Detailed Program
Day 1 - Welcome to Havana
Private transfer to your accommodation from Havana airport.
Meet your local guide who will assist you for the duration of the tour.
Depending on your arrival time, the guide will take you on a walk in the area around your accommodation, showing you some points of interest, and suggesting some great cafes, bars or paladares.
These privately run restaurants are the best places to experience true local food, drinks and great hospitality.
******************
Day 2 - Exploring Havana
After your breakfast you will be picked up by your guide to start the private Old Havana walking tour.
Old Havana has been designated a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1982. Remodeling is occurring slowly, so while some buildings are excellently restored to their original glory, others have taken on their own look by being left to age naturally, virtually neglected since the Revolution triumphed more than 50 years ago.
During this tour, the guide will take you around through the historic center where you can admire:
The Capitol & The Parque Central.
The Bacardi Building & the Great Havana Theatre.
Obispo Street and El Floridita Bar.
The Ambus Mundos Hotel.
The Plaza de Armas & The Plaza de la Catedral.
La Bodeguita del Medio.
The Plaza San Francisco de Asis & The Plaza Vieja.
You’ll also have time to enjoy one of the world famous cocktails such as the Cuba Libre, the Daiquiri or the Mojito in one of the bars you will visit.
At the end of the walking tour you will have a 2 / 3 hours break for a lunch or for a rest at your accommodation.
Then you will be picked up again by your guide for the 3 hours modern Havana private tour in a classic convertible or a classic sedan if you prefer it to be air conditioned.
While enjoying the ride in the vintage car, you will visit all the most important touristic spots of the Capital such as:
Miramar & Revolution Square (Stop).
The 5th Avenue and its colonial mansions.
Havana Forest (Stop).
Colon Cemetery & University of Havana.
Hotel Nacional (Stop).
China Town, Central Park & Paseo del Prado.
Malecon & Havana Bay.
El Morro Fortress & Havana Christ (Stop).

First of all you'll stop at La Boca de Guamà , where you can visit the biggest crocodile farm in Latin America and (if the boat is operating) you can reach the Old Tainos Aboriginal Village.
After you will stop at the Cueva de los Peces (Fish Cave), a 70 mt deep sinkhole filled with multicolored fish that come in through a subterranean passage, where you can swim and do some snorkeling.

Then you can choose to have an optional lunch at one of the local paladares which offer superb traditional food (the area is very famous for crab meat and lobsters) at a very reasonable price or to continue your tour by visiting the museum of "Bay of Pigs victory" first (if you are interested in that) or going directly to Playa Larga Beach where you can relax and swim in the amazing turquoise water.
If you add the optional scuba diving, you will be having it either at the Fish Cave or Punta Perdiz.
Otherwise, you are free to ask your guide to take you anywhere else in the area.
Around 4.30 Pm / 5.30 Pm, depending the season, you will leave the Bay of Pigs to return to Havana.
Once in Havana, you will be dropped off at your accommodation to freshen up and get ready for the evening.
Free Evening.

Otherwise you will go directly to visit Fusterlandia, a small community on the west side of Havana, though the neighborhood’s actual name is Jaimanitas. The entire district is decorated with murals, ceramic mosaics, and colorful quirky sculptures.
Then you will visit Cojimar Fishermen Village, which inspired Hemingway's best seller " The old man and the sea ", where you can see the memorial built in his honor and, if you want, you can have a lunch at "La Terraza restaurant", Hemingway's favorite place for lobsters.
******************
Then you can choose to spend a few hours at the Beach, visit Finca Vigia or do whatever you prefer including one of the optional activities like a Private Salsa Dance Class, a Rum & Cigars Tasting, or a Private Cuban Cooking and / or Cocktails Class.

Few hours at the Beach
Few hours at the Beach
The driver will take you to Megano or Santa Maria del Mar, two among the nicest Playas del Este white sand beaches where you can relax, sunbathe, swim in the turquoise waters or have a ride in a catamaran or a kayak.
This is also a very good place to have some fresh coconut water and a great seafood lunch which can be served directly under your umbrella.

Finca Vigia
You will be taken to Finca Vigia, Hemingway's country home in Cuba, where he spent twenty-one of his most productive years becoming a titan of English literature. His house remains just as it was when he lived in it. You’ll see his eclectic personal objects, thousands of books, manuscripts, and photographs, as well as some animal trophies, bagged on his frequent safaris.
At the end of the Finca Vigia tour you will be dropped off at your accommodation to freshen up and get ready for your last evening in Havana.
Around 8.00 pm - you will be picked up again by your guide to reach the Fortaleza de San Carlos de la Cabaña, an 18th-century fortress on Havana's harbor, where you will attend the "cañonazo ceremony".
The cañonazo itself is the firing of a cannon over the bay at exactly 9.00 pm, but leading up to it... there is a really interesting ceremony featuring actors dressed in 18th century military garb.
