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.

This was yet another amazing Haitian Nomad NYE trip! Singapore was beautiful and everything I dreamed it would be! From the Gardens by the Bay tour to the Dinner in the Dark experience at Nox everything was well organized and fun! The added excursion to Universal Studios for the VIP Experience was one of the best parts even though it poured rain most of the time we were there! We had great tour guides for every tour and Poiette was a great host! I truly appreciated how much care she put into making sure my wife could safely eat at every restaurant as she has a severe seafood/fish allergy and Singapore is very much a place that enjoys lots of seafood! The tours of the different ethnic areas of Singapore were very informative! Definitely one of my fav Haitian Nomad trips and we've been on many! And the vibe on this trip was amazing as it felt like it was a group of girlfriends traveling together! Thank you to Richard, Poiette, and the Haitian Nomad team for curating an unforgettable trip!

Where do I start?! Haitian Nomad NEVER disappoints! The trip to Singapore to ring in the New Year was beyond amazing. From start to finish, the itinerary was perfectly planned — even during monsoon season, we had non-stop fun without a single hiccup!
Our host, Poiette, was phenomenal. She kept the energy high, the vibes right, and made sure every moment was filled with laughter, connection, and unforgettable memories. The whole group uplifted and supported one another, creating a true sense of family.
If you haven’t been on a Haitian Nomad trip… what’s holding you back? We’re already repeat travelers, and trust me — once you go, you’ll be hooked. Can’t wait for the next adventure!

This was a wonderful trip and introduction to the culture of Puerto Rico. I really enjoyed and learned from the local tour guides. When our trip had to be cut a couple of days short due to weather, Richard made sure all of our flights were changed. I would definitely travel with Haitian Nomad again in the future. Great trip and customer service.

I had a wonderful travel experience with Haitian Nomad it far exceeded my expectations. The Haitian Nomad team was knowledgeable, informative and made everyone feel safe. The itinerary was well planned, and entertaining. I was blown away by the historic temples, monuments, Egyptian calligraphy and delicious foods. Both the hotel and riverboat cruise provided a cozy and inviting atmosphere, not to mention the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and gave exceptional service. I would highly recommend this Egypt trip. It was a great way to explore this area of the world!

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!

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.
