ADVENTURES,
ACTIVITES, & ECO-TOURS
When
not relaxing or doing yoga, you can select from several optional day excursions
offered at Haramara including:
Marietes
Islands Snorkeling Adventure
The Marietes Islands ("Island of the Birds") are small islands
off the Pacific coast that are a dedicated wildlife reserve. Hundreds
of varieties of birds, as well as all sorts of ocean wildlife, populate
these uninhabited islands. Hiking trails and ocean caves are fun to explore
as well as observing the wildlife on the islands and off the coast. This
is also an excellent area to snorkel with abundant tropical fish and scenic
water caves on the beach.
For
this excursion, we will leave in the morning and be driven a few miles
up the coast to Punta Mita, a small village and one of the area's best
places for deep-sea diving, snorkeling and surfing. It is also renown
as having some of the best restaurants in all of Mexico. At the village
dock, you will be greeted by your boat captain and depart for the half
hour trip to the Marietes Islands Wildlife Reserve.
After a short tour you are free to snorkel the beachside as well as in
some wonderfully scenic caves.
