This was a superb trip. The combination of great cycling, scenery, wildlife was very memorable. All the hotels were good quality and good locations. Food was superb throughout the trip, a bit too good as my waistline will attest! Wildlife did not disappoint, seeing monkeys, birds, crocodiles, dolphins etc, along the way - the only thing I missed was a toucan - heard them, but did not manage to catch a photo - might have to go back!.
Cycling was a bit hot some days - grateful for the warm rain sometimes! Stunning views in the mountains and forests. A couple of harder days with significant "undulations", but patience and encouragement from the team got us there.
The group we were with was great, a lot of laughter during the rides, and good company in the evenings where we had dinner together most nights.
The Exodus team were fab - everything perfectly organised and always ready when anyone needed help. Whole trip ran like clockwork.
Yanet, our guide, was exceptional because of his professionalism, in depth knowledge, wealth of information of his culture, and wicked sense of humor. This tour exceeded my expectations,. It was truly amazing and I experienced the "REAL" Cuba. The 9 Day Essential tour enabled me to engage in the people, food, music, history, and culture of Cuba, It was well planned with extraordinary experiences, constant communications and updates on our daily schedules and alternatives if wanted. ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! Thank you Linda Sydney, Australia.
Fantastic variety of parks with great company First time using Exodus which we found to be a great experience from start to finish, with the online presentations during covid giving us confidence in the company and were also extremely inspirational.
Our meetup for the briefing at the start of the trip gave us the opportunity to get to know our fellow travelers and cement the bonding of the group.
