Along the northern shores of Haiti is the action-packed port of Labadee. This pristine peninsula is a private resort leased by Royal Caribbean where they have built a huge arsenal of adrenaline-fueled activities for their cruising guests.
Tucked into the lush hills is an epic alpine coaster and the world’s longest flight line that takes you down to the calm turquoise waters 500 feet below. For those more interested in relaxing rather than rushing down a hill, Labadee Haiti has you covered too. Here is a full list of excursions and the best things to do in Labadee, Haiti.
Excursions and Things To Do In Labadee Haiti – Royal Caribbean’s Port
Rocket down the hill on the Dragon’s Tail Alpine Coaster in Labadee
Dragon’s Tail Coaster – Labadee’s Alpine Coaster
One of the most epic activities in Labadee is the Alpine coaster named the Dragons Tail Coaster. This gravity-powered two-person coaster is sure to get your heart pumping.
To start the ride a cable pulls your cart to the top of the hill high above the beaches, from there gravity does all the work. You can take the hill as fast or as slow as you want. Built-in brakes allow you to be as adventurous as you can handle – but we dare you not to push the brakes at all.
From 500 feet up to just inches above the water – the Dragon’s Breath Flight Line is a lot of fun
Dragon Breath Flight Line – The World’s Longest Overwater Zipline
From the beach, you can see what looks like a tiny building high in the hills on the northern side of Labadee but is really a large launch platform 500 feet above the beach for the Dragon’s Breath Flightline.
Strap into a harness that will carry you 2,600 feet from the hilltop all the way down to the beach at speeds up to 50 mph. You’ll soar over the treetops and alpine coaster track and then the line dips down toward the ocean so close you could almost get your toes wet in the surf.
