Choosing your car class

Considering the variety of landscapes and roads, we recommend a mid-size SUV for its balance between comfort and navigating challenging terrains. For city drives, compact cars are fuel-efficient and parking-friendly.

Driving norms and regulations

Remember, Haiti drives on the right-hand side, contrasting with left-hand traffic in the UK. Seat belts are a must, and it's recommended to avoid night drives due to visibility issues.

Experiencing Haiti’s beaches

Unwind on the beautiful sandy shores of Montrouis or adventure into the hidden gem of Anse à Pirogues, a beach untouched by mass tourism.

The season of joy – Carnaval

Experience the vibrant Haitian carnivals, especially the one in Jacmel, celebrated with compelling cultural performances and flamboyant parades.

At home among the remarkable

The people of Haiti are known for their warm hospitality and rich culture. Dive into the local cuisine with dishes like 'Griyo', a savoury pork dish that’s a local favourite!

Weather Patterns

The region of Ouest experiences a tropical climate, much different from the UK. The holiday period of December to March offers the most pleasant weather for travel.

Currency Guide

Haiti's official currency is the Haitian Gourde (G). Credit cards are widely accepted in cities and large towns, but in rural areas, cash is king.
