Beach Walks

Walking from Casa Stella Maris you can walk the beach for miles in
either direction. To the right a nice walk is to walk into the town
of Puerto Morelos, have a drink or something to eat at one of the
many restaurants and then to walk back. Wearing a hat, particularly
in the midday sun is recommended.

From Casa Stella Maris going left you can walk around the peninsula
to an area with hundreds of sea shells (the story is that they were
washed up during a storm). If you continue to walk you will come
upon a large scuba diving outfit, an Italian Resort and then a
Canadian resort where you might want to stop for a bite or a drink
before walking back.

Snorkeling

You can go snorkeling on your own right in front of Casa Stella
Maris the reef is about 200 yards offshore making an easy swim.
However unless you are experienced with the reef we suggest that you
go out with one of the tours with experienced guides in the town of
Puerto Morelos. You can take a two-hour snorkeling tour of the
Palancar reef for around $20 USD. There are several snorkel/dive
shops located in Puerto Morelos. Well worth the experience. For

charters are also available in Puerto Morelos.

There are several options for horseback riding nearby. One is within
a 15 minute drive. The costs vary as to what all you sign up for….an
estimate is around $40USD for a ride. There are rides into the
jungle as well as on the beach. Another trip goes only into the
jungle, includes lunch and a swim in a cenote (fresh water spring)
and costs $75USD per person for half day. There is no place to rent
horses and ride by oneself. You can sign up for trips at the travel
agency in Puerto Morelos.

Sport Fishing

There are sport fishing boats for hire which run about $150USD per
day for up to 4 fisherman. In Puerto Morelos, you may hire a boat
with its captain to take you out fishing. The cost for this runs
about $150USD and the boats can generally handle 4 fishermen. These
are small (25 foot) boats that are used by the local fishermen. The
prime time for fishing is mid March thru August. An annual Sport
Fishing tournament is held in May each year that attracts fisherman
from around the world. The catches include dorado (mahi mahi),
tuna, blue marlin, sail fish, barracuda, wahoo, and other edible
fish.

Kayaks

There are kayaks available to rent in town. These are designed more
for inside the reef as they are not ocean kayaks. They rent for
about $5 per hour.

Other area attractions

Nature theme parks of Xcaret, Xel-Ha and Tres Rios are but a short
40 minute drive. Activities include snorkeling in caves and
lagoons, diving, reef views, dolphin shows, jungle hikes and
horseback riding. At Aktun-Chen, near Akumal has natural underground
cave formations that make for a fascinating tour. The limestone
terrain makes up the Yucatan Peninsula and over millions of years
erosion has taken place giving way to hundreds of cennotes; natural
sinkholes in the limestone crust which reveal the subterranean
waters that flow beneath the region.

The Mayan ruins at Tulum, Coba and Chichen Itza are well worth
seeing. You should schedule a day for each of these. Tulum is
approximately an hour south and is a spectacular site which was a
large ceremonial site. Coba the oldest of the Mayan ruins dates
back to 600 AD and was once the home of some 60,000 inhabitants.
The ruins are spread over 50 sq. km and includes the tallest pyramid
of Mayan construction on the Yucatan Peninsula. Chichen Itza is a

comprised of ruins of two ancient cultures, the Mayans and the
