Cuba Vacations for Families When to go. Although May to October is tempting as it is the lower season and deals to Cuba are plenty, it is also the hurricane season, avoid Xmas and New Years as everything is at a premium and there are no real deals to be had. January to April is the optimum time to travel as you avoid holiday traffic, the rainy season and the prices are still very affordable.

Where to go. There are many resort areas in Cuba but for families, I would recommend Varadero or Holguin. Varadero is the main tourist area of Cuba and has the most to offer in the way of family activities. Day trips can be arranged to other areas of the island that offer an entire selection of land and water activities.

Besides the traditional water sports, activities, and entertainment around the resort, Cuba has a whole world of adventure off the resort, hiking, biking, swim with dolphins, sailing, snorkeling and a host of outdoor activities await you family at every part of the island.

Cuba also is home to some of the best nature reserves and Natural Parks in the Caribbean that are teeming with flora and fauna for photography lovers. UNESCO has designated many parts of Cuba as heritage sites and are perfect for the natural history lovers.

What to expect. A family vacation in Cuba or for that matter, any vacation is what you make of it. The beauty of Cuba is that it can be as quiet and relaxing as you want but there is such a vast selection of activities and adventure that you can also be occupied and active 24/7. Overall, you can expect perfect beaches, friendly locals, hot sunny weather, smiles on the kid's faces and memories that will last a
