G Adventures, a small-group adventure travel company with a focus on sustainable travel, is introducing a tour in Haiti. The 10-day "Highlights of Haiti" trip aims to offer insight into the country's condition since a magnitude 7.0 earthquake nearly five years ago.
"It is ready for a certain type of traveler – the person who wants to get places first, that early adapter," said Jeff Russill, the vice president of innovation at G Adventures.
Highlights of this art-and-culture-heavy trip include meeting a voodoo priest and learning about the art and artifacts surrounding the religion; touring Port-au-Prince and Jacmel's art communities; traditional rum tastings; a cooking demonstration of local kasav flatbread; a visit to the Unesco World Heritage site Citadelle Laferrière; cliff diving; and cave exploring.
The company and its nonprofit, the Planeterra Foundation, worked closely with the Inter-American Development Bank in assessing Haiti's tourism potential and how tourist revenues can benefit the Haitian people.
G Adventures contracts with local suppliers, so money spent on the trip goes back to the communities, Mr. Russill said.
One day of the tour is spent visiting a nonprofit organization in Jacmel that teaches art to street children while offering them meals and shelter.
The tours, beginning in February 2015, are $2,499 per person, including on-island transportation, standard hotels and some meals.
