So, the only way to visit the island is to book a cruise that calls in this exclusive Bahamas port of call. Unlike some other cruise line private islands, Castaway Cay has a pier. Thus, cruisers 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. 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 features most of the same amenities as Family Beach just minus the kids. 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. There are three food stations on the island that serve a free buffet-style BBQ lunch with plenty of tasty options. 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 12 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.
