A Day in Havana Followed By a Tropicana Cabaret
No holiday in Cuba is complete without a trip to the nation’s historical capital of Havana and with its impressive colonial style buildings and four defining plazas; you may feel as if you’ve stepped back in time. Then when you spy vintage American cars driving past ration shops and ice-cream parlours this feeling will become even more evident. However, the sounds of the samba spilling from open windows and luculent tones of the locals going about their daily business show that Cuba is very much alive and kicking.
You can get more of a feel for the history of the destination by visiting the Museum of the Revolution, which displays the leaky boat that Castro and his team of revolutionaries returned from exile on in 1956.
After learning all about the turbulent history of Havana on your holidays, you’ll enjoy the opportunity to spend the rest of the evening relaxing under the stars, drinking copious Cuba Libres and watching what Cuban’s do best, cabaret!
Swimming With the Dolphins in Varadero
Swimming with dolphins is an incredible experience and the friendly dolphins of Varadero will definitely prove to be a highlight of your Cuba holidays. An excursion usually starts with swimming alongside these magnificent animals and posing for photographs. The braver can then opt to have a video made of their Cuba holiday experience, which involves balancing on the dolphin’s dorsal fin and riding in tandem as two friendly dolphins whip through the water with you holding on for dear life.
Afterwards, dry off and watch the famous Varadero Dolphin Show, in which these playful porpoises compete for their trainer’s attention by doing all manner of tricks from shooting basketball hoops to dancing the Macarena.
Cigar Tour
You’ve probably been asked by countless friends and relatives to bring them a cigar back from your Cuba holidays. But how do you know which is the best brand to purchase? Well you could get an expert opinion. An excursion to a famous Cuban cigar factory not only debunks the myth that Cuban women roll cigars with their thighs; they don’t, but it also gives you the opportunity to try out many different brands whilst you search for a favourite. The Cigar Museum gives you more of an insight into the popularity of the country’s main export and answers some popular questions, such as, exactly what brand 007 smokes and how a cigar was intended to assassinate Fidel Castro.
Deep Sea Fishing From Varadero
This tour is worth doing alone for the fresh lobster lunch that is served onboard within minutes on being caught. There is no 5* restaurant in the world that serves lobster that succulent. But less about the lobster and more about the tour! The Deep Sea Fishing tour from Varadero is a half day excursion on board a luxury catamaran, which allows you to lie back and catch a few rays whilst attempting to catch your own evening meal.
The Art of Rum
The Cubans are passionate about their rum and once you’ve visited the rum museum, on your Cuba holidays, you’ll realise just how passionate. From distilling methods that take over 25 years to actually having a national brand of rum, the crazy Cubans are mad about this beverage. This tour takes you around the famous bars of old Havana and even includes a free cocktail making lesson, so whether you want to learn more about Cuba’s rum culture or simply want to top up your bartending skills this excursion is the perfect supplement to your Cuba holidays.
