I used VAL for my trip to Vieques last week. It was a round trip fare leaving and returning to Isla…read moreGrande airport. This small airport is very close to Old San Juan and alongside the cruise port terminal. The terminal building is small but adequate with no food or beverage other than a vending machine. VAL has a 25 lb. luggage limit weight and then you pay $1.50 for every pound over that up to a max weight of 50 lbs. VAL operates Britten Islanders which are high wing 2 engine propeller planes that seat 10 including the pilot. You sit 2 abreast and are assigned your seat by your weight with the lightest people sitting in the back. From this airport it is about a 30 minute flight to Vieques flying about 1500 feet in altitude at about 110 knots. The flight is scenic and almost all over land skirting the coastline except for the last 12 miles being over water between the two islands. My outbound and return flights went smoothly and the staff was courteous and professional. Currently flights are $85 each way. Since the only other way to Vieques is by ferry leaving from Ceiba you have to get to Ceiba and then hope to buy a ticket on the ferry (which is very cheap) and then the ride over is about 45 minutes before you get to Vieques. Obviously flying saves a lot of time and is especially convenient if you are in San Juan. If I were to return to Vieques I wouldn't hesitate to fly again with VAL. P.S. this review is for flying out of Isla Grande (SIG) airport. VAL also flys out of Luis Munoz Marin (SJU) International airport which is the big airport in San Juan. VAL flights from that airport are more expensive but more convenient if you are flying into Puerto Rico and then want to make an immediate connection to Vieques.

Polite staff and friendly pilots. In my experience they have been great. No complaints. The…read moreadvantage they have over Air Flamenco is they fly to both Vieques and Culebra.

Officially called the Fernando Luis Rivas Dominicci Airport, it's best known as the Aeropuerto Isla…read moreGrande (AIG). You'll find three airlines here: Air Flamenco, Vieques Airlink, and Tax Aéreo. Carlos Jeep Rentals also has a booth here. I'm not sure when, but they put in new chairs that are more comfortable than the ones they used to have. Airport is clean and laid back. Staff is cool. Snack and beverage vending machines are the food options. Although, the airport is near Distrito T-Mobile and Gran Bahía Restaurant. Paid parking (I posted a pic with the rates). You can also take a cab or Uber to and from here. I really like flying to Culebra from here. It's in San Juan which makes it much more convenient than driving to Ceiba for the ferry or airport. That said, flying from here is more expensive. But I find it worth it because of the convenience. When we can fit it in our budget we prefer it. The trip takes about 30 minutes, maybe a bit more. The best part is the view. You get a great view of Old San Juan and Condado upon takeoff and landing. Plus the view of the northeast coast. Awesome.

San Juan Luis Munoz Marin Airport is the HUGE airport we all use to arrive on Puerto Rico, but if…read moreyou need to fly to some more remote destinations, you should bypass the SJU and go to Aueropuerto Isla Grande. To get to the island of Vieques, one has several options, and here they are: 1) Drive (or take cab) an hour to Fajardo and take a ferry 2) Drive/cab to fajardo and fly 3) Fly out of SJU 4) Fly out of Aueropuerto Isla Grande Options 1&2 require a long drive. I've heard the ferry can be very intermittent, and if you're going to fly, why not fly out of San Juan. Flying out of SJU is more pricey. This leaves Isla Grande. Yes, this airport is super small, but this is what makes it cool, unique, and more cost efficient. Yeah, you will step onto a plane, it is going to be a tiny plane where you can basically look over the shoulder of your pilot (I guess if you needed to, you could help him fly by taking the co-pilot's seat. Boarding is trouble-free and takes no time at all. The airport is also fairly close to Old San Juan, and a short cab ride. Overall this is the only real option for getting to Vieques or Culebra.

The title pretty much gives you a clear idea what the tour was about. It took us around San Juan. We saw different sights like the Antiguo Prision de la Princessa, the Paseo de la Princesa, Fuente Raices, Paseo de Los Presidentes, Castillo San Felipe Del Morro and many other sights. The driver did Mariza did a great job getting to the places we visited safely and timely. She did a great job navigating those streets and getting us as close to the places as possible so that we would not have to walk much. Our tour guide Aponte was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. He made the tour even more interesting than it already was. Great tour! I would recommend it for anyone who has never been to Puerto Rico as it gives you a good jumping off point to understand the history and admire the beauty of this beautiful island!

Also marketed under the name Tropic Thunder Tours. The 3 of us selected the Fly Puerto Rico tour. This is an 78 minute tour. You immediately fly over Old San Juan with amazing close up views of the castles and Goverment buildings. From there you head inland to the central mountains. Excellent views of steep cliffs, water falls, and country living for the locals. Next you head to the Arecibo Telescope. Excellent view of the now collapsed structure. From there, you head to the ocean. The final leg of the tour is a flight up the coast. Amazing views of the beach's and numerous coves and rugged shoreline. Also spot various marine life: turtles, manatee, rays, etc. We felt very safe during the tour. Our pilot, Ernie, was an army pilot in Iraq, Afghanistan, and South Korea. He also spent time as a pilot for oil rigs and medivac . There is nothing he hasn't experienced. He is also super nice. Highly recommend the tour.

I have been on quite a few tours and Geroge hands down has been the best tour guide. 14 people in our group. He was attentive to all, engaging, and educational.

The admin was seamless. After we booked, we immediately got a text to confirm pickup location. We got a text with instructions and the waiver do we were prepared for pickup. Then the morning of George called us when he was on his way.
