Best time to visit Haiti

This beautiful Caribbean destination experiences a tropical climate. Haiti commonly experiences high temperatures and humidity which can be felt throughout the year. The dry season (November – March) is considered the best time to visit. It is ideal for sightseeing and venturing through the cities, including Port-au-Prince, Jacmel and Cap-Haïtien. Visitors can attend some incredible festivals during the dry months. Fet Gédé Vodou, which takes place on November 1st, is similar to the “Day of the Dead”. Tourists can also attend Le Festival du Rhum in November which explores Haiti’s most prized export, rum. Partake in rum tastings, workshops and cooking demonstrations. Music enthusiasts can experience the annual Port-au-Prince International Jazz Festival in late January. During the low season (April – June), visitors are advised to travel to the north of the island, as there is a decrease in rainfall. It is best to avoid the capital city, Port-au-Prince, during May – it is the wettest month. Cheap flights and accommodation can be found during the months of August to October, as it is the peak hurricane season.
