We had a great time! Our tour guide Alex and our driver Pablo did a great job. We did ATVs, they took us to great fish tacos and then we finished with a fantastic massage. Best of all, they brought us back to the port in plenty of time. 10/10 recommend.

Excellent service and value. This was so much better than the cruise organized excursion. We were on our own timeline and the driver, Fernando, was so accommodating.
Getting to our driver was relatively simple. We had to work through port security to the bridge...maybe 7 minute walk. Willie took photos and told us about Ensenada. He even took us to authentic places to eat!
Jesse and Ena at Ensenada Excursions are professional and easy to deal with. They handle all the details and make you feel secure about planning your adventure. They had our driver - a nice young man named Alfonso - pick us up near our cruise ship. He took us to Pai Pai where we had a great time interacting with the animals there. Our driver took care of the tickets. We just went into the park and enjoyed ourselves. Next he drove us to La Bufadora and acted as our guide there. The drive along the coast is beautiful. Afterwards he recommended a taco place - very tasty - and then showed us around town and took us up to a lookout where we had an excellent view of Ensenada, the hills and the port. I can't say enough good things about Ensenada Excursions. They will tailor any tour to whatever you want to do in Ensenada, and they are a good value for the money. Please consider using them for your next trip to Ensenada. Let them do all the planning so you can relax and enjoy your day there. :)
This was relaxed and fun. Our driver Victor was there for us early with a sign. He was very professional and let us set the pace. We were the only ones at the ATV place and got a 5 km private tour from ocean and sand to hills and spectacular views. ATV was in good condition and easy to drive. Watch out for scam artists at Bufadora- bring cash if you want to buy anything and get prices up front. It was worth every penny to be in a private tour and not have to deal with a big tour group. Victor got us back in plenty of time for the cruise departure.
Great experience! Excellent communication letting us know where to go and how it will all work. We did the Zipline and horse riding, and was very fun! Would definitely use them again!
We had an amazing excursion with Jose, who took us to La Bufadora and all around the town of Ensenada. If you are considering booking this service, do yourself a favor and specifically ask for Jose! Here is why he made our tour so great: Incredible Guide: He was incredibly knowledgeable and seemed to know absolutely everything about the city's history and culture. Comfortable Ride: His vehicle was spotless, comfortable, and very clean. Insider Tips: He went above and beyond by giving us excellent advice on how to save money when purchasing our souvenirs. I am so glad we chose this excursion instead of staying on the Carnival ship or doing a cruise-sponsored boat tour. Jose truly made our trip memorable!
It was easy to find our driver.
My mom and I booked a custom, private tour last minute. Like, a couple hours before meeting our guide. I was amazed and pleased they were able to accommodate us on such short notice! The meeting point was easy to find. Chuy was a dream! We wanted to see La Bufadora and dip our toes in the water at a nice beach. Chuy played us music and told us his story on the long drive to the blowhole. The weather was perfect! Chuy gave us some tips and tricks for navigating the walk to the blowhole, and we followed everything he recommended. We shopped and drank and spent about an hour taking pictures and getting custom made on the spot souveigner bracelets. Then we walked back and ate delicious tacos at Lidia's! Chuy drove us back to Playa Hermosa beach and we ran around and played in the water. We really enjoyed the entire experience. We will recommend your company and you will see me again!
Our tour guide, Sebastian was amazing! Definitely recommend asking for him. He was super kind, and watched over us & he made sure we enjoyed our visit to Ensenada. We went horseback riding on the beach and stopped by for some delicious tacos. $70 was the admission fee. Our horseback riding was about 45 minutes long, the view was so breathtaking, definitely recommend this excursion for families or even with friends!
