stleda124 Posted August 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 17, 2018 We are booking 2 excursions while in Labadee. The first is Dragon’s Breath Flight Line. It says 1 hr 15 min. From experience, is this accurate? We don’t want to book the second too close. TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyL128 Posted August 17, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 17, 2018 You do a safety video, gear fitting, a shop talk and then a sample “flight” before being buses up to the top for the “real thing”, so, yes, an hour or more for the whole experience. But WELL worth it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingNole Posted August 17, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Doesn't it cost like $100? NOT worth it. You can go on a full day tour for that much money at another port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyL128 Posted August 17, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 17, 2018 It’s a value proposition, one person’s experience cannot be measured in terms of dollars and cents. It was a great experience to us and we may never do it again. But, it was money well spent for us for the experience to enjoy together. That said, we have also done the Parasailing and wave runner too. We had a great time on Labadee every time we go there. Once, we just walked around, another time we just laid on the beach and swam. It doesn’t cost anything to just enjoy Labadee. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t ask if it was worth it. I’ve already decided that it is worth it. I want to know the duration of the excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved it and it was worth it to me! I would allow 1 1/2 hours just to be sure. You do a bunny jump to be sure you can do the long one. It is so awesome and I’ve done several.

A couple years ago I went sky diving that included a plane ride for 50.00 more..... As to OP's question - we did it mid-morning and I think it was close to 2 hours once all said and done. For a 45 second ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havingfun2010 Posted August 17, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 17, 2018 It's worth it for one time, and if you like certain thrills. Is a Pina Colada worth $12.00? No, but I will have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVHillbilly Posted August 17, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 17, 2018 We did it in April and I don't recall the exact time but it was pretty close to what we had planned. We did the Zip Line in the AM and did the Parasailing in the PM with shopping and lunch between. Both were amazing, no regrets. I think if you allow 2 hours start to finish you won't have any problems getting to the second event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sa182 Posted August 17, 2018 #10 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I would definitely allow at least an hour. They have you watch a safety video, practice on shorter lines, and ride up to the top. It is one of my favorite excursions I have ever done! If you have a GoPro or digital camera, I strongly suggest bringing it to the top for the breathtaking views. Just make sure you have a cord or something to hang it on on your wrist if you aren't adventurous enough to fly down one handed while holding it!

BNBR Posted August 17, 2018 #11 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Doesn't it cost like $100? NOT worth it. You can go on a full day tour for that much money at another port. A full day tour in the canopy is different than the massive over the water zip line. Different product. I would find the Dragon's Breath worth $100 for the experience, personally. I think it's overpriced, but supply/demand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovescats5 Posted August 18, 2018 #12 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Even at $100 it was more than worth it to see my 11 yr old granddaughter have the time of her life. She was ready to go again. I think it was the total 1 1/2 hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvis1209 Posted August 19, 2018 #15 Share Posted August 19, 2018 A humorous story. I was at Labadee with my lovely bride Priscilla. We were going to go on the Dragon Coaster. We waited in line for our turn. She was going to go ahead of me but I stopped her and told her, "No, let me go first." I knew what was going to happen! I went and had a very enjoyable ride. At the end there's a guy taking your picture as you come off. He took mine and then waited for the next rider, which was my wife. We waited and waited and finally there comes Priscilla around the corner with about 5 very angry riders behind her! (Priscilla doesn't like to go fast!) I just told her to take her stuff and not look back! I hope they gave those people another ride! Elvis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharktums Posted August 19, 2018 #16 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Usually shorter time duration if you go early in the morning. Less people in front of you, less weather delays, etc. If you're pressed for time book one of the earliest slots available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
