How much are the bottom fishing rentals and exactly what time do they start and end?
|
Castaway Cay Bottom Fishing is $110 per person and last for about three hours. This fishing trip takes you to the Abaco Islands. Bait and tackle are all supplied, and there are two departures: 9 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. You have to book this well in advance if you are interested. The boat will only take 6 guests, so it usually fills up quickly.

How much is snorkeling rentals?
|
The cost is $25 per day for adults, and $10 for kids 10 and under. They also have a package deal that is $35 per day for the snorkeling equipment, the use of a float or the day and an hour bike ride. We purchased that, and the bike ride was quite fun.

Are there places on the island that are prohibited?
|
Yes, the majority of the island is not accessible by guests. When you arrive, you will notice that the only parts of the island that you can access are along the edges of two of the sides. There isn't much on the rest of the island, just some support buildings. Most of the people who work there actually live on neighboring islands. There is also an adults only beach, Serenity Bay. It was beautiful, and very uncrowded.

Can we go back onboard the ship during midday before our departure is due?
|
Yes, the boat is open all day long, at any port. Lunch is served on the island, so we had no reason to go back. We did head back about 15 minutes early, since it started to rain, but there weren't many people left on the island. Most everything is closed on the ship though, but they open back up around 5 PM.

Also, does anyone know what the weather/water temp. is down there around the end of March ?
|
My guess is that it will be in the mid 80's on the island, and the water temperature will be a little below that. In December, it was over 80 all day, and the water was a little cool, but still fine once you got in. The island is just beautiful, you can't imagine how nice everything is. There are also some shops on the island, as well as an extension of the Oceaneer club if you want some time without the kids. Just beware, Serenity Bay is a good 30 minutes walk from the kids club, and probably 20 minutes if you wait for the tram.
