Castaway Cay

[2moms]

Just wondering what everyone's favorite activity is at Castaway Cay. We're sailing on the Magic this Oct/Nov w/ pre-teens and just looking for fun things to do while off the ship. Thanks in advance for any ideas!

We just love getting off, walking around, and laying in a lounger on the beach. With a little swimming/snorkeling, sometimes.

And, of course, lunch.

I highly recommend Castaway Ray's. And, hammocks!!!

My preteen daughter loved spending time with other teens/preteens playing volleyball. DH and I lounged.

What PP said-- one word..... Hammocks!!

We enjoyed the sting rays. DS and DH like to snorkel. I like to just wade in the water.

I liked the stingrays, but oddly, my 10-y.o. and 6-y.o. were pretty meh about them.

My (now) 14-y.o. son and I just did the jet-ski excursion and it was pretty awesome. Parasailing was cool, too.

Parasailing by far, my kids were 12 and 13 and they loved it. Tied with the Tranopy Adventure in Jamaica as the highlight of our western cruise on the Fantasy. Well, that and the fact that their heads weren't buried in their iPhones for a week was also pretty cool.

Snorkel, swim, 5K, and ice cream!

Besides Serenity Bay... The bike rides.

Relaxing and spending time with the family on the Cabana family beach.

At that time of year, the temperature is ideal for a family bike ride around the island

Snorkel, swim, 5K, and ice cream!

Better yet... ice cream sandwich with the chocolate chip cookies!

 

[bumbershoot]

5k, veggie burger and the beans (which are also vegetarian) and the couscous, and just lounging around.

Thanks for all the great ideas. We may check out the jet ski excursion or the sting rays!

Love Castaway Rays. We have the extreme getaway package booked for the second time! It includes the rays, snorkel gear, tubes and bikes for an hour. Best day on our last cruise. Way better than the Atlantis excursion! That was way too crowded.

 

[Happy100]

Riding bikes around the island.

 

[Otimon]

We walk the Hike/Bike path once in the morning and again after lunch.

Enjoying an empty cruise ship.

Hiking, renting a bike, taking pictures, hit the shops, eating, lounging at the beach with a favorite adult beverage and another and maybe one more
