Fun Things To Do at Disney’s Castaway Cay!

If you’re looking to go on a tropical vacation, have fun in the sun, and want to incorporate some Disney magic, then a Disney Cruise is just for you! The destination is always important to keep in mind; you will want to travel somewhere that offers many different activities and gives you those core memories that last a lifetime! Disney Castaway Cay, Disney Cruise Line’s private island, is reserved exclusively for Disney Cruise Line guests on Bahamian and Caribbean cruises. It offers everything you need for the ultimate tropical vacation with Disney magic.

Once you are off the ship, you will experience balmy tropical weather and world-class recreation on a Bahamian oasis with signature Disney hospitality. Grab a beach towel and use your convenient Key to the World cards for retail transactions on the island. Everything you could possibly need for a beach day is there—from lounge chairs and beach umbrellas to tasty food and family-friendly entertainment. Castaway Cay visitors find an island completely outfitted for premium family leisure. Ample amenities include sprawling beaches, glittering lagoons teeming with sea life, splash-worthy water play areas, scenic walking trails, open-air BBQ dining locations serving complimentary meals, two shops featuring Castaway Cay gifts and souvenirs, free tram transportation around the island, and more.

All of this already sounds amazing, right?! There’s so much to experience on the island, so we have compiled a list of the top things to do while visiting so you can decide how to make the most of your time on this gorgeous island.

Castaway Family Beach

  • Have a blast sailing, paddling a kayak, or swimming and snorkeling in the blue lagoon.
  • Enjoy a feast at Cookie’s BBQ.
  • Take advantage of a host of good-time activities, from lively music and dancing at the Gazebo to tetherball, volleyball, and soccer at the Sports Beach. Children can even engage in an array of supervised games at the fanciful In Da Shade Game Pavilion!

Pelican Plunge
This 2,400-square-foot floating platform is adorned with nautical Flotsam and Jetsam. At this water-play area and platform, which celebrates the island’s native pelicans, take a ride on one of the two twisting water slides that carry you into the refreshing lagoon. These are some pretty epic waterslides!
