Ahoy there, Shani! Thanks for stopping by planDisney. I recently visited
Disney Castaway Cay with the
planDisney class of 2024 so I raced on over as soon as I saw your question!
The Castaway Cay 5K is a must-do experience when you're visiting the island. It is an at-your-own-pace activity, for Guests 10 and older, that allows you to see the island to the fullest. I recommend getting an early start as the course, especially the area near the air strip, can get incredibly hot as the day goes on. Be sure to hike up the Observation Tower for breathtaking views of the island and a great photo opp! When you complete the 5K, grab your finisher medal at the Bike Rentals area.
Shani, while I loved riding bikes around Castaway Cay with my planDisney pals
Nilson and
Brent, bicycles are not allowed on the Castaway Cay 5K course for the safety of other Guests. In fact, "baby joggers, strollers, baby carriers, baby backpacks, inline skates, motorized scooters, bicycles, skateboards, canes, crutches, walkers, walking sticks, and animals of any kind" are all prohibited from the course. Any Guests that violate these rules, may be asked to leave the course. So, save the bike riding for after the 5K!
I hope this helps! Please visit us again if you have any more questions before you set sail, Shani.
