Cuba holidays - Travel through Cuba at your own pace

Cuba holidays

With Cuba Travel Plan, you'll see much more than Cuba's famous beaches. We'll also take you on a journey through Cuba's rustic countryside. Each one offers a great impression of what Cuba has to offer adventurous independent travellers.

We recommend travelling by rental car in Cuba. It's a fun and easy way to see the country. Each of our accommodation options on our Cuba holidays are small and intimate and reflects the atmosphere of the area you're visiting. One night you could be sleeping in accommodation surrounded by tobacco fields and the next night at the home of a Cuban family. You'll visit historic locations, but you'll also visit quiet villages and tropical forests.  

If you would prefer, you can build your own trip with our mini Cuba Trips
