Recent changes won't stop our tours!

As you may have heard, on June 5th, 2019, the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) added more restrictions for US citizens traveling to Cuba. Despite this, 11 categories of approved travel remain, and we are still helping people experience this unique country under the OFAC general license "Support for Cuban People" category [31 CFR §515.574]. 

OFAC has amended this category to "require that each traveler utilizing this authorization engage in a full-time schedule of activities". This mandated schedule will be detailed in your itinerary - please contact us with any questions or concerns.
Our team will help you navigate the process of complying with federal regulations.

Support for the Cuban People

One of our core missions for our Cuba tours has been to give back to the Cubans that welcome us and our clients to their country. We stay in their private homes, eat their carefully prepared meals, and learn about a place unlike our own thanks to the effort and hospitality of the Cubans we personally work with. We always provide support on these tours and encourage travelers to bring along gifts to share. Our commitment to supporting Cuban locals enables us to operate tours within the "Support for the Cuban People" category.
