Cuba: Essential Destination Advice

Cuba is a unique and very special destination. However, the service levels can be different from what we experience in the UK and it is very important that clients approach their visit to the Caribbean recognising this fact. Our staff will be more than happy to answer your questions on this matter.

What’s internal transport like?

Taxis are freely available in Havana and the main resort areas. The best prices are to be found with Fenix and Panataxi, both of which are metered. Cocotaxi and Grancar are not metered but their prices are set according to distance. Bicitaxis and private taxis (which are legal but not official) will require the price negotiating in advance. If you wish to embark on a long journey outside the city boundaries, it is strongly advisable to agree a price with the driver in advance. Public transport is erratic and crowded and not recommended.

Domestic flights can be subject to change and delay due to weather, operational difficulties and, regrettably, over-booking. Every effort will be made to minimise the inconvenience this causes. Therefore all domestic flight timings advised by Havanatour are for guidance purposes only. Your representative in resort will confirm final timings with you.

Road transfers may be shared with clients of different nationalities. Transfer times are for guidance purposes only since journey times can be extended due to picking up other clients from hotels, awaiting delayed flights, local road conditions, traffic, inclement weather, etc.
