On teleporting to Twinning Isle and jumping off the cliff moving forward a bit, a cavity can be seen in the side of the mountain. This cavity will be blocked by a destructible wall which can be easily detected using elemental sight.
Upon breaking the wall, the player will find the cave in which there'll be a journal on a table which will give hints about the pathway to the distant island. This will activate the quest, and a location will be marked on the map to guide the way.
How to reach the Misty island
Upon reaching the marked location on the map, the player has to make sure that the in-game time is between 10:00 and 12:00 as per instructions. During that time period only, wind trails can be seen across the sea which will lead to the island.

Following the wind trail will be a bit strenuous as there will be lots of whirlpool on the way along with less visual clarity due to misty environment.

Beside the chests, a mural can be seen which will activate another secret quest when a picture is taken in photo mode. Players can refer to the following guide to learn more about this quest.
There are also a couple of normal chests on Misty Island which can be easily found by exploring around a little.
