Your Gateway to Authentic Cuba. Unparalleled USA Cuba Travel Expertise

Authentic Cuba Travel® provides Cuba travel services to Cuba for educational institutions, organizations, and travelers from USA, Canada and all over the world. We take care of flights to Cuba’s main destinations departing from USA ports (Miami, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale, Houston, New York, Los Angeles, and others) or through third countries like Canada and Mexico. 

Authorized US travelers can travel through a third country subject to the same restrictions and requirements as those flying directly from USA.

After the publication of the new amendments to the Cuban Assets Control Regulations (31 CFR Part 515) on June 9, 2022, none of the existing 12 categories of Cuba legal travel have been eliminated, the US embassy in Havana will remain open and commercial flights will continue. Cruise ships are prohibited from departing the U.S. on temporary sojourn to Cuba. Furthermore, the General License authorization that was in place within these 12 categories was not eliminated either.

US Educational, Cultural & Religious Institutions can organize a trip to Cuba for their members under the General License for Educational Activities; the General License for Support for the Cuban People; the General License for Professional Meetings; the General License for Religious Travel; the General License for Amateur and Semi- Professional Sports; the General License for Public Performances and Exhibitions; and others.

However, most of these US organizations do not have the legal contracts with Cuban providers, the contacts and the know-how in Cuba to run their trips. It can take years for US organizations to obtain all approvals and permissions from the Cuban Ministry of Tourism and other pertaining Cuban bodies. Those US organizations (including US tour operators and travel agencies) rely on the travel services of a well-established Cuba tour operator like Authentic Cuba Travel® that:

has many years of experience in the Cuba travel industry;

has all contracts, contacts and approvals in Cuba to run any sort of Cuba group tours from US;

has the best rates in the industry due to high volume of travelers, years of operation, and reputation among Cuban travel service providers (hotels, transportation companies, tour guides, ect);

has the largest selection of thematic Cuba tours (educational, arts, architecture, sports, ect) to choose from.

There is no doubt that Cuba is one of the most incredible travel destinations in the Caribbean. So much of history has happened here over the course of hundreds of years, and due to political issues that have strained Cuba travel and tourism, much of the Cuban culture lies relatively untouched by outside influences. At Authentic Cuba Travel®, this is the side of the island that we want our travellers to see and explore. We want to take you beyond tourist resorts and beautiful beaches and into authentic Cuba.

Getting to know the authentic Cuba means taking the time to see smaller towns and villages. It means getting to explore Cuba’s architecture, see Cuba’s beautiful parks and nature reserves, and hear Cuba’s music and spend time with the Cuban people. Our Cuba educational & cultural tours will do so much more than simply give you fun in the sun; we can provide a true cultural experience. So many people outside of Cuba know only what they have read in history books or seen on television, but the true Cuban experience is one that is richer, broader, and deeper than you could possibly imagine.

Take the time to look through the large selection of thematic authentic Cuba tours we offer and we are sure you’ll understand why Authentic Cuba Travel® is your gateway into the authentic Cuba.
