told me they are in the area.

We had a wonderful time with all the activities. The staff are so kind and helpful. The food was good. Beautiful weather and place. We look forward to the next time.
Highly recommend this experience. It was unbelievably restful, fun, joyful and uplifting. You get your personal beach with various activities. I got to make a lei, go out on a boat to look at turtles, swing in a hammock and hang out in paradise. The staff were superb.
trip got cancelled due to weather, it looked like it would have been a good experience
Aloha, Mahalo for your feedback—we’re sorry your experience was impacted by weather conditions and that your trip had to be canceled. We understand how disappointing that can be and appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
Great and friendly staff!! Had a great time. We had the whole beach to ourselves. Will visit again!!
Overall we enjoyed our experience. We met at Kualoa Ranch, which was a pleasant surprise to see the property and take in the picturesque views. We were then shuttled over to a dock and took a quick boat road across the pond to the beach. We were able to paddleboard, and given the option to take a kayak out, a group kayak to a sandbar, a mini boat tour to see some turtles--a lot of options! We also took a small boat tour of the pond to see some of the famous movie spots. We were educate on ti leaf lei making, and were able to make those to bring home. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. If you're looking to relax and and learn some history, this is a good mix.
Was just alright. As someone said, if you have access to a nice beach then consider doing a different activity at K ranch. Every activity there is a separate charge. It’s a well oiled Disney-type of place in my opinion. Scenery was nice, lizard mountain. Perhaps I would’ve enjoyed the jungle tour more so.
My partner and I fully enjoyed ourselves on this excursion. The event started on time and once we got to the secret beach there were about 3 different tours that were free we had the option to do. We choose the turtle tour and movie site tour, both were great! The beach has volleyball courts, jenga, cornhole and many other games. The multiple guides on this tour were very nice and informative about the island and beach. We will definitely book this again on our next trip back!
Aside from the rain we enjoyed the secret island activities the staff was very friendly and made us feel like we were family or close friends.
I am going to keep short. This is kayaking for the beginners so is the equipment. You are not allowed to kayak past the mark area of the beach waters and is no more than 50 meters out and 100 meters along the beach. Also, would be nice if the staff on the beach do some clean up in the area and the beach itself, after all this place is the most beautiful on Oahu and the view from the “secret island” is astonishing. Keep it that way.
Mahalo for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the kayaking experience and the stunning views from Secret Island. We appreciate your suggestions regarding equipment limits and beach cleanliness — your thoughts help us maintain a safe, enjoyable, and beautiful environment for all guests. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon! 🌺🛶
