Creator's Key Takeaways

We've been to Castaway over 10 times.

The key for our family to have a great day on Castaway with little kids is to get off the ship early.

We love that there's no swim requirement or potty training requirement for the slides at Castway.

This may be the biggest hidden gem on the island, biking with the whole family around Castaway.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get off the ship early to maximize cooler weather before the sun gets too hot.
Grab a wagon for towels and beach toys with little kids.
Use the free strollers and wagons, first come, first serve.
Plan for nap times or possible storms in the afternoon.
Ask at the hut if you can add younger kids to bike rentals.

Not knowing that younger kids can participate in bike rentals.Go up to the hut and ask if you can add more kids to your experience; it was totally fine.
