The ATMs only provide local currency (Haitian gourde). Credit cards are also often accepted. However, it is best to notify your bank before your trip to avoid declined transactions.

Official Language

Haiti’s official languages are Haitian Creole and French. English is also understood in centres of tourism.

Presence of Sargassum in Mexico and the Caribbean

Depending on the weather conditions, winds and tides may bring large quantities of Sargassum to shore. Since seaweed moves with the ocean currents, quantities may vary by place and day. Transat would like to inform its clients that this natural phenomenon beyond its control affects several parts of Mexico and the Caribbean. Although the presence of this brown seaweed is greater than usual, our hotel partners are making every effort to clean the beaches when necessary.
