Labadee Cruise Port

Labadee Overview

Labadee is a private resort area on Haiti’s north coast. Ships dock directly at the site. Most visitors choose beaches, the zipline, or a simple cabana day.

A Little History

The area was developed as a cruise destination decades ago, separated from nearby towns. Its current layout reflects beach zones, craft markets, and activity hubs. Political events rarely affect the resort since it’s isolated and secured.

Museums

No museums here. The focus is beaches and water activities.

• Tip: If craft markets feel crowded, loop back later; sellers rotate.

Major Parks and Attractions

Multiple beaches, a large zipline, alpine coaster, and water toys. Crowds move between zones but the farthest beaches stay quieter. Shade is limited in some areas.

Nearby Places (Easy Day Trips)

None. Ships keep guests inside the resort area.

Shopping

A fenced craft market sells handmade items. Prices vary widely.

• Note: Haggling is normal; carry small bills.

Food and Drink

Buffet areas open around midday. Drinks from bars. Expect simple barbecue plates, fruit, and pastries. Practical eating tips:

• Eat early if you want shorter lines.
• Hydrate; shade is limited.
