It’s like Mother Nature oversaturated the water in Photoshop.
This is Disney’s second island destination in the Bahamas.
Disney ships have sailed to Castaway Cay for over 20 years.
Unlike Castaway Cay, Lookout Cay is on Eleuthera.
We went on a three-day cruise.
I think we’re cruise people now?
We docked at Lookout Cay the morning of the second day on the cruise.
There was so much to do and see (and drink)!
This is a spiked Dole Whip.
It was off to a rocky start.
Once we left the gangway, we had to trek down a long pier to the island.
When I think of the Caribbean, I think of that color of water.
I had no idea it was really like that and not just an artistic interpretation.
The islands small marina was also designed to support a healthy marine environment."
IDK why, but the term “fish highway” is so gosh darn cute to me.
The shop with coffee and smoothies was called Mangroves and Go, and it had EDIBLE STRAWS.
I had a full-on interview with the barista because they fascinated me.
They came in lime or coffee flavors, felt like bamboo, and tasted like white chocolate.
All of the drinks come in reusable metal cups, too.
When we arrived, we were totally transported to vacation mode.
We walked over when Rush: A Junkanoo Celebration was going on.
Junkanoo is a Bahamian festival with lively music, dancing, and magnificent costumes.
Donald Duck danced so much, he broke a sweat!
The things we did eat, like vegetable curry, fresh fruit, and plantains were very good.
I was excited to take my son to the splash zone.
It had little fountains and there wasn’t anything that could dump on his head.
It was breathtakingly vibrant reef full of coral and tropical fish.
Just like that, our time on the island was up!
We started making our way to the tram, but not before a stop at the gift shop.
There was so much to do at Lookout Cay, we couldn’t fit it all in.
I did appreciate Disney’s environmentality.
It felt really authentic.
I just stepped off a boat and I was there!
