Welcome to planDisney Bertha!
Castaway Cay is truly an island paradise! When I am at this lovely private island, I am the first one off the ship and the last one off the beach at the end of the day. It just doesn't get any better than this picture perfect island.
The Walking and Kayak Nature Adventure will take about 3-3.5 hours and is reserved for guests aged 10 and older. The exact time to meet up with your guide will be shown when you book this Port Adventure.
Since this will take up half of your beach day, you will need to decide if you want to give up the beach time. It is a fun activity since you get to explore new parts of the island you have not seen before. I have not personally done this excursion, but it does sound like a bunch of fun. My family loves to kayak so it is definitely on our Castaway Cay bucket list!
If you want to explore Castaway Cay but do not want to use half of the day on the Port Adventure, try
renting bikes. I certainly do not pedal super fast, but I find I can loop the bike route in just about an hour. I like biking to the tower for amazing views of the island and ship. You might also opt to walk or jog the 5k route for a great workout as well as seeing the "off the beaten path" part of the island. These options will give you the fun of exploring and still allow for plenty of beach time.
Port Adventures may be booked prior to your cruise once you are paid in full and are within your booking window. You may also want to stop by the
Port Adventures Desk once onboard. They will be happy to guide you to the perfect adventure (based on availability).
Whatever you decide, no visit to Castaway Cay is complete without a delicious lunch at Cookie's BBQ! Fill your plate with burgers, hot dogs, chicken, and more. All your favorites are waiting for you at this amazing lunch buffet.
Enjoy all your magical days on and off the ship during your Disney Cruise!
