An easy boat tour to go snorkeling and swimming with captive dolphins.

My experience, Explo description: 

About 1km north from the Marina Gaviota, there is a spot where you can go snorkeling and swimming with captive dolphins.

My personal recommendations: 

You should take advantage of this tour to go till the San Pasqual Ship Wreck. About 5km from the spot. Much more expensive, but it is worth it.

How getting there: 

The boat is located about is about 5km (west) from the Marina Gaviota (Tel : 35-00-13). This is the islands main marina where you can rent boats, sea scooters, and organize tours (snorkeling, swimming with dolphins, cruises, fishing). The marina is adjacent to the Villa Las Brujas hotel and about 2km (W) from the aiport entrance.

You can go to Cayerias del Norte by plane (1 flight per day from La Havana to the islands’ airport called « Airport Las Brujas ») or by car (about 5hours from La Havana). These islands are linked to the coast by a 40km long dike called El Pedraplen. By car, you will need to pay a 2CUC fee at the entrance of the dike (and again when you exit). There is a gaz station opposite to the airport. I advise you go by car because once you are on the island, there not many transportation means.

A tip to eat: 

Take a pic nic ! There is a little bar at the marina where you can buy sandwiches.

A tip to sleep: 

Sleep at the Villa Las Brujas hotel. (About 80CUC). This lonely hotel has lovely lodges, is human, far away from the other crowded touristic resorts. The hotel has a nice private beach. You should make a reservation as soon as you can. (Tel : 35-01-99).
