Fully supported Cuba tours

Ride Bike Packing

I just wanted to mention this company that runs fully supported bike tours in Cuba. I was hoping to go in February 2024, but work travel has interfered and I’ll have to postpone until 2025.

Here’s some info from founders Lee and Beth Orphan:

The bike tour company Bicycle Breeze has been bringing cyclists to Cuba for over 20 years. The company has its roots in Canada and is now based in Havana. Tour leaders Lee and Beth Orphan have five-star ratings from past clients and have a large percentage of returning riders each year.

They have two tours planned for the upcoming winter both based out of Holguin so there are daily flights from Toronto at a good price. Here are links to the tour website for both options.
