Castaway Cay is a Disney Cruise line‘s private island and privileged only for Disney cruise guests. It is an exclusive port for the Disney Cruise Line ships in the Bahamas, near Great Abaco Island. Disney’s Castaway Cay is a tiny 3.1 mile long and 2.2 miles wide island, but offers plenty of activities like waterslides, parasailing, kayaking, a stingray interaction, bike and walking trails, open-air massages, water play areas, fishing, and more.
