[princessh]

What is there to do on the Island that is free? I have not been reading the best reviews about the Water park and Dragons breath water slide. I have 2 boys ages 12 and 20

Lay out on the beach. Eat the BBQ lunch. Swim.

One is shure CC members will give you direction to freebies. But when taking up a free option, one asks that you do make a donation to the earthquake charity fund. It could be tax deductable

 

This way all will benefit. :)

Other than the waterslide (slower than mud) by Columbus Cove, there really isn't anything. The least expensive we found was renting a kayak (not the excursion) for myself ands GS (12). $15 each, and we paddled around Nellie's Cove; Barefoot Bay; and Columbus Cove for about an hour. Then we snorkeled in Nellie's Bay for the rest of the afternoon.

It's a beach stop. It's also not an island but a private beach, in an isolated part of Haiti. It's just like going to any other beach, but much nicer! You have access to the ship all day. They bring the food off the ship, and you eat lunch on the beach. Lunch is also available on the ship. You can rent beach mats, and snorkel gear also. You can also shop (it's free if you don't buy). The water park is for kids, not adults, and serously doubt your 12 year old would not like it, unless, he doesn't like bounce houses on water. Dragons Breath is not a water slide. It's a zip line, and it's awesome, but expensive. They also have a "you control the speed" roller coaster. It's also would be fun for any 12 year old to do.

Anything you'd do at any beach, you can do here....it's a beach day! No need to spend money on the "excursions" they offer!

So it's one big beach just for the ship within walking distance?

No there are several different beaches on the peninsula, all within walking distance.

We haven't been there since July 2012, and it was free then.

What about shade? Can you rent a clamshell?

They have umbrellas for no extra charge.

[budisal]

Thank you. I don't bake well.

Do they still do the cultural dance exhibition in the small amphitheater near the covered market? I did this on my first stop to Labadee 6yrs and thought it was quite good. I've been many times since and didn't go looking for it. We usually make Labadee a beach stop...enjoy the buffet and use our drink package for Labadoozies. Renting a floating mat is a nominal expense and, if you enjoy hanging out in the water, is worth every cent.

Last April, we brought our own floats from home. Took a min or two to blow up, but I prefer the circle versus a mat. Plus it is cheaper, especially if everyone needs to have their own.

Used the blue clam shell last April. I would ask for a lounge under a big tree next time. Got very warm in the clam shell

[amiller2850]

Only thing free is lunch and beach. If you do one excursion do the coaster. He water slide is not worth paying for.

So not like Cococay where they charge you $20? Do they also dig the hole for you? :p

They stuck one in the ground for us. I think we tipped the attendant $5.

[OCruisers]

The beach, beach chairs, and buffet is at no additional cost. :)

It's best to take water shoes because it's a bit rocky in the water. ;)

Do any of you know how much it is to rent snorkel equipment?

[amiller2850]

Free if you take your own! [emoji6]
