Cuba COVID FAQ's
Do I require a COVID -19 test before travelling?
No.
What are the health requirements for joining a trip?
On Day 1 of your tour during the Welcome Meeting your tour leader will outline health and safety guidelines. We also recommend all travellers check the government foreign travel advice of both your home country and the destinations you are travelling to, to ensure you have the most up-to-date information about entry requirements and any potential health and safety concerns.
Do I have to wear a mask?
Masks are optional on our tours. You may wish to wear them to protect yourself not just from COVID but from other sicknesses with airborne transmission, especially on the bus. The World Health Organization recommends wearing masks in destinations with widespread community transmission when physical distancing is difficult.
Do I need to bring my own hand sanitizer?
Hand sanitizer is extremely difficult to obtain in Cuba so it is strongly recommended you bring enough sanitizer for yourself for the duration of the trip and extra if you would like to leave some with local hosts, local suppliers or your tour leader.
Do I have to share a room?
All our trips are twin share, however you have the option to choose a single supplement.
How will we maintain social distancing on tour?
If physical distancing is required or recommended by MINSAP (the Cuban Health Organisation), your tour leader will brief you on how to accomplish this.
What happens if someone in my group gets COVID-19?
If you or someone on your trip has symptoms of COVID-19 while travelling with us, The Cuban Government obliges that person to have a COVID-19 test immediately and will then require travellers to isolate until the test results are confirmed. We will help contact family and friends if needed as well as support with translation services at hospitals or medical centres and in contacting insurance companies, travel agents and airlines to make arrangements to return home if required.
