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.
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
I called IMDB to the rescue. The filming location is: Turtle Bay, O’ahu, Hawaii, USA
The photo you have uploaded can be bought It appears to be Green Island in Australia.
I did find the location of island mentioned in the question through google image search. To this relatively new feature of google search enables to locate a picture. This can be done by dragging any picture to the search field of google (which then changes in a dropbox). This picture itself is then the “keyword”.
The approach is not water tight, but in this case it was possible to identify green island.
