From dancing in Havana’s plazas to slow mornings with strong coffee and seaside sunrises, this is Cuba beyond the postcards.

Why Choose SoFe Travel?
Built for Solo Women
Every trip is designed specifically for solo female travelers. That means no awkward third wheels, no feeling like the odd one out—just instant community, shared values, and support from Day One.
Real Connection
Almost everyone arrives solo, and 92% of our travelers stay in touch long after the trip ends. It’s not just a tour—it’s a chance to make lifelong friendships in some of the world’s most unforgettable places.
Space to Breathe
We build in solo time, always. Want to wander a market alone or skip a group dinner for some quiet? Go for it. Prefer a travel buddy? There's always someone ready to join you. You do you—with the comfort of community when you want it.
No Forced Single Supplements
Forget the extra fees. Our roommate matching quiz pairs you with a like-minded traveler, or you can upgrade to a private room if you prefer your own space.
Is The Cuba Tour Right for you?
Traditional Accommodation
Expect a mix of boutique hotels and local guesthouses that show you real Cuban life. Rooms are cozy with quirks like low water pressure or spotty Wi-Fi, but that’s part of the adventure. If you value character, color, and warm hospitality over luxury, you’ll love it.
A flexible itinerary
Cuba doesn’t always follow the clock—and that’s part of the charm. From power outages to impromptu music in the street, the best moments are often unplanned. While we have a solid itinerary, flexibility is key.
Yes, Americans can go to cuba!
No matter your nationality, our team will help you navigate Cuba's unique entry process.
Your Cuba Itinerary
Day 1 - Havana Heat & Sunset Mojitos
Arrival in Cuba, guesthouse check-in, optional group dinner, first taste of Havana nightlife
Bienvenidos a Cuba! Your adventure begins in Havana, a sultry, sexy city where salsa beats pour from open windows, sweet-smelling cigar smoke permeates the air, and colorful, crumbling buildings stand frozen in time.
We’ll pick you up from the airport and escort you to your accommodation, a cozy, family-owned guesthouse within easy walking distance of prime Havana hotspots. Join your group for an optional dinner out and your first Cuban mojito while the sun sets over the sea.
We recommend arriving by 3pm. If you’re earlier, no worries — we’ll hold your luggage while you get acquainted with Cuba’s vibrant capital city.
Meals: none
Day 2 - Colors, Cathedrals & Countryside Charm
Old Havana walking tour, Fusterlandia art stop, scenic drive to Viñales, home-cooked dinner with a view
Learn about Cuba’s rich culture and complicated history as you explore Havana on foot with a local female guide. You’ll see all the city’s must-see spots, including the Havana Cathedral, Plaza de Armas, Basilica of San Francisco de Asis, Plaza Vieja, and Central Park.
Enjoy a bit of solo time to explore and grab lunch before we head to Fusterlandia, a whimsical neighborhood filled with one-of-a-kind mosaics. Created as a passion project by local artist (and the “Picasso of Cuba”) Jose Fuster, this once-rundown community is now an outdoor gallery of childlike fantasy.
Afterwards, hit the road for a scenic drive to Viñales, a picturesque gem tucked deep in the Cuban countryside. For dinner, you’re invited into a local woman’s home with stunning views of the valley. While Cuba’s resorts have long been infamous for subpar food, homemade Cuban cuisine is healthy and delicious.
Later, you’ll have some free time to explore the historic town center, where multihued colonial houses and charming cafes line quiet, tree-lined streets.
Meals: breakfast and dinner
Day 3 - Cigars, Salsa & Sunset Sips
Farm visits, coffee tasting, roll-your-own cigar, cocktail class, salsa dancing, farm-to-table dinner in Viñales
Today, you’ll soak up picturesque views of mist-covered hills, rolling tobacco fields, and coffee plantations dotted with straw huts in the lush valley of Viñales. This area is one of the agricultural hearts of Cuba and feels a million miles away from the sweaty hustle of Havana. Start your day weaving through local farms and sampling a freshly roasted brew of the region’s deliciously rich coffee.
Next, meet with a local tobacco farmer and learn about the cigar trade from planting to curing to rolling — then try your hand at rolling your very own Cuban cigar to keep. In the early afternoon, unwind with some quiet solo time before rejoining your group and guide for a hands-on cocktail class and salsa dancing lesson. Dinner tonight is at a woman owned local farm for an organic, farm-to-table meal featuring local ingredients.
Meals: breakfast and dinner
Day 4 - Snorkels, Sunsets & the Pearl of the South
Bay of Pigs swim + snorkel, road trip to Cienfuegos, seaside strolls, live music & mojitos at sunset
Time for a road trip with your new travel friends! Your first stop is the Bay of Pigs, the infamous site of a botched CIA attack in 1961. While the region may be best-known for its notorious political history, it’s also an area of pristine beauty, where white sand beaches meet shimmering turquoise waters, and world-class snorkeling can be found in its shallow reefs.
Get a brief history lesson from your local guide, then dive into the water for a swim and snorkel amid tropical fish and colorful coral. Then, it’s back in the van and onwards to Cienfuegos, the “Pearl of the South.” This beautiful seaside town is known for its stunning French-inspired architecture, leisurely pace, and friendly locals. Enjoy a bit of solo time or join others in your group for an evening out on the town.
You could choose to watch the sunset from a cigar bar along the waterfront, indulge at a chocolate and coffee café, or sway to sultry beats at one of the many live music venues.
Meals: breakfast and lunch
Day 5 - Pastel Streets & Salsa Nights
Explore colonial Trinidad, visit a local museum, sunset in Plaza Mayor, optional cave bar dancing
After a short drive this morning, we’ll arrive in Trinidad, a UNESCO World Heritage site nestled deep in the mountains, where modern street art mingles with candy-colored colonial architecture. Follow your guide down the cobblestone streets and uncover the history of this enchanting city where every turn looks like a postcard.
After lunch, you’ll visit one of Trinidad’s many iconic museums and learn about the region’s unique culture. This evening, you’re free to explore at your leisure. Maybe join the friendly locals in Plaza Mayor for a chat, a cigar, and even a game of dominoes. If your feet are itchy, there’s an underground cave bar that’s perfect for practicing your new salsa skills late into the night!
Meals: breakfast and lunch
Day 6 - Waterfalls, White Sand & Wanderlust
Scenic hike to Salto de Javira, swim at the falls, beach time at Playa Ancon, free evening in Trinidad
Trinidad offers the perfect mix of city, beach, and lush mountain scenery — and today you’ll get to enjoy all three! First, we’ll embark on an moderate, but extremely rewarding, hike to the Salto de Javira waterfall.
Take a dip in the picture-perfect swimming hole at the base of the falls, surrounded by towering, rocky cliffs. After, relax at beautiful Playa Ancon, where brilliant, turquoise waters meet soft, white sand.
This evening, you’re free to explore on your own or with your travel companions. Trinidad’s pretty palm-lined streets are a photographer’s dream, so don’t forget your camera!
Meals: breakfast
Day 7 - Revolution Roads & Rum by the Sea
Visit Santa Clara & Che Guevara memorial, classic car ride along the Malecón, Revolution Square, free night in Havana
Today we’ll journey back to Havana, but with a stop in Santa Clara along the way. Santa Clara is most famous for its revolutionary landmarks, including the Che Guevara Mausoleum, where he and other fighters are laid to rest. Join your guide on a quick walk around the memorial to learn about the history of the revolution and how it continues to shape Cuba today. Then, it’s onwards to Havana, where you’ll hop into one of those classic convertibles you’ve no doubt seen cruising around town!
Take a ride along Havana’s beloved Malecón, a sprawling esplanade where ocean waves crash up and over the sea wall and locals gather at dusk with bottles of rum. Then, head over to the famous Revolution Square, one of the largest city squares in the world and where the Castros have addressed the Cuban people over the decades. Your evening is free to explore on your own — enjoy the city’s up-and-coming food scene, then maybe grab a mojito or daiquiri at one of Havana’s cocktail bars where Hemingway famously used to haunt.
Meals: breakfast and lunch
Day 8 - Roots, Rhythm & Reflections
Afro-Cuban culture tour, Santería tradition, Rumba performance, local lunch, farewell dinner with the group
For our last full day together in Cuba, we’ll learn more about an essential piece of Cuba’s identity: its Afro-Cuban culture. First we’ll visit Barbara’s Power, a local Afro Cuban clothing store aiming to create African-inspired fashion in Cuba. You’ll meet the owner, who will explain the purpose of her project: to help other entrepreneurs earn an income for marginalized women and to reclaim the image of the black woman as beautiful and powerful.
Next, we’ll continue to our Afro-Cuban religion tour in an artist’s home. While Cuba is mainly a Catholic country, it still holds tight to African traditions brought over by enslaved peoples to the Americas. Learn how many West African traditions, including religion, language, music, art, and food, have merged to form Cuba’s spiritual practice of Santería. Join a local artist in their home for a drink, a chat, and a delicious Afro-Cuban lunch.
Watch a vibrant performance of Rumba, a powerful, passionate dance style created by enslaved Africans in Cuba in the 16th century. For your final evening, enjoy a farewell dinner with the group and share your favorite memories of captivating Cuba!
Meals: breakfast, lunch, and dinner
Day 9 - HAsta Pronto, cuba
Final breakfast, check-out, airport transfers, hugs, and heartfelt see-you-soons
Today we say our goodbyes — but with plans to stay in touch! After breakfast, we’ll check out of our villa. Whether you’re heading home or continuing your travels, we’ll help you arrange transport to your next stop.
Meals: breakfast
HAND-PICKED ACCOMMODATION
It’s extra important to support locally owned businesses in Cuba, where small businesses and non-government owned properties are not typical. Many of the accommodations are called Casa Particulares, which are people’s homes that they open up for guests. Each Casa or Casita is different.
Since we aren’t staying at hotels, people’s homes often don’t have a website or even a proper name. Rest assured, our guides know the owners very well. We have been working with these guest houses for many years. You’re in good hands.
Here are photos from our collection of favorite Casitas and Casa Particulares to give you a sense of the accommodation you can expect while traveling in Cuba.
We match you with your most compatible roommate
We get it—sharing a room with a stranger can feel like a gamble. That’s why we’ve partnered with a professional matchmaker and psychologist to create a bespoke roommate matching quiz, designed to pair you with someone you’ll actually click with.
Whether you’re an early riser or a night owl, a social butterfly or someone who values quiet time, our quiz helps ensure you’re matched with the best possible roommate. And if you prefer your own space, you always have the option to upgrade to a private room.
No stress, no awkward surprises—just a trip made better by great company.

KIMBERLY D.
“I would definitely book another trip with SoFe travel. I’ve used other travel group trips in the past. I found the Cuba tour to be VERY organized, yet flexible and accommodating.”
MELINDA G.
“What an amazing experience! I was connected with amazing, interesting and fun female travellers – some with years of experience, some just starting their solo travel adventures. It was the perfect group to explore all that Cuba had to offer with.”
JORDYNN H.
“As an American, Cuba has always been a place that’s intrigued me, but hasn’t been too accessible due to political reasons. The Cuba Meet-Up Tour made the mysterious island open to discovery; not just spending the day in Havana on a cruise ship, but actually immersing into the country and it’s culture.”
LIZ N.
“Our tour guide Yummet was terrific and the other women on the trip were tons of fun. I found the Cuban people to be warm, resourceful, resilient, and creative. The trip was well organized and ran smoothly.”
KIM M.
“Yumet was amazing. She took excellent care of us. She planned fun days along with days with historical learning. She was attentive to our needs and was always ready to adjust the itinerary when plans couldn’t go forward. She gave up her personal time to join us during our outings on our personal time. I have travelled in other groups with other tour companies and I have never had a guide that was as much fun and as attentive as Yumet! Please keep bringing her back for your future groups.”
LEAH C.
“My favorite part of the trip was our stay in Viñales! I loved touring the coffee and tobacco farms and the beautiful country” scenery.
