North America Snorkeling Trips

Snorkeling near Playa Larga and Salsa class both really great fun. That cocktail in the wellness Viñales restaurant was pure joy. The Museo at Playa Giron and Che Guevara Memorial both really interesting and motivates me to learn more about the heroes of Cuba. The dawn hike and guide in Viñales was awesome and both Viñales and Trinidad, with live music, were really enjoyable. The whole trip was so great!!

I think Cuba as a whole is obviously going through a rough patch. I think it would’ve been good to have a clearer heads up on the conditions ie. The blackouts and how frequent they are, instead of saying there’s ’limited’ cash I think we should be told there’s literally no opportunity to get more cash. We felt like the whole trip we were needing to watch our money because once we ran out there was no getting more. I think the trip notes sort of tip toe around the reality of what is happening in Cuba. I think considering the conditions Nelson really tried his best to make the trip memorable, he is very passionate about his country and that really shows in how he guides his groups.

Travelling around Cuba with G Adventures was a fantastic experience. I learnt a lot about the culture, history, and natural landscape of the country - from a very knowledgeable CEO. A group trip is definitely the best way to experience everything Cuba has to offer.

Information provided regarding currency and atm/bank availability was out of date to the detriment of multiple people on our tour. Instructions were that ATM availability was spotty, and that any of a set of currencies would be exchangeable to local currency. In reality, ATMs were completely unavailable and only USD/EUR were acceptable in most places. I wish gadventures had provided more up to date information before the trip so we could be better prepared.

The tour was amazing and very comprehensive - we learnt a lot about Cuban history, culture, politics, and way of living, thanks to our incredible guide Jackson who was really knowledgeable and a pleasure to have. We explored lots of interesting cities, had some half days at the beach, a hiking day in the mountains, and danced salsa too. The group was really nice and friendly. Really happy with the format and itinerary of the tour, and would totally recommend! Last, it was the perfect chance to do a digital detox, and reflect on things we take for granted.

I went in February, which was the perfect time to escape the cold weather back home. This tour struck a great balance between exploring ancient Mayan ruins, learning about local culture, and experiencing the incredible biodiversity of Belize. Walking through the ruins was like stepping back in time—truly awe-inspiring to see these structures that have endured for centuries. Our accommodation in Guatemala was conveniently located right next to Tikal, making it ideal for the sunrise hike since it was an early wake up. The final few days were spent on Caye Caulker, which was the perfect – true highlight of the tour, relaxing way to end the trip. We enjoyed the beautiful beach just steps from our lodging and had some unforgettable snorkeling experiences.
