Vieques Travel Forum

I will soon travel to Vajardo and am wondering where is the best place to find local art and crafts to bring home. I know there is a ferry traveling to both Culebra and Viques but am wondering if these are the best islands to travel to buy these crafts. I really would like to experience these local customs while in town. I will be there oonly four days in February.

This is a two part question. Are there any sailboats that do sunset sails on Vieques? Also, can anyone recommend a massage therapist or spa on the island?
Thank you!

I have read that May is one of the rainiest months on Vieques but does that mean there is no sunshine or that the sun shines between showers. We usually travel to the caribbean in May but obviously we want to have decent weather when we visit Vieques. Thanks!

All 9 of us will be arriving in San Juan after a long day of traveling. Are there any recommendations (relatively inexpensive) for traveling from San Juan to Vieques? Some airlines can't take all of us, and I've heard so many different stories about the fares and travel time to get from San Juan to Fajardo that I'm not sure what to expect on that route.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I am looking to rent an apartment/studio in Esperanza for mid-March. I looked into a rental called Abella CasaMia that has a studio apartment upstairs and a 3-bedroom house downstairs. Has anyone ever stayed here or know anything about it?

OR if anyone has any suggestions on a place that fits the description of what I am looking for:
A place w/ a kitchen to sleep two people for 4 nights
Preferably in Esperanza
No more than $95/per night

Thanks for you help!!!

In 1987 we spent a week at a fairly primitive state park campground on Vieques. It was about a half a mile south of Esperanza. I think it was on Sun Bay.
Does anyone know if it is still there?
Thanks in advance.

I'm traveling to San Juan in Sept of 05,a cruise and then a week on Vieques.
I'll need a car while in San Juan and one on Vieques so my question is should I rent on at both places or simply drive to Fajardo and ferry one to Vieques and back? Looking for advice and remember "I ain't no rocket scientist" LOL...
Thanks for any help,

Vieques Air Link does not seem to be contactable via phone or online reservation, can anyone tell me if its ok to get into San Juan and buy the ticket then or are reservations ahead better?

Hi!

My fiance and I are getting married Nov. 12th and are hoping to go to Vieques for our honeymoon! We were bummed out to learn that November is hurricane season. Is the weather there really bad mid november, and would we get any time in the sun?

Thanks a bunch!

Hi...my husband will be staying in San Juan mid-January. We want to visit the Bio Bay in Vieques, but don't want to stay the night in Vieques. From what I can tell, the last ferry/flight out of Vieques back to Fajardo or San Juan is around 5pm, which means we wouldn't get to see the bay at night time. Does anyone have a suggestion for getting from Vieques back to San Juan later at night? After dark? Thanks!! We desparately want to see the bio bay!!

I RETURNED FROM VIEQUES ON OCT 12TH. IT WAS MY FIRST TRIP TO THE ISLAND AND I PLAN TO RETURN IN DEC. I USED VAL AIR FOR MY RT TRANSPORTATION. THIS TIME I WOULD LIKE TO TRY THE TAXI OR VAN FROM SJU TO FAHARDO AND THE FERRY TO VIEQUES. HAS ANYONE USED THAT TRANSPORTATION, AND DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS ABOUT IT. SUCH AS TOTAL TIME INVOLVED-COST -COMFORT ETC.
THANKS

I don't seem to be able to rent a car while I am in Vieques. Should I not go?

Is it possible? I would really love to see the biobay @ night and return to the mainland about 1030 pm. I am staying in San Juan for only 3 days, 3 nights and have already booked my hotel there. I have heard about the biobay before but did not realize it was in Puerto Rico. Has been something I have always wanted to experience. Any info you can give about returning to the mainland late evening so I can experience the biobay in its full glory would be greatly appreciated!
thanks,
