Different Ways To Reach Culebra Puerto Rico

Ferry boats run daily to Culebra from Fajardo (mainland Puerto Rico) and also from Vieques (Culebra’s sister island).  If you happen to be on Vieques then this is not a bad option.  If you are coming from mainland Puerto Rico then I think flying is the way to go.  This is especially true if you are starting from San Juan.

A flight into Culebra is one of the best ways to see this islands amazing beauty.  The planes fly low and you’ll be rewarded with tremendous sights.  Round trip tickets from San Juan to Culebra are about $100.  There are two operators I can recommend:

Air Flamenco is the largest carrier into Culebra.  They have several flights a day and are generally very reliable.  You can make reservations by calling (787) 724-1105

Vieques Air Link is the second largest carrier into Culebra.  Their planes are a little more comfortable.  They are also a little nicer about allowing you to take more luggage without charging you.  Air Flamenco charges luggage overweight if you have more than 25 lbs.

Getting around the island

If you want to see more than just famous Flamenco Beach then a rental car is a must.  There are few roads on the island and getting around is very easy.  Almost every main road ends on a beach

Carlos Jeep Rental is located right at the airport.  I have used them lots of times and it’s always easy and nice to rent from them. 

Thrifty Car Rental is fairly new to the island and is just a couple of blocks from the airport.  I have never used them but would think they are a good option as well.  Scooters are also available for rent at the airport.
