The rate was reasonable, the knowledge of history was excellent, the food, and professionalism was fantastic. The staff felt like part of the group. They accompanied us at all times to ensure we felt safe and attended to. I will definitely revisit Haiti and utilize their services. See more..

4.5 Dragons Breath Zipline (456 reviews)
- A Zip Line Must
Zipline & Aerial Adventure Parks

Best zip line ever road. It was pricey for a one trip zip line but worth every penny. You will probably never get a chance to zip over the ocean like that. I do recommend you are in pretty good health though. The stop is a little abrupt. You need to watch others coming down prior to your experience so you can see what to expect. If you embrace it you will even enjoy the stop. Overall I would do it again as well as the roller coaster nestled right next to it. Please please please. If you are going to buy tickets for the Dragons roller coaster, buy an all day pass. For $10 more a person you can tide it all day and it is as fun as the zip line. See more..
4.5 The Citadelle (424 reviews) from $5.77
- Breathtaking history
Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks

Absolutely breathtaking. The road there is long but the natives helped me on a horse named Panama. Gave everyone 500 goudes each for the help ($6USD) my guide there was so knowledgeable and knew so much! The place is MASSIVE and absolutely beautiful See more..
4.5 Dragon's Tail Coaster (51 reviews)
- A great fun alpine coaster
Game & Entertainment Centers

Very enjoyable small alpine coaster, not as long as most of these type of alpine coasters, which is a shame because it doesn't last that long but great because it means you normally don't catch up with the car in front, so you can travel full speed for longer. Great views down to the ship and beach below. The all day pass is well worth it, we managed to have 10 rides each and it still gave us time to do everything else we wanted to in Labadee. See more..
4.5 National History Park - Citadel, Sans Souci, Ramiers (38 reviews)
- This is a magnificent site.
Historic Sites

This was a very good experience. Getting there is a little hectic but it's worth it. I never thought such sites even existed in the Caribbean. A must see. See more..
4.5 A Luxury Sailing Yacht Experience (32 reviews)
- Most beautiful and relaxing excursion ever!
Boat Tours

If you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing and visually beautiful excursion book this one!!! We booked our sailing for the morning session to avoid the chance of afternoon showers! Cannot even describe nature’s peace and beauty of sailing around the lush green mountainous, almost fiord-like settings—all onboard a 50 year-old wooden yacht. Our crew were incredibly chill and friendly. Below the bridge there is a women’s and men’s restroom area. We dove off the boat and swam up to a remote Gilligan’s-like island, had unlimited rum drinks (all sourced from Royal Caribbean) and tried to envision how Columbus and his sailors must have felt as they discovered this area. The best three hours spent EVER on an excursion.. worth every penny!! L❤️ved it!! See more..
4.5 Sans Souci Palace (20 reviews)
- The Royal Palace of Sans Souci
Castles

The Sans Souci Palace along with La Citadelle are two of the most outstanding sites in the Caribbean. Constructed under the orders of Henry Antoine he lived in the palace and, after suffering a stroke, committed suicide in one of its rooms. His body was removed in secret and interred somewhere in La Citadelle but no one knows precisely where. I had an official guide (they wear yellow T shirts with logo) who spoke excellent english. His name is Antoine and his phone is 33389324 or 36831058. There is $20 entry fee which covers both sites. See more..
4.5 Amiga Island (12 reviews)
- Your own private island
Spent 2-3 hours Islands

If you like the idea of being stranded on a private island with a boat and 30 other people, it’s fantastic the water is amazing. The shelves are the best shells I’ve ever seen. You can walk around the island and eight minutes and the views are out of this world. For the half day excursion, they were about 30 people from our ship, as well as about four or five employees that help to get us there and serve us drinks See more..

4.0 A Paradise Cove Escape and Haitian Village Experience (128 reviews)
- Stunning beach
Cultural Tours • Nature & Wildlife Tours

Our favorite excursion on our recent cruise. It is a private island, very clean, and beautiful. Could have stayed for days! Water was gorgeous! Beware though...you can purchase items cheaper in the port of call than from the ladies selling things there. My girls paid double for a doll than what was asked back in the port area. See more..
4.0 Cathedrale Notre Dame de Cap Haitien (76 reviews)
- Beautiful and lovely place. Almost empty and very tranquil.

I had the opportunity to stop, enter and view the inside and out. Very beautiful and serene place, well kept and with lovely stained glass windows. Wonderful experience and lovely to have such a nice cathedral in the middle of a busy part of Cap Haitian. See more..
4.0 Heros de Vertieres (17 reviews)
- A statue, no more
Historic Sites • Monuments & Statues

A large bronze statue that represents the heros of the liberation of Haïti. Located on a busy road, not much to visit around. Pretty dirty. See more..
4.0 Cathedrale de Milot (14 reviews)
- Beautiful piece of history
Religious Sites • Churches & Cathedrals

We have visited the cathedral before but the last time we were there was for the wedding of our good friends. So much history has been destroyed as the cathedral was extensively damaged in a fire last night, Easter Sunday 2020. I hope they are able to find out what happened and possibly rebuild the cathedral but unfortunately the dome was completely destroyed See more..
4.0 West Indies Holdings (11 reviews)

4.0 Discover Haiti Coastal Cruise (9 reviews)
- KAYAK FUN!
Boat Tours

We stopped at Labadee on a Celebrity cruise. I didn't expect much out of this port at all and was HAPPILY surprised! Celebrity brough all of the food and drink on shore so we knew it was good. We chose th kayak. I lasted almost 2 hours and was wonderful. Besides getting exercise, we had beautiful water and beaches, saw the village and fishing boats and had the best informational tour from our guide about their village, customs, growth and lifestyle. We still talk about it to everyone. We gave some of our t-shirts we brought as a giveaway and he was very thankful and happy about it. I couldn't figure out where to post the port itself so found the closes place. We would definitely go back on a stop. See more..

4.0 Petite Place De L'eglise (1 review)
- Nègre Marron sculpture
Friday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks

The Small Church Square is located opposite the St. Pierre catholic church. It is a park where one can relax and enjoy the surroundings. The centerpiece of the square is a sculpture of the Nègre Marron (Black Maroon). This is a replica of the famous sculpture in Port au Prince, which was done by Albert Mangonès. This sculpture is known worldwide and represents the freedom of slaves. The sculpture is also known as "the unknown slave". The slave is shown on bended knee with an abeng (conch shell) held in his left hand, and pressed to his lips. In his right hand, he holds a machete. On the left leg of the maroon is a broken shackle which represents his fight for freedom. The abeng was used as a means of communication during the slave rebellion. The sculpture represents the "call to rebellion" in 1791,when the slave revolt on the island began. At the base of the statue is an inscription of the year 1715. I was unsure what this represented, as this was 18 years after the French took over the western side of Hispaniola, but long before the first rebellions began. Behind this sculpture is a unfinished concrete structure. This area used to have a metal water tank, which was removed to facilitate the installation of the sculpture. To the rear of the square is a columnar structure where one can sit and get a break from the heat. After visiting this area, the church opposite is a great photo op. See more..
