Such a great way to...
Such a great way to experience Ensenada! Dylan was a great tour guide! We got picked up outside the glass museum which was a 5 minute walk from our boat. He had a name sign and a complimentary hat for us!! So cool! We got a private vehicle, and he drove us to horseback riding. The horseback riding was about an hour, you get helmets, and the caretakers show you how to steer the horses. One will go with to help guide the horses! After that, we went to La Bufadora! Dylan took care of parking, walked us to La Bufadora, helped take pics, and then waited in the car while we shopped around. There are lots of stores leading up the pathway to La Bufadora. He then gave us the option to build the rest of our day, and we wanted meat and fish tacos. He drove us to two different spots, offered us water and sodas, and we got to our cruise port an hour early! He was very kind, the car was air conditioned, and he even let us play our own music! Best tour guide ever!!! Thank you for making us girls feel safe and comfortable.

DEFINITELY WORTH IT! 4 experiences in 1 tour!
The tour was amazing! Thrilling zip lining, La bufadora blowhole, Mexican flea market, and authentic food! Highly recommend; definitely book if you’re reading this! We had such a great time with our charming tour guide Eric. We got back with time to spare with no complications! He accompanied us on an authentic Ensenada experience. He took us to local restaurants and gave us real friend advice rather than tourism propaganda advice as we went through the busy market.
He was very knowledgeable about the history and it was interesting learning about the area and buildings. He left our group to explore by ourselves and we don’t feel rushed at all. Eric was a very pleasant guide to spend the day with. He spoke highly of the rest of his tour guide team that works for the company so go book with them! It’s worth it!

Had a blast!
Much better than booking through the cruise company. No waiting in lines or being stuck on long, crowded shuttle rides. The guide meets you right outside the cruise terminal. The rides through town and up the mountain were a blast. I’m in my 50’s and hadn’t been on a 4-wheeler in 25 years.
We were done by noon and my guide Homer drove me back into town with plenty of time to eat and shop before returning to the ship.
Would absolutely recommend this and would do it again.

Skip the Typical Tourist Traps & Do This Instead
Adriel was an incredible guide. My family and I had a wonderful time. It was so fun, educational, and relaxing! Though we went to 5 different stops, these were my Top 3: Tacos Fenix, Tequila Tasting, and the Plaza Contenedores. I was trying to pace myself on the food though it was our first stop, but really wish I ended up ordering more than 1 taco at Tacos Fenix. La Guerrerense was fantastic as well, though I think one tostada is probably enough unless you are a ceviche fiend. The Tequila Tasting was SO educational and SO fun. They were really generous with their pours and it helped my family appreciate true tequila so much more. I'd recommend skipping the lookout over the hill as it was a bit of a walk across broken glass and bits. Plaza Contenedores was a much better spot to get photos by/with the water and was much more relaxing. There were 20 of us family members on the cruise - some went horseback riding, some just wandered around town. When we all debriefed at the end of the day, everyone seemed to agree that our group that went on the food/drink tour had the best time out of everyone!

A great day in ensenada
Time well spent! Just the ride alone from ship to La Bufadora is 30-40 min but you get a good look at Ensenada and the surrounding area. Horses were great and beautiful and well behaved and cared for, able to run on the beach. La Bufadora is dependent on wave action, so if you can go on incoming or high tide, more spectacular. It is a funnel that channels the wave action, not a true geyser. The flea market scene there is hopping, hundreds of shops and stalls as you walk the gauntlet from parking lot to La Bufadora. Local delicacy is grilled smoked clams w chopped red onion pepper tomato shrimp with grilled melted white cheese on top. Served on big open clamshells. Wow. All this was thanks to Genaro our driver who knew everyone and everything - he lived 20+ yr in the States, perfect English and returned to his home town Ensenada! We see why!

Our cab driver Juan...
Our cab driver Juan Carlos was amazing. He was our tour director for the day. Mario's ATV was a great set up we were taken care of properly instructed a guided on a great trail in Ensanada. All 3 of us felt safe secure and quality ATVs were used for the trip. But it is very dusty wear clothing that can stand upnto the dust.

Great Massages!!
This customer service is top notch!!
We were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary on this Virgin Voyage Brilliant Lady Cruise & first to Ensenada. So through Viator I booked us massages. We had such a relaxing and aromatherapy massage. It was wonderful. Jimma was fantastic so I would highly recommend this service. After leaving the ship, the directions were very easy and we met our fan at the designated spot - less than 5 min walk. Our driver was very nice and helpful and recommended places we could go after our massage and dropped us off in downtown for shopping.

Highlight of our Trip! Great for families, kids of all ages!
What a GREAT time! Osmar and his crew took excellent care of us, incredibly welcoming and very knowledgeable of Ensenada! A local family experience! Las Canadas is an amazing area (it’s huge), full of activities for the whole family to enjoy. The shuttle was very clean and comfortable. You can spend the whole day here! Highly recommend doing the zip line and all of the suspension bridges and enjoy the local Mexican fare! We traveled with three teenagers and they loved doing this! 5 stars all around!

Great horses, great people and a great time
Jose was communicative as the dates got closer and arranged a taxi to pick us up. He told us exactly where to wait with pictures. The taxi ride was just fine with no issues. We got to the ranch and immediately greeted by Jose and his son. We were allowed to use the rest room and then they got us on horses right away and went over the simple commands for the horse. I rode with my 4 year old son and my wife had her own horse. The trail is easy to follow and lets you get the feel of the commands for the horses using the reins. Some ride along a creek then on to the beach. We rode along the shore, getting some trotting in. Got to the end and turned around and went back. The entire time they were taking videos/pictures for us which turned out great and we didn’t have to worry about it. Highly recommend. It was just us three, pretty much a private party.

Javier was our driver to...
Javier was our driver to the La Bufadora. We throughly enjoyed our time.He was on time picking us up from the port and from the La Bufadora. He gave us recommendations for tacos and things to do. We loved having him as our driver and made our time very enjoyable!

Great tour but pre plan your transportation
My son and I enjoyed the ATV ride. Efren was very friendly and a great tour guide. The scenary through the vineyard valley was beautiful and the place we stopped for lunch and drinks was nice. The only thing that was hard was transportation. You can get an Uber to drop you off but it was very hard to get an Uber or Taxi to pick you up unless you made arrangements for one to wait for you. But the price for this tour was pretty reasonable compared to others and at least this place did not require for you yo have 3 ppl or more. I would definitely do this tour again with other family and friends.

Beautiful views and a comfortable ride on the horses.
A lovely, relaxing horse walk along a beautiful, quiet beach. We were collected by Crystal near our cruise terminal in her car, it was super easy and comfortable. Alex was our guide with the horses and he was kind enough to take photos and a video of our tour which was sent to us by WhatsApp.
