In order to write about life, first you must live it.

Dreaming of vibrant cities, vintage cars, Salsa in the streets, and the scent of salty ocean air? Yep, just as Ernest Hemmingway once did, you’re dreaming of Cuba. But when’s the best time to visit this Caribbean gem? Let’s break it down so you can catch the island at its absolute best.

Our March tour sits in that sweet spot when it comes to being in Cuba’s Dry Season. Not too hot as Summer months and not as busy as the Winter months. The weather and the fact that it’s not as busy make March a great time to explore Cuba’s diverse offerings, from its historical sites to its natural beauty.

Our August tour; we picked August because this is the month with the lowest rainfall in Cuba, temperatures are hot and humid around 23-32°C. Perfect to enjoy the beautiful Cuban beaches and warm waters for snorkelling at this time of year. August is a great time
to enjoy seasonal tropical fruits and try local drinks like guarapo. The famous Havana carnival is on, which makes for vibrant energy amongst the streets in Havana.

Our October tour; visiting Cuba in October offers a blend of favorable weather, fewer crowds. While it’s still within the wet season, October is generally less rainy and humid than the summer months. With fewer tourists around, you have a better chance to experience authentic Cuban culture and connect with locals.
