I flew over on Air Flamenco in early December for about $120 round trip. The option of taking the taxi to Fajardo then the ferry didn't appeal to me as I've heard it's quite an odyssey that can leave you waiting around for hours and I just wanted to get there. While I found the flight cost pretty reasonable, there is a weight restriction of 25lbs, which can be tough to meet if camping. There was also an issue in that Air Flamenco seemed to have forgotten about me and one other couple. However, it did result in an impromptu flight and no charge for the extra weight! Yay!
Be prepared, if you fly, that when you get off the plane, it may be a little more challenging getting a ride as the taxis don't really hang around that airport (at least not later in the day). I stood at the side of the road for about 30 min with a couple girls from the Netherlands and some chickens. Just keep an eye out for the white vans and try to wave them down. Someone will stop. Maybe wave a bill....works in other countries. Just remember that everyone's on Caribbean time, which translates to 'no one's in a rush'. You get used to it.
