Getting There & Around
How to Get to Bassin-Bleu
Bassin-Bleu is accessed from the towns in Haiti’s Nord-Ouest department, commonly from the coastal town of Port-de-Paix or Anse-à-Veau. The final approach is on a rural road; visitors typically hire local transport and a guide for the last stretch. Expect unpaved roads and a short hike from the nearest drivable point.
Tips for Visiting Bassin-Bleu
- Hire a local guide from the town of Anse-à-Veau or Port-de-Paix - trails can be poorly marked and a guide helps with river crossings.
- Bring sturdy shoes and a waterproof bag; paths can be slippery after rain and some pools are reached via steep steps.
- Visit early in the day to avoid mid-day sun and to enjoy the pools before small local tour groups arrive.
