CÔTE DES ARCADINS
Sharing the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic, Haiti is a captivating and mysterious country located in the heart of the Caribbean. French and Creole are the two official languages but, given the outside influences from nearby countries, English and Spanish are widely spoken. Since 400 years back, Haiti has been known as The Pearl of the Caribbean. It is also, famously, the first European colony ever to gain independence with the rebellion of former slave Toussaint-Louverture. This uprising set in motion the eradication of slavery, not only in Haiti, but subsequently in all former colonised nations. Through the hardship of recent years, the island is actively striving to regain its place in the sun as a fa-vourite tourist destination for the foreign traveler. In no small part, this is accomplished through the warmth and hospitality of the Haitians themselves, but the island has a lot more than that going for it. He-re, African roots mix with Colonial influences, French je ne sais quoi and modern Latin American accents to create a extravagantly dynamic historic and cultural heritage. Haiti is a country of sun, virgin beaches and turquoise tropical waters. But Haiti also exhibits a vibrant cultural amalgam as expressed in the irre-sistible musical fusion and world-renowned art scene, as well as colourful religious syncretism. Sugarcane production is a mainstay of the Haitian economy and the Barbancourt Distillery produces some of the most sought-after rum varieties in the world. Some of the best reefs in the Caribbean are located but a short distance from the pristinely lush coastline - for all the avid snorkelling and diving aficionados to explore. In short, Haiti is a place where you can totally immerse in adventure or just kick back and relax - a true tropical treasure island. Come discover the most exciting Caribbean island!

Haiti is, of course, located in the heart of the Caribbean Sea, and surrounded by world class dive spots.

There are pristine and colourful coral reefs a few miles offshore and these can be reached by boat. In Haiti’s tropical waters you will still see schools of a variety of tropical fish, moray eels, crabs, lobsters and the occasional spotted eagle ray, stingray, barracuda and reef shark. Haiti is also home to some of the largest elephant ear sponges in the world, as well as rare black coral - healthy reefs which have surprisingly eluded the coral bleaching that has affected other areas in the Caribbean. Given its extensive and nearly virgin coastline, one could spend years here searching out unchartered territory to explore underwater.
