Destination:
Labadee

Cap-Haitian is situated on the north coast of Haiti between the Atlantic Ocean and the Morne du Cap. Its surroundings have a lot to offer including art galleries, museums and beautiful pristine beaches. About 20 minutes west of this metropolitan area lies the area called Labadee, a paradise of lush mountains and turquoise blue Atlantic Ocean. Labadee is bursting with history, bright crafts and colourful people, as well as some of the best beaches in the Caribbean. The internationally known beach of Labadee is being operated by Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, but the town of Labadie is a small fishing village called 'Habitation Labadie'. It is an eclectic mix of affluent hill-perched villas and traditional Haitian dwellings. Further west along the coast is the breathtaking Baie d'Acul, which is almost completely closed off to the ocean and resistant to any storm. Christopher Columbus used this bay as a shelter during his first voyage on the Santa Maria. Across the bay, many small islands and reefs complete the vista.
