Cuba vacations

Cuba is a safe, friendly country for families, and our vacations bring you a good mix of beach, city and nature. Little kids can’t fail to be entertained by the attention-grabbing colour of everything, the throaty engines of old cars, and days on the beach where snorkelling reveals pristine reefs. Older children will find Cuba particularly absorbing – after all, it’s a great lesson in recent history. Once you’ve left Havana they can plunge into the jungle in the nature reserve at Las Terrazas, where swimming in shade-dappled natural pools and staying in an eco hotel beats an all inclusive any day of the week.

Empty roads and brilliant scenery – our cycling vacations in Cuba are a great way to see rural areas, as long as you don’t mind a few hills. Once you get to the summit, freewheel through tobacco plantations, and stop to bathe in a turquoise river pool. At the end of each day, you can hang up your helmet at a welcoming casa particular. Our local guides are often former pro cyclists. If you fancy joining them for a challenge, go chase Che in the Sierra Maestra Mountains, where Guevara, Castro, and the rebels had their hideout.
