Everything You Need to Know
-
If you need to catch the late ferry back to the main island of Puerto Rico, you must book our 6:45 PM tour and coordinate your transportation with us in advance. Please also contact the company ahead of time to confirm that your chosen tour meets our minimum participant requirements. Failure to coordinate these details may result in an unexpected overnight stay in Vieques, as later ferry options may not be available.
If you think you will arrive late or feel lost, please call this number immediately: 939-426-8561. Do not wait until after the tour departs, as this will be considered a no-show and no refund will be provided.
For assistance with scheduling, transportation, and tour confirmation, please contact us in advance to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience.
⚠️ Important:
- All tours require a minimum of 8 participants to operate.
- Ferry tickets must be purchased in advance. Tickets often sell out early and may cause you to miss your tour if not secured ahead of time.
