    Jibacoa Travel Advice

    Best time to go to Jibacoa

    If you like it hot, jet off to Cuba between November and April, when the mercury creeps towards the 30s. There's a little more rain in the summer months, but it’s usually blue-sky days and rain at night. The sea stays nice and toasty all year round, too – expect water temperatures to hover around 26°C. Just so you know, August to October is hurricane season in Cuba. Thankfully, though, they’re pretty rare.

    Passports & Visas

    British citizens must have a valid passport to visit Cuba. You’ll also need a tourist card. For the most up-to-date passport and visa info, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/cuba/entry-requirements

    A Cuban tourist card must be purchased prior to departure, otherwise you will be refused boarding in the UK. Tourist cards can be collected in person from the Cuban Embassy in London, or can be applied for by post. Further information and the application form can be found on the Embassy’s website- http://misiones.minrex.gob.cu/en/united-kingdom. When booking, please ensure there is enough time to obtain the tourist cards via your preferred method, prior to departure. 1 tourist card will be required for every member of your party, regardless of age.

    If you're travelling to Cuba as part of a Marella Cruise itinerary then different information applies. There's a visa requirement for Cuba, but you don’t need to buy one before your cruise. For cruises departing before 31st December 2019, the visa cost is incorporated in to the price of your holiday, and for any cruises after this it will be charged to your onboard account at a cost of around £15.

    Health & Safety

    Owing to sanctions in place in Cuba, supplies can often be more limited, which means that certain everyday items may not be as readily available as you would expect at home or other holiday destinations. People come to this great country for its picture postcard beaches, the all year climate, the friendly Cuban people and colonial Havana. Also, you should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance to cover you while you’re away, as you’ll have to show a copy of it when you get to Cuba.
