Guayabo Falls

Reviewed By X6676ZYkarenk - Peterborough, United Kingdom

A long drive through the "real" country gives a wonderful experience and chance to appreciate the authentic beauty of Cuba away from the resorts. It is a long drive from the coast so be prepared to set aside a day of your trip to visit. That said, it is well worth the jeep ride down and offers some of the most scenic and breaktakingly beautiful views of the natural landscape. It really is out of this world. Take your swimming costumes along as the natural salt water pool and chance to go inside the waterfall is a highlight of this trip. An experience which appeals to adults and children alike and is one of the most family-friendly day trips out of Holguin. I felt that the lunch served in the restaurant was also one of the best meals I had during my time in Cuba, which was unexpected given we were a long way from the resorts. It was a peaceful and educational experience, which left me feeling I'd gained an insight into the true beauty of this country.

Superb, magical experience! I visited that wonderful place twice, back in 2015 and more recently with my parents. The group is usually contained with 10 + people and the staff make sure everyone has a chance to play and swim with dolphins. it is a must for the whole family!

We visited that beach on several occasions since 2015. Perfectly white sand and perfectly blue and warm ocean. Great for snorkeling. There are few places to get some food or buy some souvenirs.

Cayo Saetia Island

Reviewed By kathyhayward3 - Victoria Harbour, Canada

This island has amazing beaches with interesting shells. The surf was up the day we were there and it was great to watch the waves crash and splash high off the rocks. The food for lunch was very good. But the safari was the best. I didn't think we would really see many animals - boy! was I wrong! There are at least 3 different kinds of antelope, tiny deer, zebras, water buffalo, and even ostriches! They are all healthy looking and have great grazing areas. There were lots of all of them. The ride was rough in the truck so bring something to sit on.

Cristobal Colon Park

Reviewed By Mikethecoach - Sevenoaks, United Kingdom

The park is worth a half day or so visit. We got a taxi (1950s Ford) from our hotel - driven by Urli, a former guide and ex-Thomas Cook rep. His English is excellent and he's very knowledgeable; he also gave us a great price and was in no hurry. The park has many attractions, a native village recreation (you'll be met by Columbus himself) which has an archaeological exhibition and the site of Columbus' landing in the Caribbean. It also has a campasino homestead, a Spanish fort and an installation to mark the 500th anniversary of Columbus bumping in to Cuba. Urli can be reached from a mobile phone on, 0053 5262 9705.
