Getting To Cienfuegos

Cuban liveaboards diving in this region normally start at the port of Cienfuegos itself. Cienfuegos does have it's own international airport, serving a handful of overseas locations in North and Central America. It's much more common however for tourists to fly into the capital Havana, to the north of the island, as the airport there has flights arriving from across the globe - including Asia and Europe, as well as the Americas. From the capital it's a long drive, but the liveaboard operator can usually arrange this for you from Havana and transfer you to the port.
