Disney Cruise Line {Castaway Cay Getaway Package}

If you’re headed on a Disney Cruise to the Bahamas or Caribbean, you will probably get to enjoy a spectacular day at Castaway Cay!  Here on Disney’s private island, you will find sprawling beaches, sparkling lagoons, water play areas, scenic walking trails, characters, kids clubs, dining and shopping.  There are also a variety of additional port adventures you can book to enhance your day, one of which is the Castaway Cay Getaway Package.

Castaway Cay Getaway Package

The Castaway Cay Getaway Package includes three family-friendly adventures in one package at a discounted rate!   By reserving this port adventure, you receive snorkel equipment for the day, a float or inner-tube rental for the day, and a bicycle rental for one hour.

Snorkel on Castaway Cay

Renting the snorkel equipment gives you access to the beautiful 20-acre snorkel lagoon located at the Family Beach.  There are loads of tropical fish, sea turtles and even surprise sunken treasures to be found. While the lagoon has very calm waters, it is still quite a ways out to see the treasures so I recommend this activities for strong swimmers.  The snorkel equipment is yours for the day and you are welcome to come and go from the lagoon as you wish.  Life jackets are also available.

Floats on Castaway Cay

The second part of the package includes your choice of a float or tube to enjoy for the duration of your day!

Bike Rentals on Castaway Cay

Finally, the last part of the Getaway Package includes a 1-hour bike rental to explore the island!  We had done the snorkeling and floats on previous cruises, but this was our first time on the bikes.  And, they were SO much fun!!

The easy and flat 1.5 mile bike trail takes you around the same initial loop of the 5k race.  You will see all sorts of island relics along the way.

Make sure you leave time to climb to the top of the lookout tower about half way around the loop.  From here you get spectacular views of the island and water.

Next, the trail takes you down the old air strip and past Serenity Bay, the adult beach.  Back here is just lovely!

Ending Your Castaway Cay Day

Afterwards, be sure to stop for a smoothie ($) or ice cream (complimentary) for a sweet ending to your ride!

One of my other favorite parts of the Castaway Cay day is at the very end where you are handed a nice cold towel and are offered a selection of infused waters, juice and tea.

All in all, we loved the flexibility of this package so that we could stay on “island time” but still have loads of options for our entertainment.  With the floats and snorkel equipment available all day, you can come and go from those at your leisure.  The bikes can also be picked up at any time for 1-hour of use.
