8 day cruise around the islands of Cuba from Cienfuegos

Embark at the base of Cienfuegos, and after completing check in, set sail on this first day of your cruise around Cuba for the small beach of El Tamarindo. It is just a short distance from Cienfuegos bay and you will have the chance to enjoy a spot of snorkeling, swimming, or simply relaxing and sunbathing on the beautiful sandy beach.

Enjoy a relaxed breakfast on board, and then head in the direction of the spectacular Cayo Guano, which will take you around 6 or 7 hours. Make the most of this time and try some fishing as you sail, to make a delicious lunch! You can anchor around 30m from the shore and enjoy swimming or snorkeling in the warm turquoise waters.

On this third day of your holiday, discover the beautiful island of Cayo Sal, which will take you around 2 hours of sailing. This island is home to an incredible coral reef with many different species of fish, langoustines and sharks! You can also visit the incredible natural lagoon in the middle of the island which is now a striking salt lake.

Today another stunning island awaits you, and after just 4-5 hours of sailing you will reach Cayo Largo. Make sure to head straight away to Playa Sirena, truly one of the most beautiful beaches on the south coast, with incredible white sands and plenty of water sports for you to enjoy! Also don’t miss visiting the turtle aquarium, and then spend the evening in one of the many excellent restaurants and bars along the sea front.

Day 5 of your cruise around the islands of Cuba takes you to Cayo Iguana. This island can in fact be reached by a dinghy. Here you will glimpse these magnificent prehistoric creatures in their natural habitat! Enjoy a relaxed lunch on board your boat, and then set sail to Cayo Hijo de los Ballenatos, one of the most breathtaking islands in this part of the world. Observe the incredible variety of sea creatures swimming in the waters around your boat!

Today we head in the direction of another spectacular island, the beautiful Cayo Rosario, which is although largely uninhabited, it is home to an exceptional variety of widlife and tropical vegetation. Relax and take a moment to observe the colourful fish and the banks of coral reefs under the turquoise waters. You may also be lucky enough to sample some of the delicious local delicacies and fish which the local people often sell on small market stalls on the island.

Your cruise around the islands of Cuba is almost drawing to a close, so on this 7th day of sailing we will head back towards the island of Cayo Largo to make a stop-over at the Punta del Este. Enjoy a special dinner onboard and savour the wonderful atmosphere for the last time, before your retun journey to Cienfuegos in the morning.

On this final day of your sailing trip, it is now time to make your return to the base at Cienfuegos. Enjoy the last day of sailing in these beautiful waters!
