LABADEE HAITI ZIPLINING

We made it to our first destination, Labadee, Haiti! Unreal how paradise can be found in a place where so much negativity has been unfolding over the years. If I didn’t know a bit of the background and history of Haiti, I would say this was the perfect destination island. Water was warm, clear, and beautiful which made this day just perfect!

With so many things to do there, Candice already had a game plan and we were trying to shake all the jitters off from what was our first stop of the day, Labadee Haiti zipline, stretching from the top of the mountain, over the beach, clear over to a landing zone across the bay. Biggest zipline I’ve ever seen!

SHAKE IT OFF

We walked up and down the bay trying to shake off the anxiety, but hey, I didn’t get my selfie stick, chest strap, and wrist strap for my camera for nothing! So LETS GO!

After a quick 5 minute instructional video about Labadee Haiti Zipline we were ready to start our drive up to the tower on top of the mountain. What are we waiting on?! C’MON LETS GO!

TO THE TOP

about 10 minutes later we arrived to the anxiously anticipated tower which overlooked the entire bay of Labadee, and it was AMAZING! Clear skies, awesome water, and perfect temperature, what more could we ask for.

TIME TO FLY

I’ve been on ziplines before, but never superman style flying right into what seem to be the bay below… Trying to figure out the best approach to get both the zimpline and Candice flying over the bay, I finally decided to wear the wrist strap with my action camera since the selfie stick was not allowed… 1, 2, 3, GO!

The footage doesn’t do justice to just how amazing the feeling and adrenaline rush were right at that moment. Anxiety turned to pure joy and excitement, and a short 45 seconds later, it was done. NOOOOOOOO!

The day was not over yet though and had plenty to do at this amazing place, including taking a well deserved nap at the beach.
