Team & About Us

 Sunny Vinales Tour was created for loving Cuba, literally! We are a Polish-Cuban couple and we want to show you the best of Cuba, the better she has to offer you, but also the backstage of this «Real Cuba». The programs and activities as well as “experiences”, have been organized in order to know Cuba inside, but in confortable conditions. Besides, our inspirations are base in recommendations and reviews of millions of travelers.

During our tours we talk about everything, but we are aware about the fact that Cuban reality is only possible to live it by living in the Castro’s brothers Island. Luckily, we don’t cheat on; we don’t sell expressions like «Discover the Real Cuba». Every single Cuba you see is real; beauty and ugly, clean and dirty, poor and rich. Cuba is diverse, hard to understand and this still been the biggest fascinations and challenge to the visitors of the Pearl of Caribe.

Which is the best way to explore Cuba?

We planned our first trip together …let’s visit Cuba! Only then we realized of how difficult is to travel to Cuba by your own, even for a Cuban! Firstly, it is much more expensive.

Secondly, is not possible to reach many places without your own vehicle. It is even harder for those ones who don’t understand Spanish, because nobody speaks English. I have visited over 40 countries and I always have been a supporter of independent traveling, but Cuba is the first country I consider should be visited with an experimented companion, with the capacity and knowledge of all that happens there. We will see and experiment more while we save time and money. Paradoxically! Because even when Cuba is a poor country, sadly is expensive, sometimes, very expensive so, we should be prepare for that.

Why Sunny Vinales Tour?

Many people returns disappointed from Cuba and we understand them. We only know you can’t discover this Island by yourself, and all the less comprehend it. Neither is possible to know Cuba from a Hotel perspective because is like not to be there.

We give a great concern to your way of traveling. Every time we organize a program of expedition, we don’t do it random for you to find it good and sell it even better. There are a few points very important for us, for Cubans and for the participants in our expeditions, such as:

  • Respect for the life style and Cuban culture.
  • Respect for the nature.
  • Great energy as group link to individual interest.

How do we put all the above in practice?

  • We will learn the Cuban history and the social situation to understand the current posture of the Island, to avoid been ignorant travelers. This is our priority: We go to Cuba to have conscience of where we have been.
  • We visit different places that allow us getting known the Cuban society and we respect their rules.
  • We organize and propose those attractions that are in harmony with the nature and the wonderful climate of Cuba; where there is a lot to look after, because Cuba has the most preserved ecosystem of whole Caribe.   
  • We eat in places where the food is served and prepared with love; therefore, the taste is very unusual for us.
  • The time of the tour is split out in a common and individual interval. We have fun together as a group, but also we give space to those ones who want to have their own way of tasting Cuba. In addition, we schedule individual attractions in case that anyone wants to head off track for a while.
