Optional Activities on the Tour

Throughout our Cuba tours, many optional activities are on offer, and can be arranged (and paid for) locally, at local prices. Our guides are always looking for new cool things for you to do and will help arrange these activities for you. No need to book ahead, you decide at the last minute.

In this way, the guides's advice is not compromised and she/he will recommend and help you choose activities that you will get most enjoyment from, rather than recommending activities that will earn him extra money on the side.

Some of the optional activities available on our tours in Cuba are listed below.

All prices are per person, in CUC (Cuban Pesos Convertibles). Prices are subject to change, and can fluctuate in relation to group number participating, high/low season, price increases, and exchange rate variation.
