Bikes on Castaway Cay

I've read here that you can get the bikes all day for $15. How does this work? Do they have a wristband and you just help yourself throughout the day? Or do you have to be responsible for one bike the whole day?

Think you may be a bit "saddle-sore" if you cycle ALL day!Also, the cycle route is very limited. We have twice done the 1hr bike ride, and found that was enough. We still had plenty of time then to enjoy the BBQ and various other activities. We plan to do it again next cruise, as we really enjoyed it. Nat

We loved the bike ride and wished the trail was longer. We didn't realize there would be cold water stations waiting for us along the way, so we brought water bottles (but next time we won't do that).

I hope they decide to expand it and make some sort of 'loop' back around, but I haven't heard any talk of that yet.

I'll bet bike path is about one mile total. Not exciting by any means....except kids enjoyed checking out that abandoned drug smuggler's airstrip and that old fassioned plane there. Caution: bike seats get hor in sun, water 'em down

I would say the one hour is plenty. As others have mentioned, the ride is'nt very long, but it is fun! They have baby/kid seats for toddlers too. We did this with our 3 yo daughter last time.

I do not remember if we had a wrist band or not, but we rented them near the main beach and biked near the adult beach, airstrip, etc. The cold water stations were a suprise! We had our water bottles and filled them up at the end of the path. There are two (or more?) bike stations where you can leave your bike, pick another if needed, etc.

I would'nt do the all day unless I was planning to bike a lot or was really slow...or shared with other people, etc.

If you had four adults/older kids that could the two bikes first...then switch off.

Thanks for all the info all! Guess we'll just go with the one hour rental - sounds like fun!
