Hi there, We're staying at San Juan for a week and travelling to Vieques. What is the best mode of transportation to Vieques from San Juan? Is car hire cheap? Any advice please?
You can hire a car from San Juan to Vieques, or take a ferry or fly to Vieques directly - there are many transportation options available. But ferries are the major transportation in Puerto Rico, and you can go by ferry since flying is the most expensive, and car hire is also little expensive.
The most convenient way is travel by flight and you can reach within 25 minutes to Vieques from San Juan. Yes of-course it's expensive. But Puerto Rico ferries are inexpensive, and you can explore more beauty & natural side of Puerto Rico. You can plan for a day trip to both the islands - Vieques and Culebra. It only takes just 45 mins drive from San Juan.
