The Caribbean's biggest island offers all the pleasures associated with this part of the world:
sun, sea, sand and a laid-back atmosphere, but with a difference. For Cuba infuses your senses, from the rhythmic rumba to the sexy salsa, wherever you go in Cuba, dancing is a must. Cuba is a place of surprises that will probably be like nothing you have experienced before, but adopt that essential relaxed attitude, light up a Havana cigar, order a Cuban rum cocktail or go and enjoy a days fishing. Whatever you want to do, that special Cuban vibe will get under your skin and make a holiday that’s like nowhere else on earth.

Havana, is the capital of Cuba, it’s a place of beautiful colonial buildings with splendid faded grandeur. Here you’ll find some of the best Spanish colonial architecture in the Americas, much of it untouched since it was built! Take a walk down the many safe streets and gaze at the splendid shop windows and brightly coloured street stalls. You may even find a bargain to take home. Cuba is also famous for its cigars and no trip would be complete without a visit to one of the major cigar factories, where the method of hand rolling has remained the same for over one hundred years.

Aside from its fascinating culture and Caribbean hospitality, Cuba has long been synonymous with some of the finest fly-fishing and diving in the world. Angling Direct Holidays have aspired to bring together the most exclusive areas of the country combined with a high level of service in what are logistically complex environments. We offer a wide variety of options to accommodate fly fishermen and their spouses from La Tortuga, Halcon, La Reina, Las Saline's and Caballones in Jardines de la Reina, to Hotel Rancho and Perola on Isla de Juventud. We are also excited to announce the addition of a new land based operation and a new live aboard on Cayo Largo. Whether sight casting to giant tarpon or diving with sharks Avalon allows you to experience the essence of Cuba in the height of comfort.

Jardines de la Reina , Cayo Largo and Isle of Youth are major island chains off Cuba's Southeastern Coast, that run east to west in the Caribbean Ocean; very similar to the Florida Keys. With our Cuban partners we have an agreement with the Cuban Government which gives us exclusive rights to all the flats fishing in these areas. A vast offshore wilderness, where you will never see another angler most days, other than people in your own group. Anglers are fishing in a huge, exclusive and most importantly protected area, as they are all inside Marine Parks. Many of the good flats are fished only once every couple of weeks or even less, and there are places that have still never been fished by sport fishermen. With this much water to fish, the Cuban guides are able to spread the fishing time around so it is easier for the fisherman to catch, in comparison with more heavily fished destinations.

Cuba offers the best Tarpon fishing of the world, one of the best for Permit and without any doubt the best Bonefish on earth in size and numbers. It's also very common to catch Snooks, Jack Crevalles, Snappers, Barracudas and many other species.

What our customers have to say: "What a country, we just loved the people and the Bone fishing was nothing less than spectacular." Robert and Clive billingsworth "Made us the perfect family holiday, combines the remoteness of Zapata with the beaches of Varadero, sun, sea and top fly fishing." The More Family "The advantages of the virgin Bonefish fishing far outweighs the basic accommodation, If you want to catch Bonefish this is the place. thanks you again." Robin Carver
