Full Description ?

Your adventure begins at 9:30 AM when a classic American car picks you up from the National Museum of Fine Arts. After a scenic 30-minute drive, we arrive at the pristine beaches east of Havana. Before jumping in, you'll receive a safety briefing and participate in light warm-up exercises to prepare for the swim.

Once geared up, we’ll head into the water to explore one of two legendary shipwrecks, depending on the day's sea conditions. You might visit the City of Alexandria, which sank in 1893 and lies 300 meters from the shore, or the SS Olivette, located 750 meters out. As you glide over these half-buried historic remains, your guides will share the fascinating stories of their roles in Cuban history. After about an hour or more of exploration among corals and colorful fish, we return to the beach to unwind with a fresh coconut. We’ll have you back in central Havana by 2:00 PM, fully refreshed and with memories (and photos!) to last a lifetime.
