THE BASICS ABOUT CASTAWAY CAY, BAHAMAS
Castaway Cay is Disney Cruise Line’s first private island in the Bahamas. So, the only way to visit the island is to book a cruise that calls in this exclusive Bahamas port of call.

Castaway Cay has a pier, so you can just walk ashore from the ship. Once on the island, you can choose to walk or take a complimentary tram. There are four tram stops around the island.

Further, you can spend the entire day ashore without spending any money! There are several things to do on the island that will not cost you a dime.

WHAT'S INCLUDED ON DISNEY'S CASTAWAY CAY
Disney's Castaway Cay has several stretches of long sandy beach for you to have a day of fun in the sun.

Family Beach is the largest of the beaches. Here, you will find plenty of lounge chairs, colorful umbrellas, and hammocks scattered throughout the area. This is also where you will find many of the activities like watercraft rentals, snorkeling, and swimming.

While at Disney’s Castaway Cay, you are bound to get hungry…and thirsty! Luckily, there are plenty of food and drink options located on this private island. Most of these items are complimentary, minus the bars. "Cookies" and "Cookies Too" offer a free buffet-style BBQ lunch with plenty of tasty options. And with Disney, soft drinks are complimentary.

Serenity Bay Beach is the adults only area on Disney’s Castaway Cay. This area is reserved exclusively for guests 18+ and is located the furthest away from the ship.

Serenity Bay also has its own buffet. Shhhh...Don't tell the kids, but the food is upgraded for the adults. You can get burgers, ribs, and even steak hot off the grill.

Of course, if you want an adult beverage, the island has some bars as well. Though, these drinks will cost you extra money.

THINGS TO DO ON DISNEY'S CASTAWAY CAY
If your idea of fun isn't lounging on a beach all day, Disney's Castaway Cay offers plenty of activities to keep cruisers busy as well.

You can book excursions for parasailing, fishing charters, and glass bottom boat voyages. Or, you can rent watercraft activities like waterbikes, hobie cats, paddle boats, kayaks, and paddle boards. Further, there is a 22-acre snorkeling lagoon at Family Beach, In Da Shade games, and the Pelican Plunge water platform.

Disney’s Castaway Cay also has bike and nature trails for you to explore during your visit. So, pick up a bike for an hour rental and set off along the airstrip to the nature trails.

Castaway Ray’s Stingray Adventure is another popular shore excursion option on the island, where you can interact with these friendly rays up close and personal.

Not to mention, you could run a 5K, get a massage, do a little shopping, or live it up in a cabana.

There is even an area exclusive for kids and teens on Disney's Castaway Cay. Scuttle’s Cove is for kids ages 3 to 10 (recently lowered from 12 to 10) years old. Here, your little ones will be supervised by Disney cast members from the ship for a complimentary day of fun. Similarly, Hideout is for teens ages 14 to 17 years old.

I'm sure you will agree that Castaway Cay is a great vacation spot for the whole family.
