Cuba Tours & Vacations

Vibrant architecture and vintage cars of Havana, Cuba

Behind the hum of vintage cars, pastel hues of 16th-century buildings and wafts of cigar smoke, the real Cuba shines bright.

A country caught in a cultural time warp,   Cuba   is a bright snapshot of the mid-20th century; a true feast for the senses. Watch as Cadillacs roll down the coastal boulevards, walk through traditional tobacco plantations in Vinales and see cigar production in full swing, laze on the shores of the   Caribbean   on some of the world’s whitest sands, and feel the sultry and spicy vibes of salsa as you dance the night away in Havana. With all of this on offer in one of the world’s best climates, what’s stopping you from checking out Cuba’s kaleidoscope of color and charisma?

Culture and customs.

With   Spanish ,   African   , and Creole influences, modern Cuba is home to so many cultural components – some of which don’t feel super ‘modern’ at all!

You won’t be surprised that Cubans love music and dancing – with everything from Afro-Cuban rhythms to classic melodies filling the air in clubs, bars, restaurants, and on street corners. The modern arts are also alive here, with ballet, contemporary dance, and film rising in popularity – so much so, Havana is now home to internationally recognized film, literature, and music festivals.

Living in a Communist country means Cubans sometimes go without the luxury items that many Westerners take for granted, with certain foods and consumer goods not available. Despite this, events like birthdays, holidays, and marriages are celebrated with gusto, with special meals, music, and dance featuring. This love of life is also evident in the street parties, festivals, and fiestas that are celebrated throughout the year. Coffee, cigars, and rum flow freely, and people dance to the sound of trumpets and guitars in city streets.

Life in the cities and life in rural areas can be quite different, but the pace of living is consistently Cuban – you’re on local time now, so go with the flow. Experience Cuban culture on our 8 day Beautiful Cuba trip.

History and government

Ancient history.

Before the arrival of the Spanish in 1492, Cuba was home to Mesoamerican cultures, including the indigenous Guanajatabey and Taino people. The Guanajatabey were hunter-gatherers and fishers, and Taino communities also harvested yuca, cotton, and tobacco. Spanish colonialist Bartolome de las Casas estimated that Taino populations in Cuba had reached 350,000 by the end of the 15th century.

By then, Christopher Columbus had landed in Cuba and claimed the land for   Spain, naming it Isla Juana. In 1511, Diego Velazquez de Cuellar founded Baracoa, the first Spanish settlement in Cuba, and three years later what’s now known as Havana was built.

20th century

In 1902, after periods under Spanish, British, and United States rule and involvement in the Spanish–American war, Cuba got its independence. Despite the economy booming, leaders at this time ruled through corruption and control. This was until revolutionary Fidel Castro led a 9000-strong guerrilla army into Havana in 1959, forcing military dictator Fulgencio Batista to flee. Castro became the leader and his brother, Raul, his deputy. What followed was an attempt by the United States to overthrow Castro’s communist rule at the Bay of Pigs, and tension and trade embargoes following the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.

Standing alongside Castro as an equally prominent political figure, Che Guevara (although Argentinean) holds a very important place in Cuban history. A revolutionary, author, doctor, and military leader, Guevara played a pivotal role in the guerrilla campaign leading up to the Cuban Revolution and the defense of the Bay of Pigs, as well as in diplomatic relations, up until his death in 1967. It’s impossible not to notice the reverence for Guevara when visiting Cuba, with street art, statues, and museums dedicated to the man Cubans simply call ‘El Che’ found all over the country.

In April 2011 Fidel Castro was succeeded as the First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba by his brother Raul Castro. Cuba’s political relationship with other countries, including its close neighbors, is ever-evolving, with the US recently beginning to ease restrictions on trade, tourism, and other industries. But a snapshot of 50 years of isolation remains in the cars, architecture, and culture that is a contemporary Cuban street. Learn about Cuba's fascinating past on our 15 day Best of Cuba adventure.

Eating and drinking

Cuba may not have culinary fame compared to some of its neighbors, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be missing out on some great food during your time here. Cuba typically doesn’t have access to a wide range of ingredients, so your dining experience may not be as varied as you’d expect from some other   nearby destinations. Regardless, there are some Central American favorites that are definitely worth trying. Try out the local cuisine on our 8 day Cuba Highlights tour.

What to eat in Cuba

Pastelitos These small pastries can be either sweet or savory. Cream cheese, guava, and beef are the most popular fillings and make for a cheap, tasty meal on the run. Think empanadas, Cuban style.

Cuban sandwich Otherwise known as a mixto, this sandwich is a simple snack that has made its way north into Florida and has become one of the quintessential images of Cuban food beyond its borders. Ham, pork, cheese, mustard, and sometimes salami layered between bread and grilled – what’s not to like?

Ropa vieja Not only is this one of the national dishes of Cuba, but it’s also found all over the Caribbean, in Spain, and even the Philippines! It may literally translate to ‘old clothes’, but that’s definitely not what it tastes like – slow-cooked pulled beef with vegetables, usually served with maduros (fried plantains), black beans, and rice.

Fritura de maiz These deep-fried cheese and cornmeal fritters are popular street food snacks in Cuba. A great choice for vegetarians; throw a couple of these back and you’ll be feeling the Cuban spirit.

Moros y cristianos

Rice and beans is ot just rice and beans. Black beans and white rice are added to a base of peppers, garlic, and onion and simmered with herbs, creating a flavorful addition to any meal and served up at virtually every Cuban restaurant you'll come across.

If you're a little bit peckish and are on the go, seek out some tostones. These twice-fried plantain chips are very popular in a lot of Latin America countries and are an easy (and often cheap) snack.

Although flan is known all around Central and South America as an essential dessert, Cuban flan has a slightly different spin. It's made with evaporated and sweetened condensed milk, giving it a thicker and creamier caramel custard finish than fresh milk varities. Get ready for a seriously delicious sugar high.

Coppelia ice cream Line up with locals to savor a sweet scoop from Coppelia ice cream parlor. This Cuban institution serves tried and true flavors like chocolate and vanilla as well as exotic favorites like mango and coconut.

What to drink in Cuba

Rum The tipple of choice in Cuba is rum, obviously. Savour some Havana Club straight up, have it mixed in a minty mojito, or sip on a Cuba Libre – rum, cola, and lime.

Coffee Cuban coffee is of legendary quality, so be sure to get your caffeine hit with a small but rich cup of liquid gold. Drink it like the locals do, as a cafecito or Cafe Cubano. This type of espresso-style coffee is usually sweetened with raw cane sugar and stirred in with the first drips of espresso to get the best result.

Geography and environment

This island nation sitting in the Caribbean Sea is home to a diverse range of environments: rolling hills to tobacco plantations, beaches, and coral reefs to tropical rainforests. With more than 20% of the island covered with natural parks, there's incredible biodiversity, making it a great place for eco-adventures, hiking, snorkeling, and diving.

Large cities like Havana evoke a time gone by. Grand buildings dating back to the 1950s exude a fading beauty, which makes for great photographs but can also make daily life quite difficult. Due to a lack of building materials, new housing, and infrastructure are rare, making living conditions quite cramped for Cuban city dwellers. Rural life offers more space and a quieter pace, but reduced access to services. Regardless of where you holiday in Cuba, the people are generally kind and hospitable in both the big cities and small towns. Wander the magnificent landscapes, both natural and manmade, on our 8 day One Week in Cuba adventure.

Cuba may not be known for its shopping, but look closely and you’ll find lots of unique souvenirs to take home as a reminder of your holiday. Before heading home, check with your local customs officials to ensure that you are able to import some items back into your home country. Australia and New Zealand, for example, have strict quarantine laws. The United States also has restrictions on the amount of tobacco and alcohol that can be brought back from Cuba.

What to buy

Art Cuba has a keen appreciation of the fine arts, so it’s not hard to find unique artworks by up-and-coming local artists being sold at galleries and markets. It also makes for a meaningful memento of your time away.

Cigars The cliche is unsurprisingly true – cigars are everywhere in Cuba. Be sure to buy cigars from authorized sellers, as fakes are common. Purchasing straight from the factory is usually best.

Coffee Cuban coffee is top quality, so stock up before you leave to enjoy a taste of Cuba in the comfort of your own home. Do check, however, if your country of origin allows plant-based materials to pass through quarantine.

Music With such a rich musical heritage, Cuba is a great place to pick up a hand-crafted instrument or, if traveling light, a CD or a local artist’s info to add to your playlist.

Do some serious souvenir shopping on our 8 day Premium Cuba tour.

Festivals and events

Havana international jazz festival.

Local and international artists head to Havana every January to become a part of the happening jazz scene. From the impressive Teatro Nacional de Cuba to the city streets, the sweet sounds of jazz fill the air of Havana for the duration of the festival.

Habanos Cigar Festival

In February, cigar connoisseurs gather to celebrate their love of the best cigar in the world – the Habano. With tastings, visits to plantations and factories, master classes, and cigar-rolling contests on offer, this festival will intrigue curious travelers and delight cigar enthusiasts.

Santiago de Cuba Carnival

Watch this historic city come alive in July with street parades full of vibrant costumes, drums, and dancing. This epic public celebrations date back to at least the 17th century and are held all around the country, but Santiago de Cuba hosts the biggest, brightest, and most traditional of them all.

Cuba travel FAQs

Do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

When is the best time to visit Cuba?

Cuba's subtropical climate is ideal for exploration, with most places catching the cool trade winds that blow in from the coast, providing pleasant year-round temperatures. June, July and August are usually the hottest months – the dry season runs from November to April and the wet season from May to October. Even in the rainy season, downpours are short and shouldn't impede travel plans. Tropical storms and hurricanes are more prevalent in September and October but rarely cause problems for travelers.

Do I need a visa to travel to Cuba?

Tourists of most nationalities require a 'Tourist Card' which is similar to a tourist visa. These can be obtained through travel agents in your home country, or directly from Cuban embassies and consulates. Depending on the airline you are traveling with to Cuba, you may also be able to purchase the tourist card at the airport from the airline on the day of your departure – please check with your airline for more information. 

If you are a US citizen, American permanent resident, or hold any type of American Visa and are considering traveling to Cuba, please refer to the US Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs website –  travel.state.gov  – for the latest advice.  

We recommend traveling to Cuba via Canada, Europe, and South or Central America. Travelers who have been to Cuba are ineligible to participate in the ESTA Visa Wavier Program and must apply for a tourist visa to enter or transit via the United States.  

Remember to check the entry requirements for any destinations you will travel or transit through both to and from Cuba. 

The page is for general information only and may be subject to change. It is your responsibility to obtain relevant visa and travel information required for entry, departure and travel to each country or region you visit on your trip. You should confirm these with the relevant embassies and/or consulates. 

Last updated: 14/11/2023

Is tipping customary in Cuba?

As most Cubans live modest lifestyles, leaving a tip for good service is a great idea and welcomed.

There is almost always free entertainment in bars and restaurants; the musicians and singers are usually not paid by the venue, so we encourage you to tip when you have enjoyed the performance. Tour leaders, restaurant workers, hotel porters, cleaning staff and taxi drivers will appreciate a small sum – but be sure to tip in Cuban pesos as foreign currency isn’t easily exchanged in Cuba.

It’s important to carry around small denominations of currency to leave tips during your holiday, so you can tip an amount you feel comfortable with.

What is the internet access like in Cuba?

Internet access isn't widespread throughout Cuba, but availability is improving. The internet can sometimes be accessed from government departments and larger hotels, and main squares in many cities now have wi-fi accessibility. You will need to purchase an internet card from certain hotels and outlets to gain access in any location, including in public areas.

Please note that although connectivity is improving, the connection may still be slow, some websites may be censored, and the cost is typically quite high.

Can I use my cell phone while in Cuba?

Your cell phone may or may not work while in Cuba, depending on what type of phone you have. Before leaving your home country, ensure roaming is activated with your provider, but be aware that your phone may not get reception due to Cuba having the lowest cell phone network penetration in Latin America.

If you intend to activate global roaming while in Cuba, be sure to check with your service provider to find out about any fees you may incur when using this option, as sometimes this can be expensive.

What are the toilets like in Cuba?

Public toilets are rare in Cuba, but western-style flushable toilets are available in hotels, bars, and restaurants. Bringing your own toilet paper and hand soap or hand sanitizer is recommended as often these are not provided. Due to import restrictions, toilet seats can be considered a luxury and may be missing from some facilities.

What will it cost for a...?

Cuba's unit of currency is the peso (CUP). Here's what you can expect to pay for a:

  • Can of soft drink or bottle of water = 1-2 CUP
  • Cup of coffee = 1.50 CUP
  • Cocktail = 2-5 CUP
  • Meal in a nice restaurant = 120+ CUP
  • One hour of wi-fi = 25 CUP

Can I drink the water in Cuba?

It's not advisable to drink water from the tap in Cuba. For environmental reasons, try to avoid buying bottled water. Fill a reusable bottle or canteen with filtered water if you can – your group leader will provide larger and less disposable water containers for refills on private transport days when they have the resources available. It's also best to avoid ice in drinks and to peel fruit and vegetables rather than eating washed or unwashed produce.

Are credit cards widely accepted in Cuba?

Some credit cards are accepted in Cuba (Visa and Mastercard are usually more widely accepted), although some cards linked to US banking institutions won't be accepted. Debit cards (even Visa debit) generally have problems working. We recommend you bring multiple cards from different banks to be sure you have access to funds. Ensure you also have enough cash and other forms of payment, as credit card facilities may not always be available.

What is ATM access like in Cuba?

ATMs are accessible in large cities like Havana and Santiago de Cuba but are rare and almost non-existent in other parts of Cuba. Ensure you have other payment options available in case you cannot access an ATM while traveling.

What is the weather like in Cuba?

Cuba enjoys Caribbean vibes all year round, and sits below the Tropic of Cancer, so you’ll enjoy a tropical climate with north-easterly trade winds that blow year-round.

May to October is usually considered the wet season, with higher maximum temperatures each day (around 90°F) and more sunlight each day, averaging 10 hours. September and October is hurricane season in the region, and this time of year is usually hot and overcast, with a higher chance of rainfall.

November to April is usually the drier season in Cuba, with maximum temperatures sitting around 79°F and an average of 8 hours of sunlight each day. The winter months are clearer, slightly more humid, and more comfortable than summer.

What public holidays are celebrated in Cuba ?

  • 1 Jan:   Liberation Day
  • 2 Jan:   Victory of the Armed Forces
  • 1 May:   Labour Day (International Workers' Day/May Day)
  • 25–27 Jul:   National Revolutionary Festival
  • 10 Oct:   Independence Day
  • 25 Dec:   Christmas Day

  • 7 Dec:   Anniversary of Antonio Maceo’s death

Please note,   Cuba public holidays may vary.

Is Cuba safe for LGBTQIA+ travelers?

Cuba has made some significant steps in recent years to ensure LGBTQIA+ rights in the country. Homosexuality is legal and accepted in Cuba, and there are some anti-discrimination laws in place for employment, service provisions, and gender identity. However, same-sex marriage recognition is still pending, and stigma still remains in some parts of society, especially in rural areas.

The Cuban National Center for Sex Education (CENESEX) works to support the LGBTQIA+ community in Cuba and hosts rallies to educate and advocate.

For more detailed and up-to-date advice, we recommend visiting   Equaldex   or   ILGA   before you travel.

If you are traveling solo on an Intrepid group tour, you will share accommodation with a passenger of the same gender as per your passport information. If you don’t identify with the gender assigned on your passport, please let us know at the time of booking and we’ll arrange the rooming configuration accordingly. A single supplement is available on some tours for travelers who do not wish to share a room.

Is Cuba accessible for travellers with disabilities?

Intrepid is committed to making travel widely accessible, regardless of ability or disability. That’s why we do our best to help as many people see the world as possible, regardless of any physical or mental limitations they might have. We’re always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them toward the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

As Cuba has not had the same infrastructure development as other countries, you may find some mobility challenges when traveling. Havana’s streets are often crowded, and sidewalks can at times be rugged or even nonexistent. This is the same with other cities and towns around the country. Also, a lot of public transportation isn’t geared toward travelers who use a wheelchair, so private travel may be the only option to get around.

If you do live with a visual, hearing, or other impairment, let your booking agent or group leader know early on so they’re aware and suitable arrangements can be made. As a general rule, knowing some common words in the local language, carrying a written itinerary with you, and taking to the streets in a group, rather than solo, can help make your travel experience the best it can be.

Do I need to purchase travel insurance before traveling?

Absolutely. All passengers traveling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

Top Cuba Tour Operators for Americans

travel to cuba agency

Sir Francis Canker Photography/Getty Images

For the first time since the 1950s, Americans are allowed to travel legally to Cuba , but it's still not a simple process if you want to book a flight and hotel in Havana or Varadero, for both bureaucratic and supply related reasons. That's why Americans still book tours through companies that have won special approval from the U.S. State Department to run cultural-exchange trips to Cuba .

Going on a group tour means you're guaranteed not to run afoul of the still-sticky rules governing Cuba travel , which require that your trip focuses on cultural exchanges, not tourism (in other words, you should be meeting Cuban people and learning about their culture, not lying on the beach all day). Each of these companies has crafted tours full of cultural experiences that you'd be unlikely to arrange all on your own. Plus, you'll be traveling with companies that have had years of experience operating in Cuba and with guides who are intimately familiar with this fascinating country and its people.

Note that all Cuba tours are fully escorted, include all lodging and meals, and have a mandatory overnight in Miami for pre-trip trip orientation.

Insight Cuba

Insight Cuba is based in New Rochelle, N.Y., and has been bringing Americans to Cuba since 2000. Their tour schedule is especially diverse, with programs focused on music, baseball, and the Havana Marathon as well as tours that get visitors outside Havana to explore the still mostly undiscovered countryside. Their 4-day Weekend in Havana tour is a rare opportunity for a quick Cuban getaway.

Cuba Explorer

Canadians have been traveling to Cuba legally for decades— an experience that benefits this British Columbia based agency that also is licensed to bring U.S. citizens to Cuba. Programs include basic introductory tours, an Arts and Culture Tour to Havana, Trinidad and Cienfuegos, and a trip to the annual Havana International Jazz Festival.

Classic Journeys

Classic Journeys operates tours all over the world and has added Cuba to its offerings. Programs include a seven-night walking tour, a family-oriented program designed with children and teens in mind, and a Havana weekend tour that includes stops at Ernest Hemingway's house, salsa lessons, and a stay in Old Havana.

Friendly Planet Tours

In addition to the typical Havana and Cuba introductory tours, Friendly Planet offers an itinerary that includes a stop in Varadero, the beach destination most visited by non-U.S. travelers.

International Expeditions

This ecotourism company specializing in nature travel offers two Cuba tours: one focused on Havana and the city of Trinidad and a longer journey that includes visits to the wetlands of the Zapata Peninsula, a boat trip through limestone caves off the coast of Vinales, and a stop at a farm that raises tobacco for Cuba's famous cigars.

YMT Vacations

YMT Vacations is an international travel company that offers a single 8-night Cuba itinerary that includes stops in Old Havana, the historic towns of Santa Clara and Remedios, a tobacco farm, and the usual cultural, musical and artistic performances and visits required under the "support for the Cuban people" travel rules.

Central Holidays

Another legal Cuba travel pioneer, Central Holidays offers a 7-night "Havana: Then and Now" tour and a 9-day program that takes in Havana and the less-traveled historic cities of Camaguey, Trinidad, and Cienfuegos. 

In Touch Travel Services

In Touch offers four Cuba tours with some interesting twists, including programs focusing on the island's Spanish colonial history, Afro Cuban culture and music, and a rare chance to visit the east coast towns of Guantanamo and Baracoa.

Cuba is for seniors, too! ElderTrek's comprehensive, 13-day tour of Cuba takes in Havana, the Sierra del Rosario Biosphere Reserve, Cienfuegos, Trinidad, the history of the Cuban revolution in Santa Clara, Afro Cuban music, and more.

Collette Tours

New England based Collette Tours, one of the nation's biggest tour companies, runs a Rediscover Cuba tour several times a year; the itinerary includes visits to Havana and Trinidad, a steam train ride to a sugar plantation, a choral concert, and more.

The Cultural Cuba guide and driver were amazing! They were so knowledgeable and friendly. They felt like family! We highly recommend visiting Cuba and can’t wait to return.

I spoke with my clients and the word “outstanding” was used several times. It was a wonderful and special trip for all! Cultural Cuba has a great team!

The trip was exceptional. Our guide was the best we have ever had, and we have traveled quite a bit. I could see Cuba in an entirely new light regarding its history, culture, and people. Thank you.

Everything was perfect. Our guide and our driver made us feel so welcome. Our fathers both left Cuba in the 1950s, so being able to see the country was a gift for us.

We had a fabulous time in Havana! We were able to get a tremendous sense of a great country with lots of history and such potential. Now you have set the gold standard for long weekends away!

Everything was top notch. The restaurants were all superb. We left Cuba with a clear mind and a love for the culture, food, and people. We would definitely love to visit again!

Terrific trip! Great experience for people that have traveled all over the world. The hotel was really comfortable and deluxe. We would highly recommend Cultural Cuba. Thanks for a great birthday celebration!

Our five-day trip was completely effortless! The perfect balance of activities and downtime. I can’t even think of anything else I would have wanted to do if we had more time. Go to Cuba with Cultural Cuba!

Thank you for a marvelous trip. ALL aspects of the trip; hotel, meals, guide, driver, and selected itinerary components were perfect. I can summarize by saying we all had an amazing time.

Just got back from Cuba. It was even better than expected. Accommodations were lovely and as portrayed, the guide was incredible, the food was superb and the experiences/tours were all wonderful!

Marazul Tours

Marazul has been arranging travel to Cuba since 1979. This year we celebrate 40 years! In that time, we’ve pioneered American travel to Cuba, and we’ve been at the forefront of the easing of restrictions. We’ve spanned  seven presidential administrations, have succeeded through low and high times, while maintaining expert service and excellent programming. Our history runs parallel to the fight for the right to travel to Cuba. Get to know us a bit better and scroll through some of our company’s & travel history highlights!

History as Dynamic as Cuba itself

travel to cuba agency

President Jimmy Carter lifts the restrictions on travel (by putting all tourist travel under a General License). Young Cuban Americans in the Brigada Antonio Maceo travel to Cuba as an act of friendship and reconciliation.

600 young people from the US attend the World Youth Festival in Havana Meeting in Havana, representatives of Cubans living abroad in the United States, Spain, Puerto Rico, and Mexico establish a Dialogue with the Cuban Government. Cuban American leaders establish the Committee of 75 to help push forward the dialogue.

This same year, Francisco Aruca and other Cuban Americans take part in a dialogue with the Cuban government. Upon returning to the United States, the idea for Marazul was born!

Marazul was founded by Francisco Aruca with three purposes:

  •  Help Cuban Americans reunite with their Cuban Families
  • Bring as many groups and people as possible from the US to Cuba to see Cuba firsthand, and to experience it personally.
  • End the restrictions on travel to Cuba, leading to an end in the blockade

First-time regular charter service is established between Miami and Havana.

In response to the founding of Marazul Tours, the Cuban government founded the land operator Havanatur to provide the arrangements for Cuba Americans travelers, returning to Cuba for the first time since the revolution.

During this time, Marazul was the  only travel agency sending groups and individuals to Cuba!

President Ronald Reagan re-imposes the travel restrictions. (Marazul continued to send group legally to Cuba, while always maintaining compliance with US and Cuba law.)

Marazul is subpoenaed by the US Treasury Department for the names of all Marazul Tours clients who had traveled to Cuba. Marazul refused and with the crucial assistance of the Center for Constitutional Rights, the National Lawyers Guild, and the National Conference of Black Lawyers fought back and won in court.

Marazul is bombed for the first time — It would happen again in 1989 & 1996. Many other Cuban travel agencies would unfortunately experience that same fate as well.

Due to the collapse of the Soviet Union, Cuba faced an unprecedented economic crisis, referred to as the “special period.” In order to grow the economy and continue their commitment to social programs, Cuba invested heavily in the tourist industry. New hotels such as the Melia’s & Parque Central were built. Under the leadership of City Historian Eusebio Leal, a massive restoration of Old Havana was undertaken, Cuba also opened the Latin American Medical School, providing free medical education to people across the world.

The Cuban Friendship Institute’s travel agency; Amistur, opens its doors! Marazul is their 1st US partner.

The World Festival of Youth and Students is an international event, organized by the World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFDY), a United Nations-recognized international youth non-governmental organization, jointly with the International Union of Students since 1947. In 1997 Marazul Tours worked with the prep committees for the 14th iteration of the festival which was taking place in Cuba, assisting those interested in traveling legally under a license.  The licenses were unjustifiably denied, but 900 unlicensed young people defied the restriction and attended the festival. It was the largest single travel challenge in US history. None of the 900 students were fined.

Pope John Paul II visits Cuba and calls for an end to the restrictions and US economic blockade.

President Clinton modifies restrictions allowing increased travel – but only under licenses.

1982 - 2003

Hundreds of universities, colleges and high schools, professional and cultural organizations, religious institutions and groups, and thousands upon thousands of individuals flood the Treasury Department with applications for travel – many enlisting the aid of their congressional representatives. Over 750 universities and colleges receive licenses.

OFAC under the direction of President George W. Bush, eliminated the People to People travel category, the 2nd largest category after family visits. Marazul applied for specific licenses for all remaining categories of legal traveled and continued sending groups to Cuba.

Barack Obama is elected 44th President of the United States of America

President Obama’s OFAC decides to issue a General License for Cuban American travel once every 12 months to visit ‘close’ relatives. This is the first action to broaden travel to Cuba in 10 years.

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus led by Congresswomen Barbara Lee visit Cuba and meet with President Raul Castro and former President Fidel Castro. Call for an end to the embargo and the travel ban and respect for Cuba’s sovereignty. Marazul Tours coordinated the travel of the Congressional Black Caucus.

Prior to meeting with Latin American heads of state – excluding Cuba – President Obama announces ‘new beginning’ of US-Cuba relations and orders opening of unrestricted travel by Cuban Americans to visit their close relatives. Revised restrictions are finally issued in September.

President Obama & President Castro announce establishment of diplomatic relations between the US & Cuba.

On July 20, 2015, the US Interest Section in Cuba resumed its role as the US embassy after the announcement of the resumption of diplomatic relations by both nations. US Sec. of State John Kerry was present at the ceremony.

President Obama, accompanied by his family, becomes the first sitting US President since Calvin Coolidge in 1928 to visit Cuba. This was seen as a momentous occasion and he was greeted as a superstar.

President Trump announces return on regime change policy towards Cuba. Announces the elimination of the individual category of travel, as well as announcing that the OFAC regulations would be updated later in the year.

Despite a change in US travel regulations, Cuba experienced a surge of tourism in 2017. They surpassed their goal of over 4 million travelers from around the world. . Marazul continues to send hundreds of groups and thousands of people to Cuba on educational, academic, professional, religious, health and cultural groups.

Our professional, multi-national,_bi-lingual staff invites you to travel with us

Vice president.

As a student and community activist in the 1960’s and 70’s, Bob Guild has been active in efforts to normalize relations between Cuba and the U.S. for more than 45 years. Bob organized the first legal tour to Cuba in 1978 when President Carter ended travel restrictions and he has continued to send as many U.S. visitors as legally possible after President Reagan re-imposed the restrictions in 1982. Over this time he has also lobbied and testified in Congress, spoken around the country, and co-chaired the National network on Cuba – all in an effort to help end all travel restrictions and the economic blockade of Cuba. When not obsessing on Cuba, Bob travels with his wife on trekking adventures in the Himalayas, the Andes, and Alaska and more relaxed times in India and Italy and as much time as possible with his grandchildren.

How we work with travel providers

Cuban travel can be complicated. Requirements for American travel to Cuba change often, just as activities, rules and regulations for travelers in Cuba shift almost weekly. As an American-owned company in Cuba, we stay on top of all of those changes every day, working out the details, logistics and legalities of Cuban travel for travel agencies and providers like you. We can focus on these details so you can focus on selling an unforgettable cultural experience, secure in the knowledge that it will be unforgettable in all the right ways.

How we work with private groups

We work with families and private groups of travelers to create custom itineraries, complete with your very own guide and a full complement of arranged experiences around Cuba that best follow the regulations for American travelers to Cuba as set forth by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Our specialty is in connecting travelers with Cuban artists, craftspeople, musicians, dance teachers, entrepreneurs, professional chefs, home cooks, and community non-profits for true cultural exchange. For legal reasons, we don’t offer ‘beach & fruity drink vacations’, but there is much more to experience and see in Cuba than this.

TESTIMONIALS

“ Custom Latin Travel put together a fantastic custom group tour that included cultural events you would just not discover on your own. Flexibility was the order of the day, and Custom Latin Travel willingly adjusted the tour itinerary at times to meet requests from our group. We stayed at a great accommodation right in the heart of Old Havana, which allowed us to explore on our own in our free time. If you are contemplating a trip to Cuba, go now and have Custom Latin Travel plan your trip. ” John L. Chicago, Illinois
“ Custom Latin Travel organized a trip of a lifetime for me and my family. From the planning phase to our time on ground in Cuba, I was impressed with their operation, specifically their close connections on the ground. It's clear they have a strong connection to Cuba. They were quick to reply and answer questions and their team on the ground was so knowledgeable and flexible. We learned so much and would love to go back! ” Sarah W. Oakland, CA
“ Custom Latin Travel assisted in organizing a custom tour for me and my friends to Cuba. They were up to date on current regulations on American travel to Cuba, and prompt to reply to my many questions. I was recommended to them from a friend who had traveled with them prior, and I was very happy with our time. We learned so much about Cuba and had such an insightful and fun trip. I would recommend Custom Latin Travel to other travelers looking to explore Cuba. ” Kristin A. Seattle, WA
“ Joslin and her team at Custom Latin Travel completely took the hassle out of the Cuba travel experience. They are very organized, knowledgable, have solid relationships with the local guides, and have great connections with the local population. They make it seem as if there is no problem that is too difficult to solve, from dealing with medical emergencies, to going out of their way in their personal time to assist with an extra activity. ” Audrey R. Bronx, NY

Western cuba.

Home to Havana, the city frozen in time and bursting with culture. Don your helmet and headlamp to explore some of the largest caves in Latin America. Horseback near sprawling tobacco fields and talk with farmers. Ride a bike through verdant valleys and rural communities.

CENTRAL CUBA

A nature lover’s delight. Spectacular waterfalls and trails, immaculate keys excellent for snorkeling and swimming. Home to rich architectural heritage and many UNESCO World Heritage Sites including Trinidad and Cienfuegos.

EASTERN CUBA

Lesser visited than the west, the definition of “off-the-beaten path”. Santiago, the city that dances the night away. Fewer tourists mean more authentic and interactive travel experiences. Some of the most biologically diverse sites on Earth.

Verified review.

We really enjoyed our time. Our guide and drivers were amazing. Our guide wanted to be sure we had a wonderful experience, and we did! The weather didn't always cooperate, but we did not lack things to do. We had an amazing Zicasso travel agent. She was very easy to work with and very accommodating. I would work with her again.

Expert Tips for Discerning Travelers

Using a Travel Agency to Go to Cuba: The Pros & Cons

travel to cuba agency

Going to Cuba can be overwhelming (what are " Categories of Approved Travel ", " Tourist Cards ", and "convertible pesos"?).

But working with a travel agent isn’t always the best way to set up your Cuban travel.

Here, we look closely at the pros and cons of using a travel agency to go to Cuba, measured by price, experience, personalization, safety, availability, & authenticity.

  • Personalization
  • Availability
  • Authenticity

Go where the locals go

Pros : Travel agencies are generally in contact with airlines, hotels, and tour groups. Theoretically, they're able to get you discounted rates. 

Cons : First of all, working with a travel agent often comes with hidden fees and commission.

Ideally,  trip planners who aren’t paid commission  are the way to go—especially if they can also help you budget your itinerary.

Secondly, Cuba has limited internet access. That means that travel agents that don't live in Cuba don't have first-hand knowledge about what's going on—like which attractions are currently open, what places are affordable, and which spots have become tourist traps. That can make your travel to Cuba feel like a cookie-cutter trip. 

#2: Experience

Experience Cuba Travel Agency

Pros : Travel agents are known for their trip-planning experience. That means that, in theory, they can recommend plenty of things to do in Cuba. 

Cons :  Most travel agents rarely travel to Cuba . Even fewer have lived there themselves. Plus, given Cuba's limited internet access, it's tough to get up-to-date info. 

Simply put, you can't beat local knowledge. When you have a local plan your trip , they can share their experience and personalized recommendations. 

Plus, local trip planners have intimate knowledge of all the latest Cuba travel restrictions , including how Americans can travel to Cuba , and how to get a Cuban Tourist Card or Visas .

#3: personalization.

Safety Cuba Travel Agency

Pros : Travel agencies can offer degrees of trip personalization—generally, you can choose from a list of day trips, lodgings, and guided tours. But this list is limited to agents' companies and connections, which means it can leave a lot out. 

Cons :  Given these limits, there's not much room for a truly personalized trip. When you work with a local to plan your trip , they'll create a guidebook based on your interests.  Basically, it's like having a friend in Cuba who designs a trip based around what you want to see and do. 

Safety Cuba Travel Agency

Pros : Given Cuba's intimidation factor, working with a travel agent can feel like a safe bet. Travelers want to work with someone who knows the country well, and agents can give valuable input. 

Cons : Again, you simply can't beat the insights of someone who actually lives in Cuba . When you work with a local to plan your trip , you'll receive practical Cuba safety tips based on a local's real-life experience. Plus, they'll provide phone support in case you run into any issues. 

#5: Availability

Availability Cuba Travel Agency

Pros : Of course, travel agents will be available to answer questions as you plan your trip. But what about once you arrive? 

Cons : Depending on where you're coming from, Cuba's time difference can make getting a quick answer from an agent difficult—especially if they're busy working with other clients. When you have a Cuban local plan your trip , they'll be in your time zone and available via phone if you need them. 

Like a travel agent, local trip planners in Cuba can help you get a Cuban Tourist Card or Visa . 

#6: Authenticity

travel to cuba agency

Pros : If a travel agent specializes in Cuba travel, they'll know about the "top ten list" things to do in Cuba. 

Cons :  Nothing can replace local knowledge. If your travel agent doesn't  live  in Cuba, they'll create a trip based on what they can research. When you have a local plan your trip , they'll include locally beloved spots and hidden gems that only someone who lives there can know.

Conclusion: Have a local plan your trip instead

Have a local plan your trip Cuba Travel Agency

If you want to see Cuba like a local—not a tourist—work with one to plan your trip. 

Finding a great Cuba travel agency can be difficult because of the specialized nature of Cuba travel . 

When you work with a local, they'll introduce you to a side of their country that most visitors miss—and help you through the often-confusing process of traveling to Cuba as an American .

Welcome to traveling in Cuba like a local.

Starting in the west you will find the province of Pinar del Río , a point near Havana , where contact with nature will awaken your senses.

In western Cuba there is also the Province of Matanzas , one of the most visited in Cuba due to the spectacular Varadero , one of the main destinations on the island.

Approaching the center of the island you will find the province of Villa Clara , its most visited city is its capital Santa Clara , which attracts visitors due to its historical importance for the island of Cuba ; However, the most acclaimed destination in this province is Cayo Santa María , the largest island in Cuba with approximately 18 kilometers, of which 10 are impressive beaches, among which are Playa Perla Blanca, Las Caletas, Cañón and Cuatro Punta . On the other hand, one of the most visited attractions in this key is the Cayo Santa María Dolphinarium , known as one of the best dolphinariums in Cuba.

If you are traveling from Havana to Cayo Santa María , a good idea is to stop on the way to get to know the beautiful city of Cienfuegos , located in the province of the same name, in the heart of the island of Cuba. You will not regret visiting its historic urban center declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO , with its impressive and colorful buildings with neoclassical decoration and different monuments of importance such as the José Martí Park ; the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception and the City Hall building .

This extraordinary colonial city has an invaluable architectural heritage, in which you will feel that you travel back in time, while connecting with the true Cuban spirit.

It is a very interesting city due to its historical importance, you will also enjoy walking through its streets, where you will find important monuments such as the Cathedral of Santiago de Cuba , which is listed as a National Monument; Cespedes Park, declared a National Historic Monument and you can also get lost in the famous Enramadas street, the main axis of the city. Santiago de Cuba also offers beautiful Caribbean water beaches such as Playa Sibonei, Daiquirí, Costa Morena. Berraco, Cazonal and Sigua.

 Continuing in eastern Cuba , this time in the province of Guantánamo , you will be able to approach the city of Baracoa . Known as the First City of Cuba , being the first city founded in the country. Baracoa is the perfect combination of different types of landscapes, both with extraordinary vegetation represented mainly by the Cuchillas de Toa Biosphere Reserve , located in the Alejandro de Humboldt National Park ; as well as beautiful beaches such as Playa Miel and Maglito and crystalline rivers such as the Toa River , located in Parque el Yuque .

 Finally, at the eastern end of the Canarreos Archipelago , is the extraordinary Cayo Largo del Sur , a spectacle of the Caribbean Sea, which is among the most attractive destinations in Cuba that deserves to be included in your dream trip to Cuba. Its most famous beaches are Playa Paraíso and Playa Sirena , where you can practice water activities such as scuba diving, scuba diving or snorkelling . You will also be able to appreciate its external fauna with the exotic iguanas and the charming turtles that lay their eggs in the sands of this impressive key, especially in Playa Tortuga between the months of May and October.

How to get to and move around Cuba?

Despite the fact that Cuba is a world-renowned tourist destination, the fact that it is an island limits access to it. Therefore, the main routes to reach Cuba are air and sea.

In the first place, the most common and popular way to get to this country is by plane to the José Martí International Airport in Havana . This airport is the most important in all of Cuba since it offers international and national flights. However, the connection from the airport with the Cuban capital is not so simple because there are no buses or regular trains that can take you to the city center, so if you are in a hurry, the fastest way to get to Havana is by a journey of about 40 minutes by taxi.

Another important airport is that of Antonio Maceo , located in the easternmost part of the country, in Santiago de Cuba . This airport, which was remodeled a few years ago, has two runways and equipment to receive any type of aircraft.

For the rest, the rest of the airports in Cuba are smaller and have a smaller number of flights, which are mostly domestic flights. These secondary airports are found in each province and in some keys such as Cayo Coco   or Cayo Largo .

The other way to get to Cuba is by boat since the country has four cruise terminals in Havana, Cienfuegos,  Isla de la Juventud and Santiago de Cuba . These ports turn out to be very central, so you will not find the need to take taxis or collective transport to reach your destination or get to know the city.

As for the rest, to move around Cuba there are many types of transport, so you will be able to find the one that best suits your tastes.

Among the most used are buses, which in turn can be long and short distance. As for long-distance buses , these are very popular because they make trips to the most touristy places and can even make circuits through their points of interest. However, their main problem is that in some places the buses only make one trip a day. On the contrary, provincial or short-distance buses are less comfortable and punctual but cheaper, so they can also be a good option for those on a more limited budget.

Trains are also a popular means of transportation because they travel to all provincial capitals and at a fairly reasonable price. In addition to this, there are several types of trains such as the special one, which makes quick trips, with few stops and various amenities; regular trains, which are somewhat slower but with more daily departures; or the French train, known for its speed and its wide range of service s such as cafeterias.

On the other hand, taxis are also a very good option, mainly because of their ease of catching them. Generally, they tend to make short trips at reasonable prices , although they can also make longer trips at a higher price.

However, for all those who want to get to know Cuba at their own pace and without depending on schedules, there is also the option of renting cars. Usually there is little supply and a lot of demand, so it is advisable to reserve a car in advance. The price is usually quite reasonable, although it depends on various factors such as the number of rental days, the make of car, the type of changes, etc.

Another very good option is to move around the island by bicycle, since in addition to being able to walk through the cities with total peace of mind, their light weight allows them to be transported by buses or trains . For the rest, their prices are cheap and they can be left anywhere due to the large number of car parks. However, you have to take into account that your rental does not include helmets and that therefore, if you want to walk with greater safety, it would be advisable to bring a helmet from home or ask for it at the hotel where you are staying.

A very curious way of getting around, especially in Havana , is by cocotaxis ; yellow tricycles with capacity for two people. Its advantages include its low price and its fun, although the fact that you have to constantly pedal is its biggest drawback.

Horse carriages are also a good option if you want to make trips through the most touristy points of the cities. These trips are very safe and with fairly fixed prices .

Finally, for the most daring and adventurous, a fairly common practice in Cuba is to bottle or hitchhike . The low incidence of crime makes this activity a safe practice and there are even traffic supervisors who will help you hitchhike . Finally, the price usually varies depending on the distance, although they are usually more than reasonable prices.

Regarding the keys of Cuba , as they are small islands, many of them are communicated with each other through catamaran trips. These routes are usually part of full-day or half-day excursions and thanks to this curious means of transport you will be able to observe the beauty of the place from a unique perspective .

The climate of Cuba is divided into two seasons: the dry or winter season, which covers the months of November to April; and the rainy or summer season, which occurs between May and October and is characterized by high probabilities of rain, tropical storms and hurricanes , although all of them are usually brief. For this reason, while in winter you will find temperatures that will oscillate between 20 and 26ºC, in summer the maximum temperatures can be around 34ºC in the coastal areas.

All these values have an impact on the temperatures of the waters since, as you will be able to find out if you visit the beaches of Cuba , they exceed 24ºC in winter and oscillate 30ºC during the summer. In addition to this, the climatic factor also has an impact on the turquoise color of its waters, which will leave you speechless and will make you feel that you are in paradise .

On the other hand, if you are a lover of festivals and shows , it is worth taking note because as of February this type of celebration is common on the island. In this way, while in the first and last months of the year the events are linked to music or cinema (for example, the International Jazz Festival in February or the popularity of going to the cinema in December). In summer the Activities are lively and outdoors (such as carnivals in Havana, Santiago de Cuba  and other provinces during the month of August).

Aquarium of Cuba, Havana

Cuba is not only a destination focused on young people and adults, but there is also a great variety of options adapted for the smallest of the house.

Thus, in the city of Havana itself there are multiple options such as the National Aquarium of Cuba , where children will enjoy shows of sea lions, dolphins, etc. On the other hand, another curious option is to visit the Maqueta Museum of Old Havana, where the little ones can feel like the kings of the capital when they see the city at their feet. However, other very fun and educational plans can be found in historical monuments. Thus, both in the San Carlos de la Cabaña Fortress and in the   Castillo de la Real Fuerza you can discover moats, observation posts and even night shows with soldiers in period clothes. However, you cannot forget that children are small and that they should enjoy themselves; For this reason, in the center of the city you will find the Isla del Coco, Maestranza Park and Lenin Park amusement parks where children can have a great time.

As for the westernmost area of Cuba , in Pinar del Río  children will be able to enjoy plans in natural environments. In this way, they will have the possibility of discovering and letting their imagination carry them through the Mural of Prehistory , in the Viñales Valley , or discovering the most rural places while taking horseback rides.

On the other hand, if children are true lovers of the animal world, your best option is in Santa Clara . In this province you will find on the one hand the El Bosque Zoo , where you can discover unique species, or also be just a few centimeters from the crocodiles in the Guamá Crocodile Farm.

If, on the other hand, you are staying in the easternmost part of the island of Cuba , your best plan will be to visit the Castle of San Pedro de la Roca del Morro . This castle was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and in addition to this, it has a pirate museum , where the enjoyment of the adults and children of the house is guaranteed.

Finally, if your destination is the paradisiacal keys of Cuba , you must bear in mind that in this environment the little ones will have many plans. Thus, in addition to being able to carry out water activities in any of the keys, the largest keys such as Cayo Coco or Cayo Largo del Sur offer catamaran excursions in which the little ones will enjoy not only the small islands, but also their unique fauna. like iguanas in Cayo Iguana . For the rest, in Cayo Santa María you will also find a fantastic dolphinarium, while if the children are very adventurous, Cayo Coco and its Rocarena Climbing Center will put them to the test.

Traveling to Cuba is an unforgettable experience that in order to fully enjoy it must be organized. However, the cost of your trip to Cuba is more accessible than you think, since by putting yourself in the expert hands of our organization of Cuban agencies, you will have the best options according to your needs.

The possibilities to choose from are varied depending on the number of travelers, for example it is important to know if it is a family trip, a trip with children, a friend trip or a trip as a couple. Likewise, the dates chosen can influence the budget, this due to the fact that in the high seasons that oscillate between the months of July - August or December - March, the prices of tickets and accommodation tend to be more expensive, so it is also advisable to make reservations with anticipation.

Another circumstance that will influence the cost of a trip to Cuba are the services to be hired, if it includes flights, accommodation, transportation or tour guide services. The category of these services is also a factor to take into account.

The alternatives offered by the island of Cuba are so diverse that the best way to travel to Cuba is by organizing a trip through our expert Cuban agencies; which guarantee you the best price on the market and totally personalized, so that you can make your dream trip to Cuba, without worries.
