Legal Travel To Cuba From the USA
Last updated: July 2025
KEEP CALM AND GO TO CUBA, it's still legal!
Cuban Adventures welcomes Americans on all our tours in Cuba.
- Take a SCP-ready tour - with these tours we make it easy for you to meet the full-schedule requirement for the Support for the Cuban People Cuba (SCP) general license, taking the guesswork out of legal travel. These tours have a daily schedule of fun and diverse activities that support local communities and businesses, and help you connect to Cubans in a meaningful way. Look for the tour codes starting with SCP (e.g. SCP5, SCP9, SCP14). The tours also have the benefit of including our best accommodations, meals and most gratuities. See our tours.
- Book a regular tour & choose compliant activities - American citizens can travel on any of our regular Cuba tour packages if they stick to certain activities that are appropriate for their general license travel category, and keep documentation to show it. You can learn how to make your trip to Cuba legal with these general license instructions.
