One was Sandy Cay, a three-acre island near the Bahamas in the Caribbean. It is one of the many destinations featured on Disney Cruise Lines, most likely being Castaway Cay, but it is unknown which of the islands that were filmed. The other island used during the color episodes was Mokuoloe ("Coconut Island") near Oahu which covers 28 acres in size. </li></ul> <p /> Loading editor Season 1 Season 2 Season 3 Locations Below are some commonly used wiki markup codes.
