Tours to Cuba from Almaty — a journey to the legendary Island of Freedom, where time seems to have stopped among retro cars, colonial palaces, and Caribbean beaches. Cuba surprises with an incredible blend of Latin American flavor, lively salsa music, turquoise sea, and the genuine hospitality of the Cubans.
Why choose Cuba
- World-class Caribbean beaches — the snow-white sand of Varadero, the coral reefs of Cayo Coco, and the secluded bays of Holguin — Cuba's coastline ranks among the planet's best beach destinations.
- Unique atmosphere — vintage American cars, the cobbled streets of Old Havana, hand-rolled cigars, and live Cuban music on every corner — you won't find this kind of flavor anywhere else in the world.
- Visa-free travel — Kazakhstan citizens don't need a visa to visit Cuba for stays of up to 30 days, which significantly simplifies trip preparation.
- All-inclusive system — most Cuban resorts operate on an all-inclusive basis with quality food, drinks, and entertainment, making your holiday worry-free.
- Diving and snorkeling — Cuba's coral reefs are among the world's top ten for underwater exploration, with water visibility reaching up to 40 meters.
Popular Cuban resorts
Varadero
Cuba's main beach resort and the most popular destination among Kazakhstani travelers. The Hicacos Peninsula stretches 20 km along the Atlantic Ocean, offering perfect white sand and calm turquoise sea. The best 4-5 star hotels operating on an all-inclusive basis are concentrated here, and entertainment includes diving in Saturn Cave, a dolphinarium, and excursions to Havana.
Havana
The capital of Cuba, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, charms visitors at first glance. The old town with baroque palaces, the Malecon waterfront, El Morro fortress, and the legendary bars where Hemingway drank his daiquiri — Havana is a must-visit. Many tourists combine a couple of days in Havana with a beach holiday in Varadero, just a two-hour drive away.
Cayo Coco
An island resort on the northern coast of Cuba, connected to the main island by a causeway. Untouched nature, mangrove thickets, flamingos, and kilometers of deserted beaches with fine coral sand — Cayo Coco is ideal for those seeking a quiet and secluded holiday on the Caribbean coast.
Holguin
A province in eastern Cuba with the picturesque beaches of Guardalavaca and Playa Esmeralda, considered some of the most beautiful on the island. Hilly landscape, tropical forests, and fewer tourists compared to Varadero create the atmosphere of a true Caribbean paradise. From here it's easy to reach Santiago de Cuba — the musical capital of the island.
When to go
The best time for a trip to Cuba is from November to April, when the dry season sets in with comfortable temperatures of +25...+30 °C and minimal humidity. During this period, water temperature in the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean stays around +25...+27 °C. From May to October, the rainy season brings short tropical downpours and possible hurricanes in September-October, but tour prices drop significantly, and rain rarely lasts more than an hour.
