Short Stay Travel Packages and Short Trips to Cuba

Our short stay packages are designed to make your visit smooth and enjoyable, and for this reason each short stay package includes the following:

• Round-trip airport transfers: We’ll be there to greet you when you arrive, and we’ll get you back to the airport with ease.
• Comfortable accommodations with breakfast: Start each day with a hearty meal to fuel your adventures ahead.
• A friendly local guide throughout your stay: Your dedicated guide will lead walking tours, help you plan the rest of your time in Cuba, make all the necessary arrangements and can even accompany you to activities, if you prefer.

You’ll simply cover any transportation or costs for the extra activities you choose to do locally. Our short stays are a relaxed and flexible way to experience Cuba with expert support throughout your vacation. 

Yes! US citizens are allowed to travel to Cuba legally—as long as the activities on your trip match your general license category. Find out more about legal travel to Cuba from the US.  

Salsa holds a special place in Cuban culture as the country’s most popular dance and it’s embraced informally by everyday Cubans. It’s a spontaneous and personal outlet for self-expression and fun during social gatherings.

Cuban Spanish is a dialect, easily understood by speakers of other Spanish varieties. It stands out due to its speech patterns, with its pronunciation distinct from more widely-recognised forms of Latin American and European Spanish. Our Spanish lessons in Cuba are conducted by qualified teachers as part of our language immersion short stay packages.

Cuba is pleasant to visit year-round as its tropical climate promises warm temperatures and beautiful sunshine. However, like most of Central America and the Caribbean, Cuba’s dry season is often considered the best time to visit—from November to April.

March is also a great time to explore, even if only for a 3-day trip to Cuba. The cigar festival in February celebrates Cuba’s famous cigars with the ‘Habanos’ company. If you’re interested in the Havana Carnival, visit in August. Bear in mind that hurricane season runs from June to November.

Cuba’s internet access remains limited but it’s improving. Many major squares in cities offer Wi-Fi, making it easier to get online.

You’ll need to purchase an internet card for access in public spaces. While connectivity is improving, expect slower speeds and difficulty accessing certain websites. Some guesthouses may offer Wi-Fi without the need for a card, so double-check with your host.

Additionally, you can purchase Cuba SIM cards and e-SIMs with data packages before arrival. Check our Travel Guide for more information.

Cuba’s made progress in advancing LGBTQIA+ rights. Urban centres like Havana and Trinidad boast an active LGBTQIA+ scene and same-sex marriage is legal. However, public displays of affection—regardless of orientation—might not be accepted in more rural areas.
