Throughout the year we will be offering several trips, during which we will visit some of the ministries that we support to deliver humanitarian aid and get to know our Christian brothers and sisters in Cuba. These trips are a wonderful opportunity, particularly if you haven’t been to Cuba before. staff will accompany the team. We arrange all lodging, transportation, and itinerary.

It was a very rich experience as the trip covered a lot of different humanitarian and educational aspects. It was great to be exposed to so much spirituality, such as at the churches and during their worship services. It takes a lot of professionalism to organize a trip like that. ~Betty Polina, Eckerd College

Our International Tours are structured so that your group can collectively gain a firsthand experience of people, churches, and ministries involved in issues important to your group. We facilitate meaningful exchanges with people who form the religious, medical, social, and cultural fabric of the society and region visited. Through these informal and formal interactions, our participants come away with an informed and enriched understanding of the hopes, accomplishments and struggles of people from diverse backgrounds. Your group will have the unique opportunity to travel to various cities, towns and small village communities to dialogue with those involved in issues important to you: from health, education, humanitarian, social and religion.

Our diverse itineraries always incorporate meetings, on-site visits and interactions with church leaders, seminary professors, doctors, lay leaders, farmers and representatives from various religious groups. Quite simply, we make it possible for your group to create fulfilling connections with the individuals and communities you meet while enjoying the natural beauty of the country and respectfully savoring the local culture in many of its manifestations.

Our Customized Tours program offers an alternative and increasingly popular form of humanitarian travel or mission trip, exclusively tailored to the particular interests of your group. Whether yours is a university or high school class, a church group, a group of professionals or a group of like-minded people, International can organize your tour.

We create tours for a wide range of groups and organizations. Some of our past customized group participants have included members of established churches, various private universities, high schools, and chapters of nationwide organizations.

I like to take time alone with God and really just focus on blessing strangers, going alone to Cuba allowed me to freely travel to the ministries. ~Stephanie J. Kelso, Nashville, Tennessee

If you would like to have the freedom of traveling on your own and choose how your time would be best used on your humanitarian trip, can provide the humanitarian license for travel to the island. We work closely with a travel agency that helps make arrangements for our individual travelers.

I loved participating in this summer’s Cuba team trip! I had the awesome opportunity to meet new people and not have the fear of roaming the island alone. The staff at explore international were so helpful and really helped me understand all that I need for a successful trip to Cuba. ~Hilary Duff, New York City, New York

Religion Tours
While our ministry already provides aid to Christian ministries and is supportive of their goals, a Religion Focus mission would provide an opportunity to explore in depth the various Christian Communities in Cuba.

Write or email our Trip Coordinator to discuss the needs of your group, where and when you would like to go, and what your group would like to accomplish. Because our schedule fills up quickly, and in order to ensure that we have sufficient time to plan and prepare an exceptional program specifically tailored for your group, we ask that you give us as much advanced notice as is possible: four to six months for destinations to the cities other than Havana or Santiago de Cuba.
