How to get to Mythbusters' duct tape island
After watching the Duct tape island episode of the MythBusters show I was totally in love with that uninhabited island. They say it is in Hawaii but no more details.
Whats the name of that island? if it has one!
Is there a way to actually get to it and spend a night or two there?
Best Answer
From the files of "don't believe everything you see on TV (especially on Mythbusters)", we have...
The Island that you've included the photo for is "Green Island", and is located just off Cairns in Australia. It is most certainly not an 'uninhabited island", and even has a Resort you can stay at for only $600+ per night!
Fairly clearly that Island isn't where Mythbusters actually filmed the show. In fact, the footage of the island from above is simply file footage

They reran this episode tonight. If I saw it correctly, Turtle Bay Resort in Hawaii was listed in the credits at the end of the show. That would seem to agree with the answer above.
