Horseback Riding in Milot, Outside of Cap- Haitien
soloexit Says: The Northern side of Haiti is my personal favorite when in Haiti. The great beaches like Cormier Plage, and Labadee are surreal. Visiting Milot is a must just for the scenery and horseback riding up to the Citadel. When in Milot you get the real peaceful feeling of the...
dunearn20 Says: In Cap everything has its time and people are less stressed than in Port-au-Prince. There is also more space.
dunearn20 Says: Unfortunately those houses wich are still there are in a very bad condition, but compared to PaP still a nice change. Much older than in the capital and more the spanish style as in Cuba.

Cormier Plage: Excellent seafood lunch
NedHopkins Says: The restaurant attached to the Cormier Plage hotel is a popular spot for the elite of Cap Haitien to have lunch. Tables are outside, on the beach. Service is excellent. Soft drinks and Prestige beer are available.At our lunch, we watched a little green parrot walk almost the...
Restaurant of the Hotel Mont...
Kisu Says: Restaurant of the Hotel Mont Jolie. There's a beutiful view from the terrace to the sea and the city of Cap-Haitien. Restaurant is pretty small but worth to have lunch there! Don't know the name of a meal I ate but there was good kreolian style beef with rice and vegetables...
dunearn20 Says: Had a very good Pizza at Banana, can recommend this typical old house with a small courtyard where you can sit outside. PIZZA
jadamscap Says: Hotel Roi Christophe's restaurantThe Christophe has a special feel that you will notice from the time you drive in. The building is a restored colonial building, and has local musicians performing at night for the entertainment of the guests. The food is excellent, the staff...
The best and almost only way...
Kisu Says: The best and almost only way to Cap-Haitien is arranged tourist tour by bus (or Caribian cruiser)...atleast I wouldn't rent a car there but you can always try local Tap-Tap buses, colourful and not really comfortable....all the streets are in bad condition and the traffic in...
dunearn20 Says: As the ride by car fron PaP takes about 8 hours it is better to pay USD 110,- for a return ticket with Caribinter and take the plane.
I would recommend air travel...
jadamscap Says: I would recommend air travel no matter where you are coming from, as the road from the Dominican border to the city is mostly unpaved, and the road from Port-au-Prince is precarious and in bad condition. (Flights from PAP to Cap range from 20 to 40 mins, travel by road takes...

Give a smile to Haitien people, you'll feel more comfortable.
Haitiens might be a little uncertain about tourists you can see it in their face and how they act but when you smile they always smile back...
These local spirit distillers in the picture quarantee that their products are drinkable...they do taste it and by the night they're all drunk...

Since the situation in Haiti remains unstable, it's not really a safe place to visit.
There happens kidnapping and robbery biut mainly in the capital Port au Prince. It's recommended to visit Haiti only with a guided group.
The borded was closed for visitors right after we returned due the unstable and violent situation. Fortunaly when they close the border it's only temporary....

If you go to Cap with the expectation to find a nice waterfront you will be disapointed, there is only a small stretch where you can walk and the bay hosts a few old ships which are rusting away in the sea...

The countryside in Haiti is very very poor...go to visit some local families in villages if possible and If you have some clothes, shoes, toys anything you don't need they'll be more than happy to get them!!

While the Bay of Cap-Haitien...
jadamscap Says: While the Bay of Cap-Haitien has become very muddy and dirty, and is not suitable for swimming since it is dominated by a seaport, Cap-Haitien is served by several very nice beach resorts. The best is Labadee, which accommodates cruise ships. The second best is Cormier...
Just like all islands in the...
piedleger Says: Just like all islands in the Caribbeans the beaches and weather are beautiful in the right period of the year. We were on a stopover from a cruise with Royal Caribbean on their own island, named Labadee. The island was very beautiful as were the beaches. Not much to see...
Kisu Says: Go to see the voodoo show....it's magical...though people in the village have arranged the show only for tourists(because the outsiders aren't allowed to see the real ritual) it's definitely worth to see!!Creole is spoken in Haiti. It's a bit like french and if you know some...
Must have been nice a long time ago
Cap is on the north coast of Haiti, close to the Dominican Republic. Not far are nice beaches.
Welcome to my Haiti pages!! We crossed the boarder in Dajabon from Dominican Republic and scenes really changed after that... The view is really poor and about 80% of the population are estimated to...
Cap-Haitien is a city of great contrasts, perhaps a microcosm of the entire country. Despite having an estimated population of around 700,000 people in the greater area, a small-town mentality...
Philomé Obin (1892-1986) was one of the two or three most influential of the "first generation" of Haitian painters. One of his sons was in Philomé's studio when I picked this painting up. He asked...
