Experience Overview
Experience Cuba from the perspective of two wheels as you cycle around the eastern coast of this laidback Caribbean island.
Experience Cuba from the perspective of two wheels as you cycle around the eastern coast of this laidback Caribbean island. Wander the colourful streets of Havana, cycling alongside vintage cars on your way to the verdant Bay of Pigs. Discover the UNESCO Word Heritage sites of Cienfuegos and Trinidad, pay homage at Che Guevara’s final resting place in Santa Clara, and indulge in the picture-perfect beaches of resort town Varadero. Experience the Cuba that lies beyond the rum and cigar scene all from the saddle of your bike, with an expert local leader and likeminded riding companions.
Highlights
- Ride through Cuba’s everchanging landscapes and see the country from a unique perspective – from the charm of Old Havana, you’ll ride along small dusty farming roads to dramatic limestone cliffs and lush valleys.
- See Caribbean Cuba on two wheels – a bike gives you unique access to parts of the island that are off the beaten track, like the incredible Caves of Fishes.
- Pay homage to the legendary Che Guevara – an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, physician, author, guerrilla leader, diplomat and military theorist – at his final resting place in the very heart of Santa Clara.
- Indulge in some much needed sun, sand and sea on the buzzing beaches of Varadero. You have a full free day here to partake in optional activities like dolphin watching, kayaking, stand up paddleboarding, swimming and chilling out on the warm sands of the resort beaches.
- By travelling on this trip, you’ll directly support our Intrepid Foundation partner, World Bicycle Relief. Donations provide school kids, health workers, and farmers in far-out areas with bicycles that provide access to education, healthcare, and income.

Cuba East. Wow! This trip surpassed our expectations. We are an active couple of 67-year olds, though our group age-ranged 19-75. Our guide Ranier was as knowledgeable and detail-oriented as one could hope, and supported by a well-organized Intrepid team. So happy to get out of the chaos of Havana and bike through other parts of Cuba. Biggest surprise: the food was wonderful.

My wife and I had never done an organized tour before, always going it on our own. We chose Intrepid for a bicycle tour of Cuba and the experience far surpassed our expectations! We will definitely travel with Intrepid again.

This was a special trip for myself and my husband. the reality of our cycling trip to Cuba exceeded all our expectations. The care of the Crew for our team, their historical knowledge and great senses of humour truly made it very special. Thanks Intrepid.

Thoroughly worthwhile and enjoyable trip. Never forced to continue if unwilling although everyone on our trip completed each day. Well run by specialists in the field, can't wait to go again!

Cuba Cycle East is a great way to see a bit of the real country, away from Havana and the resorts. The tour is very varied, every day is different. The cycling is challenging in places but manageable. We fell in love with Cuba as a result of doing this tour.

Intrepid’s cycling trips in Cuba are well organised and fun. Our tour guide Maurice and his back up team were a pleasure to deal with, couldn’t recommend this trip highly enough…

The team - Rainer, Danny, Ariel and Junior, particularly Rainer; their expertise, humour, friendliness and general warm and welcoming nature made the trip better than I could ever have expected. It was absolutely amazing and in the most part, it was down to Rainer's team. I cannot thank them enough. Cuba did not disappoint. It exceeded all of my expectations. I have been to some amazing places as part of this trip and met brilliant people. My knowledge of Cuban history, culture and society was enhanced greatly from this trip. Rainer, the tour leader, was outstanding in communicating information about Cuba's history, culture and society. Cuba has always been a destination I have wanted to visit, and this tour has exceeded my expectations. I loved every moment of this trip and felt excitement and happiness the whole time. The people and places were out of this world. Rainer and his team made this trip really special and I will never forget them.

Having never done anything like this before I'd definitely recommend this trip as as a really interesting way to get to know Cuba and have experiences you might otherwise miss. The tour leader Rainer and the whole team really made this an unforgettable experience and I learned so much everyone we met along the way. Really keen to continue learning about Cuba and to get back out on the bike.

This trip is a unique way to explore Cuban culture and history. Rainer (my group leader), Ariel (the mechanic) and Allan (the bus driver) where friendly, welcoming and extremely professional people. I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes cycling!

If you want to learn about and experience the history and culture or Cuba and understand why the country is how it is , this is the perfect trip to choose. If you are fit and do some pre training you will manage the cycling. We had the most awesome time. Thank you Intrepid.

We loved our cycling trip around Cuba with Intrepid. Cuba is a very interesting, and at times challenging, country to visit so having Intrepid plan it for us was brilliant. To be able to see so many different parts of the country was an amazing experience.

A perfect way to experience the main sights of eastern Cuba, while experiencing the authentic everyday Cuban life. Cycling allows you to breathe in the scenery and take time to observe and absorb your surroundings. Roads sometimes a bit bumpy but bikes managed all terrains well. A couple of hills but generally flattish terrain, gentle cycling speeds and distances, in the cooler parts of the day. Support and tour guide, Rainer, excellent: fun, sunny, approachable, provided historical and local knowledge, always willing to help and advise on good places to eat/drink/enjoy ourselves, catered for individual and group needs effortlessly.

This trip is fantastic. Maurice is a brilliant guide. Hugely well informed, passionate communicator, excellent leader. The cycling itinerary is well designed, varied and showcases a vast array of the country. The walking tours are also packed full of history and culture. The casa staff, Dayron our mechanic, and our driver are all first class. Cuba is fascinating. Complex, of course, but immensely worth a visit. Please go.

This was our third Intepid trip over the last 2 years , and this one more than met our expectations. Be prepared for challenges along the way as Cuba is a country unlike any other . Language, money matters , technology ,, they all make you work a little harder but is totally worth it. Our Intrepid leader Rainer helped us out all along the way. A great cycling adventure!
