Labadee - Quiet - Amiga Island?

[keishashadow]

We just did this a week ago. Yes, it may be a little overpriced, but when you consider how much it costs to do other "excursions" (activities) on Labadee, it wasn't that bad. We had a great time -- it was a getaway to a little paradise island. I will agree with the above that there isn't food, and you only get one included-drink out of it... and yes, the island could use a bit of a quick clean up.... but it was a fun 20-minute boat ride from the pier to the island; the island itself looked like a mini Gilligan's island -- tons of sand and water to swim in; we didn't partake in the bar beyond the included drink, but you could if you really want. We just relished in how serene and quiet it was (especially compared with the rest of Labadee, where we couldn't even find a spec of beach to put our towels and bags). We didn't try to snorkel around there -- it didn't seem like there was much around to see, but it was just a nice peaceful place to get away from the mobs of people.

 

We walked the entire little island. Again, yes, it could stand to have someone go around and clean up sadly discarded trash (whether it was left there by past visitors or washed ashore)... but there was lots of great shells, sand and water to walk around.

 

We had a great 2 hours.

 

Fact that a Drink is included aside, I just can't get past only having 2 hours on the beach. :o

 

Sounds like the work the transport around other tours but willing to bet if they offered a 4 or even hour one @ $100+; people would be tripping over themselves to book it.

Any recent comments / experience? Still trying to figure out if it is worth doing or not. Particularly re: Columbus Cove.
