Walking Around Labadee

[cruiser2101]

How far is it to Dragon's Breath Point (and other points of interest) from the tender? We love to explore on foot. Are the trails just sand or are they paved? I want to make sure I have the right shoes.

It is not that far to anywhere in Labadee. There is also a little tram that takes you around. The trails were hard packed sand not paved and I had on water shoes and the walking was fine with them.

It's mostly hard-packed sand. Flip-flops are ok for walking around most places! I would think you could get from one end to the other in about 15-20 mins of slow ambling!

You can easily walk around the entire area in 20 minutes.

We walked around all day with no shoes--but flip flops will be fine.:o

I find the sand at Labadee a little course. For me it is too abrasive to walk very far barefoot. I have beach sandals from LL Bean that work beautifully there. (and Coco Cay, too.) You can get them wet if you want to wade a little in the water.

 

By the way, some above have said the sand is hard packed sand. Maybe the base of the sand is hard packed, but the top layer is quite loose and deep enough that it is easy to get sand in your shoes if you are wearing a typical closed jogging or walking shoe.

 

From the tender boat dock to Dragon's Breath Point is about a third of a mile, maybe a little more. It is a pleasant walk and lovely view. I hope you enjoy Labadee as much as we do.

On one of our trips there, the sand was very hot. We didn't get far in bare feet.

I agree. The trails can get uncomfortable if you aren't a person who normally goes walking bare foot.

I'm glad you asked that. There is also lunch served at the Dragon's point area correct?

It's worth the walk. There are plenty of great things to see and incredible shots of the ship from around the island. The paths are a mix of packed sand (some with loose sand on top) and rock paved paths. If you can be sure to head out to the end of the rock path by the zip line's ending platform. The sand was to hot to walk bare foot in June but sandals were fine.

Here this should help
