Transportation in Culebra to Campground and Culebrita
Culebra, Puerto Rico

Hey all! I was wondering if I can get some help or suggestions! I am going to Puerto Rico for Spring Break and plan on going to Culebra on 3/19 till 3/20 with like 10-12 of my friends from the island. I know we have to catch the ferry at Fajardo, but where does the ferry leave you in Culebra? Is it close to Playa Flamenco or do I have to catch a taxi or van to get to Flamenco? and my other question was...I want to go to Culebrita, but is there any cheap way going there (12 people will be going!!!)? is there a ferry that takes you there? SHould I really make a reservation to camp now since its March and Holy week starts after that weekend? Let me know! I would appreciate it!

The ferry dock is right in town, most hotels are 5 minutes walking or less.
To Flamenco you will have to take a public trasport, ( 1.00 each ride ) I think all of them are Vans.
Culebrita is a most beatiful island east of Culebra, I do not think someone there has a boat and/or license to take more than 6 people in one ride.
That is because of USCG regulations.
The ride there, knowing the type of boats that are being used, will take close to 30 to 45 minutes one way, if you can get a faster boat go for it.
The charge for that ride should be near 45.00 per person.

Nice stay ...

The campground is near Flamenco Beach.
It is a long way from the Ferry Terminal.
I would suggest you rent a jeep with all those people who can share the cost. The Jeep rental people geneerally meet the people at the ferry solicitating customers. You should not need to have to make reservations for the Jeep. There is a bike rental shop right near the Ferry Terminal also, but the ride is hot and dusty. There is no ferry to Culberita, but maybe you can rent a boat. Beware of kyaking,etc. The waters have extreme currents, and the deep water is highly shark infested! The locals may deny it for tourist reasons, but believe me this is a fact.

I do not know to whom MONTE is referring to as locals... definitely not to the spanish speaking US citizens of Culebra/Vieques or main island. Maybe to some LOCAL business people either spanish or english speaking citizens, who may be interested in money more than life.
Puertorricans, value life more than money, and I feel insulted by the generalization of this ingnorant, racist.
If this was not his intention, he should offer explanation, and or apologiies.
It is true that the waters in the ENTRANCE to Culebrita, have sometimes strong currents, and also it is an area where many sharks have been seen by divers, and fishermen.
But to say that LOCALS will suggest or recommend tourists to visit that area on kayaks on behalf of money, is totally irresponsible. More over, I do not know of a spanish speaking business person, that rents kayaks, in Culebra.
My participation in this forum is honest, without economical interest, and I provide it to the best of my knowledge, since I have been boating the Culebra area for more than 21 years, and I could not stay silent before MONTE's statement.

Sincerely ,

Bringing your car in the ferry is a lot of trouble, a time consuming activity, and the loss of any insurance you may have.
Better call Carlos Jeep rental, or other of the good car rentals they have around.
Public transport is good during the day hours.

Nice stay...
