 | |  |  | Catamaran: Catamaran Trip to Cayo Blanco | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
Cost 75 Pesos ( £1 = 1.7 Pesos ).
Collect you from hotel and transport you to Chapellin marina , about 5 minutes walk from Beaches Hotel, where you board the Catamaran.
The bar is open as soon as you board and the price includes unlimited drinks, beer, rum and soft drinks.
We sailed for about 1 hour, stopping twice to uplift live lobsters from small fishing boats, and then anchored in about 10 feet of water where we could snorkel, all gear provided,and the fish life was abundant.
The crew prepared the lobsters in the galley and the price was 10 Pesos each.
Then we set sail to Cayo Blanco for lunch, again included in the tour price.
The Island was beautiful, a real Robinson Crusoe job, white sands, beautiful warm water, you get the picture!
Lunch was very good, Lobster pieces, prawns, chicken, rice, vegetables and fresh fruit and again, the bar was free.
Lots of time for swimming, sunbathing and even a small hut selling t shirts.
Fantastic trip and great value for money as you also get entrance to the Dolphin show and a sunset cruise on either the Monday or Friday night as well for your money. Leave a Comment

| | | | Tours and Day Trips: Havana | Tip Rating: | | | | |
How could you go all the way to Cuba and not spend at least a day to check out Havana? Havana is fantastic! I put it at the top of my "must-sees" while in Varadero.
Havana is the capital of Cuba, a UNESCO World Heritage Site for all of its glorious old Spanish Colonial Architecture. There are so many historical and cultural sights to see in Havana, including the Malecon (sea wall), the Artisans Market, all the old haunts of Ernest Hemingway, Old Havana and the San Cristobal Cathedral, the Plaza de la Revolucion, the old cemetery, the Capitol building, all the 50s cars, the Havana Carnival, and some of the greatest musicians I've ever heard! Sit on a patio, have a local mojito or daiquiri with a local cigar, a toasted "Cubano" sandwich, watch the people pass by, and know you're getting the real deal. It is the most beautiful city I have ever seen.
Arrange through your hotel to take a tour or a taxi from Varadero. Most of the reasonably priced tours include a stop at a cigar factory and a stop at Copacabana (for music, food, and dancing). We did an alternative where for $200 we had a taxi for the entire day. He drove us from Varadero to Havana, he showed us the sights, and drove us wherever we wanted to go. A very polite and friendly driver. It was, I repeat, fantastic! Leave a Comment
