Cuba – Family Island Exploration

Live music fills the narrow streets of Havana. Funky artwork spills out of colorful art galleries. Lush mountain valleys and a tropical Caribbean coastline define the island’s landscape. Traveling to Cuba is truly one of the most unique experiences a family can have today.

Over the course of 6 days, we will take you to all of the must-see sights along the north coast of the island. From Havana’s colorful colonial squares to the turquoise waters that calmly lap Cuba’s sandy beaches,  your family will experience the stunning natural beauty of the island. Along the way, go behind-the-scenes and meet with artists, musicians and the folks working to make Cuba a better place for its people. This is a family tour to Cuba that will open your children’s eyes to the world and experience one of the last places where technology is non-existent and a slow pace of life still persists.

The journey begins with an exciting adventure through the buzzing streets of Havana. You’ll even have the chance to ride in a classic convertible together! While in Havana, go off-the-beaten track with a performance by a group of local special needs students as well as a visit to the funky art installation of Fusterland. One afternoon, venture to the lush Viñales Valley and experience traditional life in the countryside. Next, continue to the coast where you’ll stay in an oceanfront resort, meeting with artists & musicians along the way. Balance your time snorkeling over the crystal clear Caribbean waters while also learning about the unique history and culture of the island.

This family tour to Cuba will take you to Havana and beyond, introducing you to the real people of the island alongside our expert local guides. Interactive exchanges with local dancers and musicians will be complemented by fun child-friendly excursions through Cuba’s most famous sites including Viñales, Varadero and the old city of Havana. Through a combination of casas particulares, or locally-run guesthouses, and prime ocean-front hotels, live in comfort while learning firsthand about Cuban culture.

During your trip, you’ll divide your time between casas particulares and an oceanfront hotel. In Havana, you’ll have the unique opportunity to stay in casas particulares, which literally translates as private homes. Casas are essentially family-run bed & breakfasts (think AirBnB’s with private breakfast in the morning). Families invest in making sure their houses are up to international quality standards, and they greet you with Cuban hospitality – but also give you the privacy and comfort you desire.

In the stunning Caribbean peninsula of Veradero, stay in a gorgeous oceanfront resort just steps from Cuba’s Caribbean beaches. Enjoy fine dining, luxurious amenities, and everything you need to relax on an island vacation.
