How to travel to haiti

by plane
​

Most major airlines fly to Haiti. Here's a list: 
  • Air France
  • American Airlines
  • Delta Airlines
  • Jet Blue
  • Spirit Airlines

Ticket prices vary and are often more expensive than flights to other islands. You can now fly directly to Cap Haitian - this beats driving or getting on small charter plane!

by cruise ship
​

Royal Caribbean has a private island in the north of Haiti called Labadee. It is a beautiful beach destination, and you can explore on excursions like fishing trips, zip line or even a visit to the historical site, the Citadel Laferrière.

My first experience in Haiti was on a Royal Caribbean cruise! That is when I fell in love with the island. Although you won't really see "The Real Haiti," you'll feel the warmth of Haiti's wonderful people. You will see beautiful art and eat delicious food!

We've never had a bad experience traveling to Haiti. Just like daily life or travel to other places, pay attention! Be aware of your surroundings and remember these tips: 
  • Don't post on social media when you're leaving for a trip. This is just a free advertisement for someone to "set you up." That said, in my opinion, most crimes are targeted and planned, rather than random.
  • Leave your cash at your hotel, except for what you'll need for the day.
  • Don't pull out your fancy camera or phone in a crowded area. You never want to look like a tourist.
  • Put your sim card in a cheap phone.
  • Put a copy of your passport in your luggage. ​And don't carry your passport around when you go out. You won't need it.
  • Have someone you trust to drive you around. If you don't know a driver, a travel agent can set you up with one. 
  • Take the hotel shuttle around town and to/from airport. Most hotels in Petionville have free shuttles within the city limits and to airport. 
  • Don't dress like a tourist :) Backpacks, sneakers and travel document necklaces scream tourist!
