Overview & Highlights

Travel around Cuba by self-drive hire car. Your accommodation is pre-booked. From Havana, drive through limestone landscapes in the Viñales valley and forested Las Terrazas. Move on to historic Cienfuegos and colonial Trinidad. The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office currently advises against travel to Cuba.

If you are adventurous in spirit, a Cuba self-drive is the most rewarding way to explore this unique country. This two-week tour of Cuba’s highlights is an explorer’s delight. Ideal for a Cuba family holiday or adventure with friends, driving your own hire car gives you the freedom and flexibility to delve deeper into Cuban culture, meet the locals and escape to quieter corners, choosing how fast and how far you travel.

Your hotels are all pre-booked for you. Walk around Havana’s historic centre; drive through limestone landscapes in the Viñales valley and forests around Las Terrazas. Move on to Cuba’s historic cities, Cienfuegos and colonial gem Trinidad.
