A couple questions about cococay

[twinkle toes]

How long does it take to walk all the way around Cococay? Are there any critters (snakes, etc.) that you have to be careful of if you walk into the middle off of the beach? When do they usually bring the food off the boat to the island? Thanks.

We didn't walk around the island. We went as far as the kayak's. Its a small island.

 

We saw no snakes. We did run into a chicken and rooster. They wern't afraid of us.

 

They had everything set up for the lunch buffet at 11:00am. YUMMY

The trail is a couple of miles round trip. It's really beautiful, so walking slowly and stopping to take in the spectacular scenery, it's probably about a 45-60 minute walk.

 

Only critters we saw were the aforementioned chickens and some little gecko's and iguanas.

We walked around the island also and saw no snakes- just lots of birds including a peacock which must have been a pet. It's a beautiful little island.

We saw the peacock, the pea hen and a baby!! Oh, and TONS and TONS of hermit crabs. They were everywhere ..... some the size of baseballs!! It was a very nice walk

island supplies (food, etc.) off loaded prior to pax tendering, so by the time you arrive on island, they are ready 4 u. CoCo Cay remains a fav "port", even tho it's totally a contrived experience. we like to be on the 1st tender to go ashore and on the last to leave. we bring bug spray (for possible sand fleas), a cover up for swimming (sun will burn you to a crisp and tho some shade is available, in the water is so wonderful and that's where you can get burned. strap for your sunglasses and a hat that can get wet - snorkeling is good for those who like that, but the float mats are a good buy for the day! it's really a very delightful day (especially when the weather cooperates). beware that jellies are almost always about, year round, but are "in season" around September so you might want to pack your preferred jelly-remedy.

We've been swimming at CocoCay and at many beaches in the Bahamas and Caribbean, in April, and haven't seen any jellyfish. Is this the "low" season for jellyfish or were we just lucky?

[EmJakeBubbie]

only know about jelly season/September at CoCo Cay from my first hand observance and my "ouchy factor" . you might try google for your answer...

[suezyq50]

We have been to CocoCay 4 times and have never experienced jelly fish. Snorkel early in the day. You tend to see more than.

We did not see any snakes or wild beasts! Here is a map of the island and pictures we took last January. Map Pictures

Can I get floating mats while on CoCo Cay if I don't reserve them first? Or do I need to reserve them before we get there?

 

Not sure if we will use them or not.

[paradise08]

You do not need to reserve the floats. They have plenty of floats.

[Fun@C]

Do you have to reserve the slide before you board or can you pay for that at Coco cay? Does the slide hurt going down? Thanks:D

Your pictures are great!

 

CoCo Cay is by far one of my favorite places. I'm considering a 3 day cruise in January to go back, I enjoyed it so much! It's just a mellow stop, and one of my favorite memories is napping in the hammocks. They really did a great job setting up the area.

 

And I'll second the hermit crabs.. there were a ton!!
