Let us know of your plans before purchasing tickets. We may need to make adjustments. If you are traveling on other days-let us know ASAP about pick up times at the airstrip or boat dock on LaGonave so we can try to meet you.
Current plans include chartering an 18 seat Tortue plane to fly to LaGonave. Cost for a seat is approximately $40 US, one way . In order to have time to get on this flight in the early afternoon you should plan to arrive in Haiti no later than 12:30. If we have more than 18 people who would like to take this flight we will look into the possibility of adding a second flight.
If arrangements are made soon there may be the possibility of MAF charters. Each plane can hold 5 people as long as total weight of passengers and baggage is not over 1,000 pounds. A charter from Port-au-Prince is about 20 minutes. The total cost of the chartered plane is $190.
For those thinking about taking the boat you will need to be into Port-au-Prince no later than 11 as you will need to travel a couple hours to the boat dock. There will be one or two boat trips on the mission boat on Wednesday depending on need. Total cost of the chartered mission boat is $120 so individual cost will depend on amount of people. The boat holds about 12 people and individual cost would be $10-15 dollars a piece if the boat is full.
When taking the boat there is also the additional cost of a taxi to and from Port-au-Prince. A small van may run between $80-120. Depending on luggage a van would hold 6 Americans comfortably. We will arrange the taxi pick-up and fit as many as possible to reduce cost per person. The charge for the mission truck is $75 to the boat dock.
Departure Monday, June 30th. There will be a Tortue charter between 8-9 a.m. You should plan an afternoon flight out of Haiti to provide time for the flight and check-in 2 hours prior to your flight. An early boat trip will also be planned.
Please note that some people do not like to plan on an international flight the same day as leaving LaGonave. The weather and other variables can make this a stressful proposition. If you would prefer to overnight in Port-au-Prince please let us know ASAP. We will do our best to help you arrange for overnight accommodations and transportation.
For those coming on other days there is a large ferry that
crosses from LaGonave to the mainland in the early mornings. They leave LaGonave around 5:30 a.m. and leave the mainland around 11 or when full. Cost is about $6 a person.
Once we know your interest in attending the 50th Anniversary will add your name to an E-mail update list and send you an visitor information packet. Please feel free to ask questions
