Ships dock at a purpose-built pier on Eleuthera's southern tip. A long sun-exposed pier walk leads to the tram station, then a short ride delivers you to the main island area.
💡 Pro move: Golf carts on the pier are reserved for guests with mobility needs. Standard strollers and wheelchairs are permitted.
Disney Lookout Cay has a single dedicated pier, exclusively used by Disney Cruise Line ships.

Excursions range from snorkeling and kayaking the turquoise Bahamian waters to cultural island tours and premium private cabanas.

Check Disney Navigator App for times →Rent snorkel gear and explore the vibrant reef off the Family Beach. The waters around Eleuthera are warm, clear, and home to colorful fish and coral.
Find snorkel rental tours →A quieter, 18+ beach section with its own BBQ buffet, bar, and optional private cabanas. Expect uncrowded sands and ocean views away from the family activity areas.
Book Serenity Bay cabana →Family cabanas at Mabrika Cove and adults-only cabanas at Serenity Bay include shaded lounge areas, a stocked mini-fridge, and dedicated attendant service. Book far in advance — these sell out quickly.
Reserve a private cabana →Paddle the calm coves in a kayak or hang on for a laughing, splashing banana boat ride. Both launch from the main beach area and are ideal for families and groups.
Find watersports tours →Browse authentic Bahamian crafts, jewelry, and art from local vendors at this open-air market near the cultural center. Credit cards and USD accepted.
Visit the craft market →The island has designated paths connecting the tram hub, beaches, and cultural areas — manageable on foot, but distances add up fast in the Bahamian sun.
Walk from the tram arrival point at Mabrika Cove to the main Family Beach. Short and easy, passing the Rush Out Gush Out splash pad and Play-Play Pavilion en route.
🗺️ See full route in Maps →Continue past the Family Beach along the path to the adults-only Serenity Bay at the far end of the island. A pleasant walk with ocean views, ending at a quieter bar and beach.
