Cheap Holidays In Cuba

Probably you have been searching for some cheap Cuba holidays options already and you have not been very lucky. I intend to give you some tips on how to safe money before you book you package holidays to Cuba.

One of the most expensive parts of your holidays in Cuba is definitely the transfers and almost all tour operators will include taxi transfers in their packages Taxis as you can appreciate are the most comfortable but also the most expensive way of touring around Cuba.

My advice is to just ask for flights and accommodation from your agent and you will see what I mean. That will knock down few hundreds from your quotes including taxi transfers to/from each location in your itinerary. Now is time to introduce you to VIAZUL.

For the sake of comparing let's take for instance a taxi transfer from Havana to Trinidad. This is a common combination that most tailor made tour operators use on their packages. A taxi from Havana to Trinidad costs around 150 GBP or 200 CUC and a ticket with Viazul cost just 25 CUC.

I guess you can see what I mean here. The difference in price is huge. If you are looking to visit various locations in Cuba using taxis could cost you from 300 CUC to 800 CUC depending on the distances you want to cover. Travelling from one end of Cuba to the other end will cost you around 100 CUC in total.

The coaches are very comfortable and come in different sizes. They are normally equipped with TV, WC, air conditioning and even catering for the longer journeys.

People don't realise how long distances are in Cuba when they look at a map of the island. Cuba looks so tiny compared t the mass of Continent that surrounds it but it is well over 1200 km long from west to east.

Just one point I want to make clear though which is the fact that VIAZUL alternative will never be as comfortable as the taxi option but hey! We are looking at cheap options here not VIP service.

Before you decide to go to Cuba make sure you check some few options on cheap Cuba holidays.
