Thank you for sharing Haiti and Haitians beauty. I am Dominican and have never visited Haiti. I can’t wait until Haiti gets to be a place we can all visit. The Haitian people deserve to live in peace!
Gracias Reyes,
We hope that shall be happened some day 😊

Haiti is that kid everyone else can see his potential except for himself....too busy getting into trouble with a wave of misguided anger....smh
Thank you Reyes, that is the nicest thing ever
As everyone else does!
Visited Haiti as a child. It was the most scary place I’ve ever been. I’m 34 now. I was 7 then.
I love how u said Haiti would be a prime tourist spot if they can get out of the situation they're in. Haiti was once the prime tourist destination back in the 50's , 60's and 70's. This was before Bahamas and Jamaica. It was once known as the Black Pearl of the Antilles. My mom would tell me stories. I didn't go to Haiti until years after the earthquake since I was born in the States. I fell in love with Haiti 🇭🇹. I'm so sad for the kidnappings and violence taking place in Port au Prince. 😪 I wish u went to Haiti during better times. I'm happy u both were able to make it out ok. Thank u Jesus Christ 🙏🏾
Why has the situation deteriated to the extent that it has? Are there any solutions to the problems.
The Clinton went there on their honeymoon.
Amen!!
How they gonna get out of the situation your 🇺🇸 goons put them into. 🇺🇸 has had its knees on haiti's neck since 1915 and they continue to make it worst cos any prosperous black nations is a threat to all white countries especially the 🇺🇸 and that's why they can't leave Haiti alone 🤨
@@lindagibson744 Yes! If a nation wants peace. Seek peace first and don’t go around killing your President.
My dad is an OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker) that is currently based in Port Au, Prince, Haiti. He’s been there for almost over 25 years now.
@Jenny Lee bcuz he wants.
Well his is technically Haitian by now 🙂
My beautiful homeland is like the ashes of the Phoenix. It shall rise again one day.
Thank you for sharing what so many others chose not to. One Love 💞🤗
Mais oui. Of course. One love 🙂 always ✌😇
@@Lu-kw8vw One Love!💞
I love how you guys took us through every moment so detailed! I’m glad you guys are safe and let the world know there are more sides of Haiti then what the media would like to portray
Exactly!!
Facts 👍
Thank you so much, Oskar and Dan, for choosing to visit Haiti, La Perle des Antilles! I appreciate your honest views, open-mindedness, and the love you showed Haiti and its people, especially Serge and Edner, your guides! You spoke the truth about our country and your kind word, compliments, and promotion of Tourism in Haiti are very much appreciated! May God continue to bless you both! Wishing you continued happy, enjoyable, and safe trips around the world! Much love!
Fear not! Haitians use machetes for farming. Same throughout latin America and Caribbean basin.
A lot of "blancs" are taking (purchasing ??) their land to put NGO's. Maybe that's why he tried so scare them with his machete.
Haiti is a wonderful place
😊🙏🏽🏝
Haitians
Behave hostile towards those who would be hostile towards them (or who would be disregarding of them and their plight on their own home turf ...)
Haiti is such a beautiful country….. so sad more people don’t know that…. 💪🏻
Not very safe tho😥

I am fascinated by Haiti. I have never been there, but I want to visit when the pandemic is under control and the security situation improves. Meanwhile, I have a few options for taking in Haitian culture here in Paris. I like your channel and have subscribed.
Now seems like a great time!
@@smhdpt12 no it's not lol
You will enjoy it. Can’t wait for you to go.
Honestly Haiti there was fun it was my first time going there the beaches were beautiful there was this restaurant on a beach and stuff the food there is good and the mountains were very big I did not know that haiti had mountains the first time I was there
Thanks for visiting our country.I appreciate both of your videos about 🇭🇹. I can feel all your emotions and I laugh so hard literally. Like you said Haiti is a raw diamond I can't wait to see it shines ✨ . Watching and sharing it from the mountains ⛰ 🇭🇹
M mouri frèt. It was the nèg banan pou mwen 😭
Can you do something to help?
@@gennisparry4352 who in power need to help. Stop the corruption
@@carlineduverne1108 yes I agree, we are all Caribbean people.
I am from Barbados and we know that all blacks owe 🇭🇹 . thanks for making it out of slavery. Now they are being punished for it by the world . I love and respect you and thank you for all you have done for us.
Wow... that was so sweet of you Sonja.
🙏✌❤🇭🇹👍
Thanks for sharing this video with a positive perceptive on Haiti. Praise the Lord you all made back home safely. I hope when Haiti returns to normal, you can go back to really enjoy visiting Jacmel to the fullest. The high mountains & beaches will take your breath away. I can't wait myself to visit my father's birth place. ❤🌹❤🇭🇹👍
The world ain’t punishing them. Those people punish themselves
@@volooooo how?
By the world?
Thank you so much I'm haitian🇭🇹 from Port-au-Prince. Hope all the haitians see this video cause they only want to share the bad things.
Next time, guys, make it to Cap Haitian. It is more beautiful than what you had seen in Ayiti. Thank you for sharing other part of Ayiti to the world.
People like you can make a difference. You can can see beyond what others cannot. I thank you guys for this wonderful video about Haiti and I hope to see from you another video of Haiti in the future.
Thanks for sharing two videos about Haiti. I am Canadian with haitian origin. Haiti is a beautiful country to visit. You are very courageous to travel to such an agitated country. Even the President of Haiti was assassinated lately. It is not safe to travel to this country.
Check this guy out if you wanna see more of Haiti ..

Hallo Haiti, love from Indonesia. The vlog is great 👍 ♥️👨👩👧👦🇮🇩
Love you!!!
Im praying God to change the situation of haiti, so i can go back in my country with kids who never traveled there. I miss my country so much, the food, the beauty of the landscaping, and everything about this country.😭
That's is key, turning to God. Let us pray for Haiti.
Getting emotional watching this😩
Thank you for sharing a glimpse of the beauty that we have in Haiti 🇭🇹.
You guys are great! I hope and pray that Haiti’s security situation gets better soon and you two can come back ❤️🇭🇹
Oskar and Dan. Wow! What a two series experience of Haiti. I have friends that have worked there to try and help and both left due to the 'problems'. What an amazing country and so full of potential. First off, I am glad you guys are out of Haiti and safe and well - you were very brave! But, what makes your journey special, is showing the real side of the island and its people. And as you say at the end 'it is a diamond'. Lets hope greed, and all the rest of the problems there by a select few, that destroy it for all, will one day be in the past and the Haitian people can really start to deserve the life they so rightly should have. As a coincidence, I met a delivery guy in my buildings elevator this week and obviously being a 'gringo' living in Brazil he asked me if I was French. I said not and we spoke in Portuguese and he that he was from Haiti. I told him of your first video and how amazed I was bout the country and he was so happy and tearful :(( that he had had to leave. Well done guys for honest reporting but also, to leave a message of positivity of what Haiti will one day become x
Thank you so much for sharing this Phil! Glad you enjoyed the series🙏✨
Im convinced that there are many undiscovered beautiful places in the world (people and landscape wise), which are hidden from tourism out of political reasons and safety issues. It's amazing to watch guys like you share your adventures and your uncensored impressions. With two little kids at home, such experiences seem far away at the moment. Thank's to the RUclips community I get my regular adventure dose here 😉.
Thumbs up for your amazing videos guys!
Nice to see Haiti like not many people do! Thanks for the video. Glad you're all well and safe. The landscape looks gorgeous.
Thanks for watching!
The funny thing! I grow up knowing the guide . He use to be friend with my family 😀😀😅😅 I haven’t seen him for more then 10 years wow
“A diamond in the rough” nice way to put it.
Your courage is amazing. We so appreciate your filming during such dangerous circumstances.
It is a privilege to see this country up close!
Superb video chaps, thank you. It's such a spectacular place which deserves so much better after hundreds of years of utter horror. I hope for a better future for the country and especially the people.
Yes!
What a beautiful spectacular place! I reeeeeally want to go! Prayers for this country and it's people! Great vid guys!
Wow! Great you documented this before the dramatic event of last night that makes every recent video involving Haiti come up.
They know port au prince ,is haiti ,there is the beautifull cities in haiti,Fort liberté,cap haitien,jacmel,cayes,jeremie,hinche
port- au prince is the capital in all the other part you talking about is a island
Thanks for the insights to Haïti.
While in terms of safety these days you can't make a proper comparison but the contrast between Port-au-Prince and Jacmel reminds me of the difference between Nairobi and Lamu. Same country, different regional mentalities and look and feel.
Big cities in many parts of the world bear their own challenges while the hinterland can be a complete contrast.
i’m sorry you couldn’t enjoy the beauty of Haiti all the way, i’m so sad for my country and the state it’s in right now :(
agreed.
Are you serious, they couldn´t enjoy, that is the most excited journed that they perhaps never had, the had story to tell to their family even to their sons for a long time.
@@baltazarreyes6076 they were in fear most of the time. that is not the type of excitement they were looking for. this situation will CRUSH the tourism market in haiti.
@@KevinP32270 Are you serious, when you said this is not of the type of excitement perhaps not, but they were aware and also notified about what was happening there. I don´t think that can crush the tourism market, haitian tourism market has always crush, Haiti can also bet for somethin like dark tourism.
😂😂😂😂😂 beauti😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
loved your closing message!! thank you for sharing and taking the thrilling ride to visit our country
Thank you for having us🙏
Hello there. Just wanna say I am in awe of your adventurous journey to Haiti. I was there in Haiti back at the start of 2010 on a mission trip for the earthquake that happened helping to build homes in Cite Soliel. I was the oddball because alot of the Haitian people had never seen a U.S. black American before who mostly spoke English. But yes, the situation was beyond horrible. For example, our team could only get clean water from a well we had to hike to about 2 miles away while being surrounded by security. Wont even go into showering/hygiene issues and constant gunshots. I will say that one thing Haiti should do is to invest in bringing back more forests since Haiti has lost the majority of its forests since 1980s due to illegal logging and indiscriminate banana/coconut palm plantations. Investing in more green space, bringing back indigenous species, and more environmental protection will not increase tourism but build their economy closer to the level of the Dominican Republic.
Thank you guys for giving hope! love y'all!
Thank you Daniel🙏❣️
I have Haiti on my list of destinations. But scared to take the trip. Your guide Serge seems like a really nice person. Thanks for this informative compilation.
what's stop you.
I miss Jacmel bad . I wish there was an airport that goes directly there . I’m Haitian American and I’m terrified of being kidnapped when I go back . Considering the news today this vlog made me happy 😊. Great content ❤️
Wow am an African from Nigeria always saw Haiti on TV and internet very poor dirty place people suffering and all that never seen this beauty on internet thank u so much for sharing mom is taking us on holiday I guess I am going to choose Haiti love u Haiti from Nigeria 😍🇳🇬
Hi @ Valarie kinging : Two weeks ago you wrote " mom is taking us on holiday I guess I am going to choose Haiti love u Haiti from Nigeria. "
Thanks for your love, and your interest in visiting Haiti, Valarie ! Your message projects youthfulness. Therefore, consider the following advice from old me : If you are a minor child, please have your parents and other mature adults in your entourage check out the recent very troubling news about Haïti before reserving your flights across the Atlantic Ocean !
The current situation there might be emotionally and physically much more troubling than the aftermath of an earthquake ! Therefore, IT'S NOT AT ALL A GOOD IDEA TO TRAVEL THERE in the near future !!! Perhaps, not until 2023 , God willing ! Please PRAY for His Grace !
Best regards to you, your Mom, and your entire family! Keep safe from the COVID-19 virus variants !

Yesssss!! Good job guys ! I love Haiti ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love my country more than anything 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹
Thank you Oscar & Dan for sharing the beauty of my country. Born in Haïti, I grew up there and the United States and now unable to retire there because of the insecurity……
I am also grateful to see a side of Haïti which I will never get to experience.
People must see this side of Haiti more often
Guys Honestly, the English woman just may have saved your lives. It was a smart move to hike through the mountains of Furcy and Kenscoff. She is exactly right when she said it’s the worst it’s ever been in a long long time.
I know because we live in Haiti part time and my wife is Haitian. You guys are very lucky.
Hopefully Haiti will get back to better days.
Oh and everyone in the country carries a machete. Lol
Lol, actually we requested to hike😂 Yes, hoping for a better future for Haiti❤️
I’ve always wanted to hike this trail, thanks for your honesty and sharing the beauty of 🇭🇹. Maybe someday you could come visit us at our beautiful home in Jeremie Haiti.
@@Ragski69 Excuse me, but actually, I'm Haitian, living in Haiti and I don't carry any machete... 🤷🏾♀️
@@titato_istwa My apologies, I did say lol, but you are correct.
Glad you made it out ok, you could have also flown to Port-au-Prince for a few $100
Haiti 🇭🇹 will be restored. Next you will have a better experience. God bless you keep up the good work
Thank you for making me feel even more proud to be Haitian American.
Thanks so much for sharing this video. With all of the negative things that have happened to that country it is nice to see more positive experiences.
Hejsan! The walk across the mountains is iconic and one that people in Haiti dream of doing.... I did the hike from Furcy high above Port-au-Prince to Jacmel some twenty years ago with a friend, At the time, there was no road going from Furcy to the top at Seguin, just a narrow trail - and we were the only two whities walking on the crests of the mountains, winding our way up. The hike took us two days, one day walking up, one day walking down. with a stop overnight at a small hotel at the top. You guys took the passable road in the other direction, from the villages near Jacmel, up to the top, before you started hiking down - that's the easy part!! Long story. What I'm missing in your description of your hike is just a little info about the mountains you were hiking through - the top is an exceptional nature reserve and it's absolutely eerie and surreal to be there among the giant ferns and the tall pines. And I think you're a bit harsh on the tour operator. I've used her services several times, her drivers and guides are impeccable, her vehicles safe, and I don't think you can blame the lady for warning you against kidnappings and other dangers. It IS potentially dangerous to be in Haiti - especially as a white tourist - but the locals are also very exposed. So one should never, ever take security warnings lightly. That said, go to Haiti, meet the people and reverse the pictures from the media - you'll love it!!! Ayiti rete nan kè mwen!
Haitian women r very beautiful ❤️💚💛
Haïti beautiful
THANKS OSCAR AND DAN. LOVELY JOB. WELL DONE!!🎇
Such a great video guys, thanks for sharing!
Sooo excruciatingly beautiful and exciting!!! This may be the most exhilarating adventure I've ever had vis a vis RUclips with Oskar and Dan. I have always had a passion and empathy for this challenged little nation. Now you have inspired me to tune in to Haitian current events and aspire to visit this breathtaking land. Please don't lose Serges contact info.
Love you both dearly.
Great video, guys. You're two pretty brave dudes.
Hi guys I enjoyed the Haiti blogs - my husband and I visited Haiti in the early 70’s stayed at the Grand Hotel Oloffson - it was magnificent at the time
owned by a ex US football player Al Seitz - I have many stories (Papa Doc REIGN ) - the place hasn’t changed much - beautiful countryside but horrid political / governmental
Corruption- two girls were raped at the hotel by a high government official while we were there. Nothing could be done. We acquired lots of artwork - some now valuable
Again many stories - glad you made it out safely.
Serge is your guardian angel
The Vlog is great. Wish you would do another. Even a third Vlog with you both just talking about this trip would be interesting. Thanks.
That’s a great hike to do. Did she mention it’s easy to get a quick 15 minute flight from Jacmel to Port-au-Prince?
She didn’t mention that at all😦
@@OskarandDan Yikes. Sorry!
I was thinking about the same thing
Can’t wait to go! My dad is Haitian, and I have always embraced the culture (He didn’t)… wanna show myself and my kids tht part of us at some point!
Edit: my dad and his fam are for Port de Paix
I grew up with Haitian friends in NYC and they are some of the most loving and hospitable people you will ever meet. Haiti's culture, history and natural beauty have always fascinated me. What we are now seeing in Haiti is the result of centuries of Western colonialism (pulling resources out of the country) and then leaving it in the hands of corrupt government officials who hoard those resources for themselves.When the people have little to no opportunity for economic advancement and stability in their own personal lives, they turn on each other, creating an endless cycle of violence, terrorism and fear. It's all systematic destruction. When foreigners come in having more opportunity ( no fault of their own) it can cause a negative reaction towards those foreigners. I keep Haiti in my prayers. Thank you two for being brave hearts by going in and showing us this undervalued country. I'm happy you made it out. Great job! guys! ❤️🌈💯 (Liked and Subscribed)
Ah yes, the blame game. It's so easy and fun! Just blame all your problems on others and then you can just sit back and watch! It's the best game because you always win!!
I don't believe you. This is typical in any other similar country. Give me an example where I'm wrong
Sounds like your tour guide scared you. I love hearing that Haiti is a diamond in-the ruff♥️♥️♥️ hope you get to return to visit other beautiful places there.
Those mountain views are STUNNING! Thank you so much for sharing! Safe travels as you continue globe-hopping!
Outside of p.a.p haiti is a wonderland i promise u THAT its an adventure and a paradise.
What a wonderful video!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience of Haiti! We love you showed the true essence and beauty of Haiti and the great possibilities that could be for this country!
Wow - how wonderful that you got to hike through those montagnes avec Serge. Yes - me and my daughter were also threatened with a knife in a Cape Town street, but luckily were rescued by brave men who literally did their karate thing. I froze with fear. Sad that Port au Prince looks so bad, but magnifique vistas over the ocean. One day - but not in my lifetime. Greetings from Egoli, Mzansi.
Oh god! Glad you guys were rescued🙏
I fall on this video ,first let me think you guys for this great job,you put a big spotlight on my country,this documentary its very special for us,b ecause you show the beauty maybe that the world had never seen before, thx a lot for your love🙏🏾🇭🇹 HAÏTI
A place of my heart ❤ First visit was 2012 to see how I could help some folks still affected by the earthquake and fell in love with the place and the people. Out of all my travels, Haiti stole my heart and I've been going since, doing my little charity work trying to reach some forgotten folks who are still struggling after the earthquake. Now doing work from a distance with boots on the ground. Can't wait for things to get better to start going again. Thank you for being real about Haiti. It could be a Prime tourist destination if they can get it together and curb the crime. Would love to take m family and friends for a visit.
She might have scared you but it’s better to know the truth then being killed !
The natural beauty of the Haiti is stunning! I’ve never even knew myself of its beauty. 🥺🤩 Wishing it could recover and grow exponentially through its infrastructure and economy soon enough. Let’s hope! 🥰❤️✨
Amazing vlog as always
Haiti has been really bad right now, but I’m Haiti people like you guys actually show the beautiful parts of my country 🇭🇹🥰
She was concerned about your safety
Thanks 🙏🏿 you two guys very much. Bring more eyes to that beautiful place we call Haiti 🇭🇹
😲 wow, Haiti and Jamaica... Beautiful places on Planet Earth.
Some friends from my church and the Colorado Haiti Project had just left Port au Prince for Petit Trip de Nippes when the earthquake destroyed the hotel where they had slept the night before.
Oh my god😨
Thanks for sharing this! Quick question, why no blog about your time on Dominican Republic?
We might be sharing something soon, but we didn’t get as much footage from there unfortunately!
In my experience when some local people tell you about something dangerous in another part of their country it is often in reality not as bad while other things are worse, the best way to get through such situations is if you can find locals who travel a lot, because they have the actual first hand experience, for example i had a similar situation in Honduras when it was so bad there in 2014, i had a mostly good experience in the three weeks i´ve been there and keept relatively safe by not seeming as a rich tourist, havin rough, worn and dirty cloth and equipment as well as not taking the tourist busses but the cheapest local busses was key for me there and ofc. speaking some spanish.
next time take the airplanes to visit the small cities you will have an amazing vacation
Thank you for taking me with you....I left Haïti 56 years ago. This is not the country I use to know...still beautiful but chaotic .God bless this country 🙏
My family is from Trinidad and it’s not this bad but still a bit sketchy to visit. Lots of barbed wire and broken glass glued to the top of walls. Very sad, but still cool to check out.
Stop that as a Jamaican i can come to Trinidad and Tobago defense it's nothing like haiti
I have anxiety from just watching this honestly. I do thank you for showing the beauty of Haiti.
I hope Serge was given a really good tip for all the help he gave.
It is leased by Royal Caribbean no body owned it . It is Cap Haitian for your information.who ever said Royal Caribbean is the owner
Do you guys have any recommendations for tour guides? Is Serge available? I’m thinking about taking a trip this weekend to Haiti. Thanks!
There’s a link to Serge’s page in the video description!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! Haiti is beautiful 😍 ❤ ♥. We're definitely waiting for this raw diamond to start shining ✨ 💖 😍 Haiti 🇭🇹.
Good Job, Oskar and Dan!, love you guys, nice video, thanks for promoting my country!!!
My heart is also on a roller coaster as your guys' story rolls out. 😹 safe and sound is everything!
Thank you for this video. Keep up the great work
Oskar and Dan,Thanks for sharing this amazing video of Haiti
A big "THANK YOU"!
Great, great video. Part I was also great. Would love to visit Haiti- never been- and go up into the mountains and see the turquoise waters. Haiti is beautiful nature adventure.
Yeah Jacmel is one of the prettiest cities in Haiti but Cap Haitien and Petion ville are the top best cities in Haiti but tourists mostly go to Labadie because of the royal carrebean
thank goodness you went somewhere else other than the capitol!!!! THIS is the Haiti we know and love, thank you for sharing.
We traveled to Haiti on a cruise in 2017, a few months after a devastating hurricane. The ship had a port on the north of the island that was pretty much just used for cruise ships and passengers. We didn't really see the "real" Haiti, but what we saw was a beautiful. The Haitians we met, like the men who took us on a sea kayak tour, were welcoming and friendly. Tourism was down after the hurricane, and it was a bit controversial for the ships to continue to stop there when people on the island were suffering. But, they thanked us profusely for coming, for supporting their industry, and for helping them return to work. It was an interesting experience that we're glad we were able to have!
You guys are awesome 😎
Looks like a beautiful place
Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you of showing me Haiti am a Jamaican
I really enjoyed this Vlog!!! Thank you!!
Haiti is diamond is in the rough.....true very true from what I just see in this video....wow these beautiful mountains are breath taking.....This is one place I would love visit.... Haiti or Cuba....Haiti needs a strong government that cares about Haiti and his people...they need to do something about these gangs Immediately...they are killing the economy in Haiti.....SAD!
Beautiful!
Thank you for sharing a other side of Haiti
