Dylan was a great guide! Highly recommend! He drove us to Bufadora, and stopped along the way to take photos. He navigated us through the flea market, he recommended the best tacos. He stopped at the beach to let us swim, he was great!

    We had a nice trip to La Bufadora with David. We all practiced our Spanglish together. David told us about the area and was an incredibly safe and respectful driver both in the city and winding roads leading to La Bufadora. We independently did the flea market gauntlet and took our photos at La Bufadora. David patiently waited for us at the closest parking place possible. We had a great day and La Bufadora was totally worth it at high tide.

    Best Cruise Ever

    Gladys_G, Jun 2026
    Miguel was absolutely amazing!! He was punctual, welcoming, polite, attentive, full of enthusiasm and respectful. We had a group of six and we all felt the same way. He made great food suggestions, shopping advice and made additional stops at our requests. The tacos were delicious!! (thank you for the recommendation) We had cold water and a variety of drinks to choose from. Thank you for making our first experience a memorable experience. The sign was the perfect touch ☺️.

    Outstanding Tour Guides for a Super Fun Adventure

    Ann_T, Jun 2026
    We LOVED the tour guides in Ensenada, Migel and Aisha. They were so sweet and were able to shift in the moment to meet the various needs of our family. Some people wanted a massage, some the beach, and some returned to the boat. Migel and Aisha accommodated all three desires. Aisha serenaded the massage people as they returned to the bus. The bus was clean, decorated, comfortable and in good condition. They also had cold drinks for us and specific vendors we could visit at the flea market. AND, made sure none of us got lost! Migel and Aisha were easy to find, a beautiful well planned sign, and a darling hat for me!

    Bang for you buck!

    Ashley_G, May 2026
    The driver was great! Miguel was super friendly. It was a little hard to find the meetup location at the beginning of the trip, but once we did it was a smooth ride. Car was big and even had a car seat for my toddler. The actual Bufadora site was a little boring but the flea market was great. The cost of the private excursion was def worth the money paid. Also big bonus was they gave such a cute hat and sign.

    This is THE tour to book in Ensenada!

    Grant_B, May 2026
    If you’re going to Ensenada, this private tour with Miguel is THE tour to book. From pick up to drop off, the entire tour was tailored to our timing and preferred itinerary. We arrived in Ensenada on a cruise and Miguel picked us up at an easy meeting point, which was only about a 5-10 minute walk from our ship. Instead of going to La Bufadora right away, we asked if he could take us to Sunday Mass at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Guadalupe, about a mile from the port. He happily took us to church and waited for us outside. Afterwards, at our request, he took us to a very nice gas station convenience store where we had a lot of fun picking out drinks and snacks for the drive to La Bufadora. Once we arrived at La Bufadora, which is accessible by walking through a flea market, he gave us some useful tips on how to haggle with vendors. He asked us how much time we wanted to spend there and we chose to meet up with him in an hour. The flea market and blow hole are lots of fun. Vendors do accept US dollars. Make sure to haggle and don’t accept the first price. Also… be sure to bring small US bills and coins. All the public restrooms charge for use, about 75 cents to $1 US per person. We also mentioned to Miguel that we’d like to have lunch and margaritas. He took us to a great taco place in Ensenada. He took it upon himself to grab several tables and push them together for our group. He had us sit down while he took our orders and placed the order for us, instead of making us wait in line like the other customers. He served us our orders, along with some chips, guacamole, pineapple for the table. Afterward, he took us to one of the local bars that claims to have invented the margarita. It was a beautiful Spanish colonial building and the margaritas were huge. Miguel once again got us some tables and wiped them down himself. He got us back to the boat with plenty of time to spare. Miguel really went above and beyond to take care of us and make sure we had a good time. Even leading up to the event, he was super fast in responding to all of my questions. We loved having a private tour for our group and we can’t believe the incredible value— this was even cheaper than the large-group excursions offered by the cruise. Would highly recommend booking this!!

    Tamara_M, May 2026
    We took the private tour to LaBufadora. It was fantastic! Our guides were father and daughter. They were very accommodating and made sure we saw and did everything we wanted. They were very conscientious about our time frame and got us back to the port in plenty of time.

    Mathew_R, Apr 2026
    Our driver was great. He was prompt, informative, and extremely helpful. He wasn't overly talkative and had no problem making an extra stop on the way back. He even gave us advice on negotiating at the market. I would definitely book his services again.

    Exploring La Bufadora: A Relaxed Day of Coastal Views, Culture & Tacos in Ensenada 🌊🌮✨

    Joyce_G, Apr 2026
    Today’s adventure took us to La Bufadora, a natural blowhole about an hour south of Ensenada—and while it may not be the most dramatic one we’ve ever seen, it’s still a fun and worthwhile stop, especially if it’s your first natural blow hole.! 🌊✨ The journey there was just as interesting as the destination, quickly transitioning from city life to quiet agricultural landscapes, giving us a little glimpse into the local way of life. Our guide shared tons of insight along the way, making the experience feel more personal and informative. Once we arrived, we wandered through a lively flea market packed with vendors selling everything from souvenirs to unique local finds—definitely a great place to browse and pick up something special. And of course, no excursion is complete without good food…our guide pointed us to a taco spot that did not disappoint—fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious! 🌮🔥 All in all, it’s a perfect easygoing excursion if you’re looking for a mix of natural beauty, local culture, shopping, and tasty bites.

    The Best part of our Journey isn't always what we expect.

    DAVIDROBERT_W, Mar 2026
    We were slightly disappointed in the fact that when the water is at low tide, the spray is minimal. It was still very beautiful and worth the money we paid. The small flea market can be very aggressive in asking you to look at their stuff, but the prices didn't seem bad in what we checked. The bonus was our driver, Migel. He was helpful and informative. He took us to a wonderful taco restaurant for lunch. It is nice having someone who knows where to go that is clean, good, and cost effective. We had two couples wanting different drop off places. Migel was very accommodating. We cannot control mother nature and the high/low tide but this was definitely worth the price.

    Bufadora private tour a total delight!

    Stephen_A, Feb 2026
    So much better than the bus-load tours! Met by delightful, English speaking driver who whisked us over to the Bufadora well ahead of the ocean of tour buses. He was able to stop for photos at scenic overlooks, and helped us navigate the mass of street vendors and stores at the site. Afterwards, he brought us back to town for lunch and shopping. A delightful excursion!!

    Johnine_G, Feb 2026
    Miguel was a wonderful guide. He was thoughtful and answered all our questions. La Bufadora was a cool sight. The market was fun but don’t buy anything at the first price or you will pay way too much. You can barter and even walk away. Miguel took us to the best taco stand, absolutely delicious.

    Cyndy_P, Feb 2026
    What a wonderful trip, and worth the time going there. Our tour guide/driver did a great job driving us there and leading us to the viewing spot of La Bufadora. He gave us plenty of time to spend there. I appreciated having water and drinks provided on the trip.

    Our day in Ensenada with Miguel

    Barry_P, Jan 2026
    If you are coming in on a cruise; having a personal driver and guide is the way to go. Miguel was so kind and took us to all the places listed on the tour. He took us to a local place for lunch - food was amazing. Miguel also took us to a downtown bar that my husband wanted a T-shirt from and then a quick look out view before going back to the ship. Thank you Miguel for making our day stress free from pick up to drop off as well as sharing your city with us.

    Miguel was waiting for us exactly where he said he'd be and with a big sign (a very nice sign that was ours to keep). The van was large and comfortable, and Miguel was a good driver. We all appreciated that this was a private tour and we could take exactly the time at La Bufadora that we wanted. Also very useful: we asked where to get good fish tacos and were very happy with his recommendation.

    Miguel, our driver was very friendly. He provided a car seat for our 2 year-old, took us to a taco restaurant and down town area. We did not see any water shooting at the blow hole because of the low tide which I wish I would know before booking the tour and that's the only reason I gave a 4 star instead of 5 for this private tour.

    Bufadora is not what you want to see, you really need to know the time for the tide time, or it's just waste of time and money. Flea market nothing good.

    We really appreciate your comment, we are very sorry that your day at the blowhole was not spectacular, nature is sometimes incomprehensible, thank you very much
