A fascinating and diverse island, Cuba is a lesser visited jewel

in the Caribbean. Choose to stay in the capital of Havana,

whose UNESCO World Heritage listed streets exude an air of

old style glamour, or in Varadero, the premier beach resort,

which boasts transparent waters and white sandy beaches.

Explore the island’s surrounding waters by catamaran, taking

breaks from sunbathing on deck to snorkel the colourful coral

reefs or swim with dolphins. Back on land, discover Cuba’s city

streets in a fleet of classic cars, a fun and unusual way to

experience the sights and sounds of this colourful island. At

night, join the locals for live music, dancing and Cuban

cocktails.

HAVANA - IDEAS FOR INCENTIVE GROUPS

Havana Tour

Over 500 years of roller-coaster history have conspired to

create one of Latin America’s most electric and culturally

unique societies. We use a mixture of horse drawn carriages

and ‘coco taxis’ explore this vibrant capital in unique style to

discover a bit of history, cigar and rum factories and restaurants

and bars that beat to a salsa beat.

Classic American Cars

Embrace Cuban culture and walk down memory lane with a

private transfer to dinner in a classic American Cuban car.

Tropicana Show

The Tropicana show is a Caribbean spectacular that shouldn’t

be missed.

Cigar and Rum Factory Tour

Cuba is famous for both its cigars and its rum. A visit to a

tobacco and rum factory is a fascinating experience with an

opportunity to sample and purchase some of Cuban's finest

produce. Perfect for those little gifts to take home!

Viñales Valley and The Indian Cave

Explore the picturesque Viñales valley, with its steep limestone

outcrops, patchwork of fertile plantations (still ploughed by

oxen) and distinct tobacco drying houses, it is a complete

contrast to the loud and rebellious capital.

HAVANA - HOTELS, RESTAURANTS & BARS

The Hotels

If you know where to look, behind Havana’s crumbling facades

you can find a good array of 4* hotel options including some

lovely boutique properties. Choose from traditional Spanish

style properties to Art Deco gems.

The Restaurants

Due to recent changes in legislation, Cuba’s restaurant scene

has begun to develop in recent years and this trend to set to

continue, with more and more dining options to choose from.

Privately owned paladares are the place to head for authentic

Cuban cuisine. You can also find great Italian, Spanish and

even sushi options here if you know where to look.

The Cafés and Bars

With coffee being one of Cuba’s primary exports, there’s no

shortage of great cafés to enjoy a cup. Be warned however

that the coffee in Cuba is strong! For this reason, the Cubans

drink it sweet and often as shots.

The Nightlife

Cuba is a thriving and lively island full of nightlife options, and

nowhere is this more evident than in Havana. The emphasis

here is on dancing. Cubans love to dance. You’ll find locals and

tourists alike moving to the sounds of salsa, R&B and Latin

tunes at one of the city’s many nightclubs. If you’re not normally

the dancing type, a few rum laced cocktails at a swanky cocktail

bar before heading to the dancefloor should help.

VARADERO - IDEAS FOR INCENTIVE GROUPS

Sailing

Explore the beautiful coast and aquamarine waters of Cuba on

a stylish French catamaran. Lay anchor in one of the beautiful

private bays and snorkel through the colourful fish before

kicking back and relaxing with a lobster barbeque on the beach.

Jungle Jeep Safari

An exciting jeep drive along the palm groves and rivers passing

through typically Cuban country villages and farms.

Swim with Dolphins

Take a boat out and swim with these amazing creatures in their

natural environment!

Jet Bike in the Mangroves

For the more adventurous guests, take a adrenaline fuelled

guided tour of the Mangroves on a jet-bike.

Varadero Market

Varadero’s market is one of the biggest in Cuba and one of the

best places to pick up traditional souvenirs. Here you can find

everything from musical instruments to leather goods at great

prices.

The Hotels

Varadero is home to some of Cuba best beaches and as such

it’s imperative that you secure yourself a beach front hotel to

make the most of this stunning location. There are a number of

4 and 5* properties to choose from, including some great all

inclusive options.

The Restaurants

Despite being a paradise of all inclusive hotels, there’s actually

some great restaurant options to be found in Varadero. We can

recommend some excellent beach front restaurants with

amazing views to wow your guests, along with great local and

international cuisines.

Nightlife

A trip to Varadero would not be complete without sampling the

Cuban nightlife. From the typical international disco scene to

the Cuban Cabaret and intimate Salsa clubs, there’s something

for everyone, even if it is to simply watch with a cocktail in hand.
