puerto rico: Im planning a trip to PR is june of this year. Ive read other answers and would like to know any updated info on things to do. I will be staying in Vieques,Puerto Rico so I would like to know about that area and how far that is from San Juan (I read a lot about that place and would like to go their as well). PS. I dont plan on driving are there other safe, quick options for getting around?|||You can take two different kids of ferry's. One from San Juan-Vieques is more expensive like $45 one way, but it's faster and you don't need road trasportation to fajardo (like the second option, ferry from Fajardo to Vieques (more or less $5 one way). On the weekends the ferry's in Fajardo have long lines(especially to Culebra) so try to get there early. Your other option is to get there by airplane, there are several daily services provided from Isla Grande Airport in San Juan or Fajardo Airport. Some of these airlines are Vieques Air link & Flamenco Air(it mostly go to Culebra). One way they charge around $25 I think. When you get to the port in Vieques you can move around with many buses that they have available and they charge around $2, you can also rent scooters. good luck and have fun!|||San Juan to Vieques You could take a Ferry on Old San Juan at 8am at Pier 1,took like 40 minutes. But if not drive by car from San Juan to Fajardo (like an 1 to 1 1/2 to the east side) then take the ferry on Fajardo to Vieques or Culebra.The same to both side. So if you stay on Vieques take the ferry to Fajardo and then drive to Old San Juan. Take busses to go around (you said you dont want to drive). Or if you want take a small plane to old san juan.|||In Vieques, you definitely want to do a night-time kayak tour of the bio-luminescent bay. I did it a couple of years ago and believe me, it is an experience you will never forget. Have fun!|||If you stay in San Juan and I took tours. Day one................rain forest with beach Day two ............... all day snorkeling -catamaran trip Day three........... tour of old San Juan and rum distillery Day four............. trip to caverns with observatory day five............. take a break , read a good book Day six ............. horse back riding day seven.........city of Ponce tour in the south day eight........... night kayak at luminiscent bay day nine.............you better get back home If this sounds like a plan check out tourguide tito at tito60@hotmail.com|||you can take the "publicos"(taxis) there are 2 different kinds cars or buses.You really would have more fun if you had a car though...|||Vieques is amazing and the Bioluminescent Bay is amazing. However, if you're interested in doing this, you must look at the lunar states. If the moon is too bright, tours may not be running to the bay. Go to www.biobay.com for more information on when tours are running during the month of your travel. To reiterate what others have said, it can be difficult to get to Fajardo, so it's best to take a ferry or plane from Vieques to San Juan if possible.Once in San Juan, there are so many things to do. You can see Old San Juan, with its forts, shopping, and beautiful architecture. That is a great day or two days to do it all if you'd like. It can be expensive if you like to shop, but you can spend all day wandering and buy only food. Options for food in San Juan and Old San Juan vary. You can expect to pay the same prices in SJ as you would on the continent if you choose chains like Wendy's or Fridays. There are some great restaurants in Old San Juan that range from traditional to newer fusion foods, and many are excellent. Old San Juan can be done in one day, if you have a little time. Most people visit El Morro (one of two forts), the Paseo de la Princessa, and do a little shopping and eating, and walk some of the perimeter of the island past the Paseo. It's gorgeous. Vieques is amazing. You'll really enjoy your stay. Have fun!
