  Getting to Nueva Gerona
Jacques Cousteau 19th November 2007
Hi there,

I am going to Cuba in February and intend to visit as many places as I can. I would also like to get to Nueva Gerona which is located on Isla de la Juventud. Can anyone advise me what is the best way? I know there is an internal flights from Havana, but are there any alternative ways of travel?

I would like to get a boat from wherever, if it is possible.

Thanks

Hi

For getting to Nueva Gerona one of the ways is taking a direct fligh from Havana as you say (flying by Cubana Airlines). The other option is taking the boat (catamaran) that leaves from a place called Batabano, on the southern coast of Cuba. There is a bus leaving from the VIAZUL bus station in Havana that takes you there or you can take a taxi.

If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me on silvia@cubaism.com . I will be very happy to help you.

Silvia,

thanks for the reply. Any idea how much the boat from Batabano would be?

Hi

For getting to the Isle of Youth you can get the boat (catamaran) that leaves from a place called Batabano, on the southern coast of Cuba. There is a bus leaving from the VIAZUL bus station in Havana that takes you there or you can also take a taxi.

Kind regards,
