Haiti is an island in the Caribbean, sharing the island with the Domincan Republic with the Caribbean Sea in the south and the Atlantic Ocean in the north. Haiti has a rich culture and is often considered to be a hidden gem of the Caribbean. Albeit the country's reputation for poverty and dangerous cities, Haiti's resort areas and major cities are safe enough for tourists, with the help of a guide. The language of Haiti is Creole and few people outside of the resorts speak English. Haiti experiences regular intense storms from June-November, making December-April the ideal times to visit when temperatures are in the 70's and 80's Fahrenheit and rain is minimal.

Cities in Haiti range from resort villages to large, crowded cities. Port-au-Prince is Haiti's largest city and also the country's capital.

Ila a Vache is small island off the coast and is home to many resorts. Another resort city is Labadee, which is an entirely fenced off area that has its own personal port for cruise ships. Finally, there is Petionville, a high end suburb or Port-au-Prince and considered much safer than the city center.

Haiti offers gorgeous beaches where you can enjoy a swim in the cool waters, waterskiing, jet skiing, or just relax on the sand. For more swimming opportunities, check out the Bassin Bleu in the city if Jacmel where you can swim in the bright blue water and under the beautiful waterfall there.

You can take a taxi from the airport to your destination or arrange for a shuttle bus from your hotel to pick you up.
