Who We Are

The name Absolutely Cuba says it all.

We’re passionate about this island. From the history to the people to the food and the culture — our passion for Cuba defines everything we do.

Over nearly a decade, through several short- and long-term visits to the island, our founder has immersed herself in all aspects of Cuban culture. At Absolutely Cuba we believe in imagining your itinerary through the lens of a local — not a tourist — perspective.

We support the local economy by working directly with independent business owners native to the island. We use travel as a vehicle to cultivate perspective shifts and a true understanding of Cuba and the Cuban people.

Whether you chose our private client experience or one of our pre-packaged trips, your experience with Absolutely Cuba will be one-of-a-kind, life-changing, truly memorable and Absolutely Cuba.
