Cuba Trips with a Host


Check out our Cuba Trips Calendar page for more information on legal trips to Cuba.

Listed below is a small sample of Cuba trip providers who offer (or have offered) legal travel to Cuba trips consisting of Cuba tour operators, trip organizers, non-profit organizations, colleges and universities.

These Cuba trips offer a wide variety of Cuba culture to all participants via Cuba workshops, study programs, research trips and guided tours of Cuba.

Be sure to ask the Cuba travel host if you qualify to travel legally to Cuba with them. There are new Cuba travel guidelines from OFAC that were published on April 19, 2011 so more Americans qualify to travel to Cuba under a General or Specific travel license. See our OFAC information page at our sister site CubaLegalServices.com.

You may qualify to travel to Cuba with a General or Specific OFAC license with a Travel Service Provider or you can visit our list of non-US based Cuba trip providers but you must be legally qualified to travel to Cuba on your own license.

How do you know if a group's Cuba trip is legal?

If you plan to travel to Cuba with a host, you will be traveling under their OFAC license. You should ask for proof that your Cuba tour operator or Cuba trip host has a valid OFAC Cuba travel license.

If they claim to be traveling legally to Cuba under a General license, then you should ask to see their attorney's opinion letter saying that the organization is qualified to travel under the General license restrictions.
