Cuba, the amazing island in the Caribbean Sea welcomes you to a “once in a lifetime” tour. Whether you walk the historic streets in Havana, Trinidad or Santa Clara or you are riding your Harley-Davidson® while passing scenic villages, riding on coastal roads, dining in private Paladars, Cuba is like being in a time capsule. After the revolution in 1958 the world in Cuba stopped and took a new and winding road, to where it is today. Cuba has not denied its past and you will find many examples of this, just look at the old and famous American cars, and the buildings in Havana or Trinidad. Many names of streets and hotels are still the same as before the revolution. In Cuba you will find some of the friendliest and hospitably people. All interested in where you come from and what you think of their wonderful country. Our tour guides in Cuba are all passionate “Harlistas” riding their Harley’s from 1958 and older. These guys know all the scenic roads in Cuba and will gladly gui de you thru them. On our tours, we will visit the Province of Pinar del Rio, famous for their tobacco plantations and production of tobacco leaves.

The City of Trinidad is one of the cities on the World Heritage site list and of course, we will spend some time there. In Havana you will have time to visit the famous places in Old Havana. In the rural country side farming is still done as 50 or 100 years ago. Depending on where you are in this western part of Cuba, the farmers grow tobacco leaves, bananas, grapes, rice and even coffee. We have a huge network of friends that takes us to places where something is going on. Local knowledge is the best way to find experiences you would never get on your own. So come on, join us for this adventure of a lifetime, in a world you could never imagine.

RIDING & LODGING
Traffic in Cuba is slow, and on the Cuban highway “Autopista” you will meet not only trucks, coaches and cars but also horse carries, bicycles and lost cows and pigs. We never go faster than we have time to stop and enjoy. The hotels we stay in are all carefully selected in their location and standard. Since Cuba is surrounded by water, this is where many restaurants get their “dishes” from. Tropical fish and Langoustines are served in many places. Pork and rice is the common man’s food, but even that you will get served with fruits and vegetables and it will be a delicious dinner, accompanied by the local beer, Bucanero. Today in Havana you will find restaurants with the finest Canadian imported meat, vines from France, Spain, Chile and South Africa.
