Cuba Travel tips nice Trips my Friends

Thank you, Summer! you two are so good at explaining things in a clear and concise manner. Loved this video. Carry on!

I brought MRE toilet paper on day trips there what a lifesaver

Super Useful !!! Thank you Guys!!! Much appreciated! Going to Cuba in April so was looking for some actual info. This helped A LOT in prep. Best of travels for you 2! Have fun! Ever! Xoxo

These were so, so helpful as I’m going there in 25 days! Lots of love from the Uk :)

Hey guys- great tips. FYI, having breakfast at your airbnb is actually a stated requirement for US citizens to legally travel to Cuba, if traveling under the "support for the Cuban people" category. It's listed directly on the Treasury Department website- no kidding! It actually says to eat breakfast with the family. That's why most of the airbnb offer breakfast. :) Thanks again!

I'm going in 2 days! Thanks for the tip

This was great! Thank you for all the wonderful tips guys! Lots of great info that you can only learn by going to Cuba.......or by watching this great video

The screenshot tip is CLUTCH! ❤

nice video... funny that I have the same flights, on Copa LAX-PTY-HAV.... :)

About health insurance, airline ticket includes that. You don't need to purchase it. I visited Cuba 3times in 2018~2019.

Super helpful guys thank you. Going in Dec 19 for New Year from the UK can't wait😊

Many thanks for your advice and tips, is your 900 dollar spend including Air bnb?

Great tips thanks so much.

Thanks for the ton of information. I am planning to cuba through Vancouver Canada to Cuba with friends since i live in Seattle

Depending on the airline, you don't have to buy the health insurance. Southwest's airfare includes the Cuban travelers medical insurance. You should note that the reason this is required is because they have socialized medicine and cannot bill insurance companies in other countries, and of course those insurance companies probably don't want to contribute to socialized medicine. Also the medical insurance is different than regular travel insurance. You don't have to go through another country to get a visa, you can get them at US airports or you can purchase them online and have them delivered to you or to your gate. You said to convert to CUP but that is the Cuba moneda nacional and is for locals. Tourist money is CUC which is the Cuban convertible pesos, although realistically you should have both. The rate of exchange isn't going to cause you to gain or lose money. CUC is a fixed rate, set with the USD so what ever you're getting, whether it be Euros or CAD, it will be no different exchanging for CUC as it was for USD. The whole point of getting Euros or CAD before going to Cuba is because when converting USD to CUC, there is a 13% fee (well 10% tax + 3% fee) so while they are worth exactly the same, you will lose 13¢ on every USD converted to either Cuban currency and will not make it back when you exchange your money to come home. Every other currency only incurs the 3% exchange fee. As for the wifi, you can get international sim cards that work in Cuba and some Airbnb hosts have wifi in their homes. A meal shouldn't be more than 5-7 CUP?? that's nuts. That's 20¢-28¢ US. You keep interchanging CUC and CUP.

VERY INFORMATIVE, best video on cuba yet! btw Great teeth summer!

Great tips Im planning on going solo in May. This video was very helpful! 🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺

AWESOME VIDEO! So very informative! Thanks!

Can you check if there was some CUP when you meant CUC. Great video

I like you guys. Great advice.

Thank you for your detailed commentary

A very helpful tips. It is my first time to visit Cuba this firstweek of December 2019. Thank you!

Thank you Great video

Thank you so much for explaining all this and providing all the links

This is the BEST Cuba travel tips video on YT, it mean that! Great stuff 👍

Loved your video, super helpful. I am planning to go in December 2020, pending Coronavirus and documents as I was born there but defected (unknowingly) as a child in 61, yes, I am THAT old, hahahaha. My daughter is traveling with me and I am planning to stay for a month, got both of our tickets for that length of time but when I tell her of some of the hardships, specifically water, toilet paper and transportation, the noise level at night if in the middle of the city, we will be, she says she might cut the trip short, which I doubt it could be an option, not sure if she decided to change her mind and return earlier if that is doable at that end. I am afraid she will change her ticket prior to getting there and then decide it was fun and she wants to see more and she will have no other option and would have to leave. I was thinking of getting a LifeStraw 3-gallon contraption to make sure my daughter is happy as I heard the water was an issue there. My daughter is very picky about food, she is vegan, and has no traveling experience outside the country except one time we went to Tijuana, and I think Cuba is a couple of notches better than Tijuana for sure, even if the buildings are falling down and everyone is trying to get a buck by directing you here or there because, from what I have heard, they get a cut which escalates the cost of the food or tour one might be getting assistance with. Doing a lot of research, your video was great. Oh, almost forgot the reason I initially wrote, when you went to restaurants that charge CUP for the Cubans and you paid with CUC, did they charge you accordingly? In other words, if all you had was CUC and you were going to pay with them when they charged in CUPs which right now is approx 26 to a CUC, how did that work? Are you able to change some of your CUCs to CUPs? Thanks for your response. Blessings and Gratitude, Gina

Hi guys! In tip nr. 12 you mentioned 900 dollars altogether for 7 days. Rbnb cost was included in that 900 dollars or 900 dollars was just on top of accommodation for traveling, eating and spending-money?

Thank you very much every good tips

I read that you can buy health insurance at the Cuban Airport right before you enter Customs desk.

From Cuba to Miami Do we need to buy a ticket to Cuba? No visa required to travel from Cuba to Miami? Is it possible to travel by boat and how much does it cost?

You guys have the most useful youtube.

Hi Summer thank you for all the good tips I am planning to go to Havana for my birthday next month. If you don’t mind can please gave me the name of the restaurant you mentioned in Havana please.

Great video! Thanks for all the tips! very useful. I am going to Cuba in november. What was the name of the restaurant that you were talking about at 15:44?

Heading to Cuba in June, 2020. But, I would like to download maps.me but download it to where since there is hardly any internet. Chrome? Firefox? Yahoo? Help please. Your suggestions/insight was amazing. I took down notes. Thank you

Great video, thank you. Wondering if anyone can comment on drinking drinks with ice in them as well as drinking water? I've been told to stick with beer to avoid ice and def buy bottled water. Any thoughts, experiences or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

I’m not sure with what mentality you went to Cuba .. you pay 10$ for a uber here right so what makes it any different in Another country ?? Also food 7$ is not expensive lol did you expect dirt cheap food because it’s developing country?

where do you buy bottled water in Havana?

Your tips are very informative!! Well done!! Can you please tell me the name of the bar and where it was that you had the "really good pina coladas"??. Again, great vlog!!

Hi summer.. I would like to go to cuba .. I live in ct but I don’t know where to start like what travel agency to call or where to get the visa.. any hiel I’ll apréciate

Super helpful tips guys! I am traveling to Cuba on the 26th! My biggest concern is exchanging my money. I keep hearing to exchange my money into Mexican pesos or Euros then to CUC. You're the first I hear about exchanging to Canadian then CUC. I think I might go that route instead. (btw...your brother is so hot!!!)

Super helpful video! Going in May :)

Hi! I was just wondering how long it took to purchase the Visa card at the airline gate? I will also be traveling to Cuba through Copa Airlines with a layover in Panama, but the layover time is only 1hr 9 min. Assuming that the flight arrives on time, I just wanted to know if it would be enough time to de-board the previous flight, walk to the gate, buy a Visa Card, and board the plane. The short layover already gives me anxiety, but purchasing one online would cost 3-4x more than at the gate 😓

you are incorrect with the bank card you can use scotiabank dept card in any ATM in Havana many places and used . in Varedaro we used credit card to get cask if you ask where you exchange money

This video is super helpful and you guys have a great way of sharing the information together. Great job and thanks.

Great tips! But drinks for 5 bucks is not pricy.

What's the drinking water situation like in Cuba? Is it safe to drink tap water? Does Cuba sell bottled water?

HI loved your video...what reason did you ticked on the list of 13 reasons for going into Cuba.. was it " to help the Cuban people' thanks in advance

were you traveling under the "support of cuban people" visa?

This was awesome. I leave next week. I'm hoping to find a place to swim with stingrays. Did you guys go hiking there? Any good spots

I know that theres a fee to change u.s dollars. When u change to euros prior, is there not a fee when you exchange in cuba? And do you get the same or more for your bucks?

Awesome video...and gorgeous woman...the dude is ok LOL

Hey I'm planning a trip to Cuba my question is with the airbnb's is it more expensive to get a airbnb in Havana and then travel to Varadero or should I get two airbnbs?

cuc not cup it about time he say some to you about that when you talk about there country

Hi can you tell me what insurance you purchased and with who?

Really helpful tips Didnt even know about the cash thing, no internet, maps etc, dictionary We are travelling to Cuba from Miami on 20 May 2020 for 6 days. We know we need a pink visa. Can we get it from Miami airport, we are UK citizens, thanks guys

Also if you left Cuba after 1970 you will need Cuban passport..i found out the hard way ..if you left before 1970 you need a visa..after 1970 no visa needed only a Cuban passport

I live in Mexico and i a going to Cuba sometime next month and i will be flying from Mexico to Cuba do I still need a visa?

TIP: when going to the toilet wash yourself with water. Bring een extra water bottle! Especially when there is no toiletpaper! In my culture its a must to wash yourself with water!

Hi, how about the restriction to enter Cuba? Do you recomend to check the box "people to people" if im traveling alone?

Which airline did u use?

Really liked your video but you had me confused when mentioning prices (CUP vs CUC) .Average price of things were not clearly articulated CUC or CUP ??? Also, if you have CUP at the end of your trip ..... Do you convert back before you leave Cuba (at a bank of the Customs Area ..... Or can you wait until you get back home ( or do you know if a cruise ship can convert $$$). Thanks

I'll be using bottled water exclusively for drinking, brushing teeth and face washing. Ain't nobody got time for diarrhea! Haha Thanks for the great tips, happy travelling.

what is the visa for ? does this mean a visa credit card? Im travelling from Canada so not sure if it pertains to me as well.

Please send me the link for airBNB please

Hi, how are you to have a beautiful channel in RU-vid? Do you know Algeria? Algeria is located in North Africa

MAPS:ME...is very god its also fore free...and works ofline..

Thank you! Going in 1 month, for first time. One of many questions: how did you secure your monies? I am a single traveling woman and have been more concerned with this. p.s. I have my single packet and convenience pack of DUDE WIPES already.

HI summer, thanks for the video.. Just checked the rates of CUC and CUP ( PESO ) they're the same !! Was it different back then when you were there ?? What's the speed of the 1 hour Internet ? Can you make Internet calls, upload, download. How fast? If one stayed in hotel, should he get free Internet with the room 😊 Bye..

Hi , My wife and i are heading to Havana next week , could i ask if Havana Airport was quite smooth and efficient when travelling threw passport control etc ,,, I will read the various other comments later but the Video was very informative ,,,, Greetings from Scotland . Paul & Gwen ...

Those people are poor what’s 10 dollars for a car ride ..I think it’s very rude to try to get a deal at a very poor place

Health Insurance mandatory? Wifi hard to find? Barely no English ? Damn.

I'm 🇺🇸 never been to 🇨🇺 & I want to visit Havana thanks for the details I want to make 🎬🎬🎬when I go someday. Thankyou

Honestly kinda annoying didn’t really describe my experience they are making it seem a bit worse than it actually is

...one thing is to be there as a tourist, and another completely different thing is to be there trapped as a prisoner of the totalitarian system. Cuba 1965-1980, Mariel Boatlift escapee here....

That fucking sucks I would go to Mexico, better places and hotels

Don't like the beeping between each tip. Where does these people live, on Mars. Talking about 10.00 a drink, really. In Southern California your lucky to get a drink for 10.00. They talk way too much and don't get to the point. They repeat themselves too much. Didn't tell me about the requirements to travel to Cuba . It says everything you need to know to travel .

What happened in your face? 90 % make up. 10 % face Lol

wow, 100 Dollars for a visa

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN TRAVELING TO CUBA FROM THE UNITED STATES = DONT

You’re explaining the horrors of going there. Then why go? You’re part of the problem!
