Isla de la Juventud by boat
Isla de la Juventud by boat
Bus from Ciudad de La Habana (Estación Central de Ómnibus) to Batabanó (Habana province, south of the capital): 5 CUP for everybody (Astro bus). Go to the small ticket office of the NCC company (hard to find, better ask where it is) in the Estación Central de Ómnibus. You get a reservation for Batabanó (if you pay in CUC, you'll have reserved places so you this reservation is a guarantee to leave) plus a ticket for a right to go on the bus (you pay inside). I'm not sure about the bus leaving hours, but they seem to be in the morning (09:00-12:00?).
The boat ("Kometa" catamaran) costs 50 pesos per person (25 for children of less than 12 years of age):
50 CUC for foreigners
50 CUP for locals.
No reservations needed to go to the island. Best to buy a ticket with one day in advance for the return (or you'll have to wake up at 5 A.M. to leave at 12 A.M.). 1 to 2 boats daily, excepts on Sundays.
The trip isn't a experience per se (modern, long, highly cooled air, can't go on deck...).
No bicycle can be brought on the island. Knifes and the such must be checked in (free, secure and minimal loss of time).
