Oh wow!! Thank you so much for that! I hope you have a great time in Vieques!! I’ve never been to Cancun but my perception is that it’s more of a party and resort vacation destination. Vieques is nothing like that, so keep that in mind when choosing where to go based on the intent of your vacation plans. If you want something more relaxing, then Vieques should satisfy those needs! If you end up going to Vieques, I hope you have a fantastic time! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷 and if you go to Cancún as well haha

Very well done. Very educational with a lot of useful information. While Vieques has a lot to explore, to me the best part is the bio-bay. It's an experience that's freaky, magical, memorable, and just plain cool. I advise to check the moon-phase, and choose the darkest time possible to maximize your experience. It always amazes me to say or to hear that there are 5 bio-bays in the world, and 3 of them are in PR .... including the best and brightest. Pretty amazing.
@BriksTravelGuides2 жыл бұрын
Yes! Totally agree! It’s hard to fully grasp what it feels to be in the bio bay. You have to be there to truly understand what it feels to have “shooting stars” lighting up your kayak. I loved to see fish lighting up in the water when they swam around! I would go back in a heartbeat.

This was so helpful!!!! Thank you! Friends and I are planning a trip for February. Is a golf cart feasible or do you suggest a car?
@BriksTravelGuides2 жыл бұрын
Hey Ann! So glad you think so! 🙌🏼🙏🏼 Both will work well, but you’ll take double the time to get to places with a golf cart. Also you wont be able to leave things in the golf cart while you go to the beach (if you leave things in a car, they shouldn’t be visible). But if you’re traveling light and don’t mind taking longer to get to places, a golf cart is a great option! Many people use them to get around. Just so you have an idea, in a car you take about 15 minutes from the ferry port in Isabel Segunda to Esperanza, and in a golf cart you’ll take 30 minutes. Hope that helps! 🙌🏼🇵🇷

Hey! If you’re visiting Humacao you’ll likely be staying and visiting Palmas del Mar which is a huge gated community where people live and have their vacations homes. I’ve visited few times for short periods so I don’t have many details, but I know that it’s kind of a bubble. You’ll for sure be safe there, but if you want to actually experience PR, you’ll have to get out of there. Also, keep in mind it’s an hour drive from Old San Juan, though it’s closer to the nice beaches in Fajardo/Luquillo and El Yunque in Rio Grande. Hope that helps a bit!

@BriksTravelGuides2 жыл бұрын
Hey Neeraj! Do you mean you just have one day in PR or one day of your whole trip that you’re not sure what to do? Do you have a car? Where (which municipality) will you be staying on that day? I might discard cueva del indio if you’re visiting with toddlers since it can be dangerous if you don’t have a close eye on them. Vieques and culebra are whole day trips so you’d need to wake up really early and probably take the last ferry back to the main island. The last I heard is that the Camuy Caves were temporarily closed (don’t remember why) but they were gonna open soon. Adjuntas is fantastic! You could visit El Mango (if it isn’t raining), eat at Re-Creos, maybe even relax at the plaza at night.

Can you see the bioluminescence before you kayak?
@BriksTravelGuides Жыл бұрын
Hey!! I would say you can’t since the area where you get into the water to see the bio bay is far away so walking there at night without knowing the way well will surely get you lost. Now, maybe you could find someone that drives you to this area to see the bio pay from the shore where the kayaks start. You’ll definitely be able to see it there, BUT you won’t appreciate the full brightness of the bioluminescence from the shore than from the middle of the bay on the kayak. If that’s ok with you, then definitely contact a tour provider to see if they have rates for not kayaking. Hope that helps! 😄🙏🏼🇵🇷

Thank you so much, Matt!! I think my favorite beach in Vieques has to be either Playa Negra (because of the contrasting colors)or La Chiva (because it felt very secluded and pristine. 😄🌊🇵🇷

Hey Lian! Glad you loved my video and it helped you out! I think Maritza Car Rental might have golf karts. There are several companies that rent them. Search online for “Vieques golf kart rental”. I don’t have the full info because I wanted to rent a car from the beginning so didn’t look into golf karts. Sorry I can’t give you a straightforward answer but I hope you find one and have a great time in Vieques! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷

We took the ferry it was fine. we booked our tickets a couple days in advance. We didn't plan for the taxi cost though from San Juan. Our whole trip to Vieques was spare of the moment but it was the highlight of the trip.

I am so sorry to hear about everything the people in Vieques had to endure. My heart goes out to them. When visiting the island if I plan to spend a day there, do you recommend that I do a car rental? If so, are there any agencies you recommend on the island? Do you happen to have a ball park for the pricing as well?
@williamferrante38552 ай бұрын
We pay $500 for a week using a utv style golf cart that is gas powered. In my position it is the best way to get around while going a decent speed. ALWAYS allow the locals to pass you since you go slower. We get from one end of the island to the other in less then 20 mins. Please visit you won’t regret it

@BriksTravelGuides2 ай бұрын
Hey! Thank you for your thoughts. The people of Vieques have definitely gone through a lot so the more people understand and respect them, the better. As far as transportation, it really depends on what you’re looking for. Golf carts are slower, you cant store items inside the car, but are cheaper. Cars are more expensive but you’ll be able to get from point a to b quicker and thus maximizing your time there. The company we used is in the video and also at the end I provided a cost breakdown of the whole trip. Hope that helps! 😄🙌🏼🇵🇷
