About this trip

Join Haitian Nomad on a beautiful trip to one of Haiti's most paradise islands! Île-à-Vache, (also expressed Île-à-Vaches, former Spanish name Isla Vaca; all translate to Cow Island) is a Caribbean island, one of Haiti's satellite islands. It lies in the Baie de Cayes about 6.5 miles (10.5 km) off the coast of the country's southwest peninsula, roughly between the town of Les Cayes and Pointe l'Abacou. It was formerly known by the name of Abacca. Administratively, it became a commune in 1976 as part of the Les Cayes Arrondissement in the Sud department.

Île-à-Vache was claimed by the Spanish Empire in 1492 as part of Hispaniola, and for the next two centuries it was known by the name Isla Vaca. In 1697 the island of Hispaniola was formally divided between Spain and France in the Treaty of Ryswick which ended the Nine Years War. France assumed control of the western half of Hispaniola and named it Saint-Domingue, and Isla Vaca took on its current name, Île-à-Vache.


On this trip, you'll be staying on the island's best beachside resort with some rooms directly on the beach , you'll enjoy some amazing views and indulge in some amazing Haitian food.

It was another EPIC, EDUCATIONAL UNOFICIAL HAITIAN NOMAD GIRLS TRIP EXPERIENCE! Our Ambassador Dr. Toi Washington-Simon is an excellent fun hostess. We were greeted with a beautiful bunch of roses and our farewell gift was a beautiful Maasai Mara Shuka.. She's also a very creative story creator and teller. IYKYK 😆 🤣 😂 In Zanzibar our tour guides Steven and Steven were excellent. Our visit with the Mamas of Zanzibar was a great cultural immersion experience. We got dressed up in their traditional wear and went to the market to buy our ingredients to cook our lunch. This experience was reminiscent of going to the market with my grandmother on Saturday mornings. The food was delicious. Swimming with the tortoises was an EPIC experience. Kenya was another EPIC adventure. Feeding the giraffes, elephants and going to the safari were excellent experiences. Visiting the Maasa Mara was a very educational cultural experience. Watching them jump and learning their History was fascinating. Getting a chance to Jump with them was a dream come through. Our tour guide uncle George is a natural comedian. 😆 🤣 😂. He and his staff are excellent tour guides. I stayed for 2 extra days after the group left and Ben, who works with the company took me on a very interesting and educational tour of Nairobi. I even had the opportunity to dance in the Bomas Of Kenya Auditorium. That's the venue where the winner of the presidential election in Kenya is declared I also visited the Homestead there. Very interesting and educational. As always our accommodations were Top Tier and it was a fun group of sisters. If you want a really GREAT, EPIC, EDUCATIONAL, CULTURAL, IMMERSION EXPERIENCE BOOK YOUR NEXT VACATION, ADVENTURE EXPERIENCE WITH HAITIAN NOMAD. ASAP! See you soon.

My favorite memory was when I celebrated my 50th birthday all year. During this year, I experienced my first trip to Haiti and Saut-d'eau. I got no picture to share. 🚫 This was a spiritual voyage for me, but I didn’t know it until I experienced it. This trip was also a highlight of my life. Thank you HNM! Congratulations on your success! Donna Marie

My trip to the Amalfi Coast with Haitian Nomad was beyond Excellent. Haitian Nomad exceeded my expectations in quality, organization, and leadership. Richard's leadership qualities and abilities are what you look for when hiring a company hosting trips all over the world with over 20+ participants at one time. The Amalfi Coast was my first trip this past June - and it won't be my last. I enjoyed everything from the beginning - all the way to the end. The accommodations and comradery was great. I have to say that I have met some amazing people that I will continue to build a relationship with. Do not hesitate..... choose a destination and give Haitian Nomad a try..... Happy Traveling.

Let me start off with saying I had a ball on the trip. Toi was the best ambassador she had everything planned out for us. It was a trip that was well needed and I was glad that I took the chance to go half way around the world and I had a blast. Toi gets 200 stars she was the best. I would go on another trip as long as Toi is the ambassador. Toi thank you so much for showing up and showing out the best. I had a blast.
