We just got back from a Disney Cruise to the Bahamas after visiting the Magic Kingdom and experiencing Pandora at Walt Disney World in Florida.

We left straight from Disney World to set sail on the Disney Dream to Nassau and to Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay (pronounced Castaway KEY).

We were provided with a Castaway Cay Getaway Package as part of the Disney Social Media Moms celebration. This 3-in-1 rental deal for ages 5 and up, includes snorkel equipment for the day, an inner-tube rental for the day, and a bicycle rental for one hour.

After picking up our snorkel gear from the hut pictured above, we headed straight into the water!

Snorkeling at Castaway Cay

We went in February and although the weather was gorgeous and perfect for lounging on the beach, the water was still very cold.

GOPR0 Snorkeling Underwater

There isn’t much to see at first. The water is shallow and the stirred up sand makes the water look cloudy. Keeping going though!

Kids snorkeling at Castaway Cay

The 20-acre snorkel lagoon is HUGE and full of underwater surprises! It does get deeper as you go, but it’s not really any deeper than a swimming pool would be.

Underwater Treasure Boat

I’m not going to show you everything we found underwater because I want it to be a surprise if you go.

Underwater Treasure Sub

But there sooo many things to find and they have markers in the water to help you find all of them.

Underwater Treasure Hidden Mickey

Castaway Cay was amazing! I love that the food is included on the island, the waterslides are a blast, beautiful white sand with plenty of chairs with umbrellas, but snorkeling was by far my most favorite experience.

If you are planned a Disney Cruise, don’t forget to print out your free Mickey Mouse Door Magnet decoration for your stateroom door.
