“The Ensenada Excursion team was very friendly and helpful with booking the shore excursion in Mexico. Our guide was very informational while conducting the tours and had great customer service.

![Carnival Ensenada Excursions Review]()
We booked our Carnival Ensenada excursions through this comapny and it was a phenomenal experience from start to finish. We booked with a $40 depopsit to secure our guide. When we got off the ship our driver Javier was waiting with a personal sign with our name. The Kids loved it!

We are committed to offering you the best excursions at the best prices so you will thoroughly enjoy your shore day. We offer a back-to-ship guarantee, and free cancellation 24 hours before for standard tour packages.
LOCAL TEAM
Founded by an Expat, Cruiser and Baja Traveler Jesse, we prioritize a great travel experience. Jesse and the team all live here, love Ensenada, and care about our community. We are a small team, with real people and 100% profit stays in our community. Our website might not be as fancy, but we are nicer ;) Especially Ena our communications lead.
LOWER PRICES THAN CRUISE LINES
Our prices are often lower than the cruise lines, sometimes as much as 30% lower. You deserve to enjoy great local experiences without overpaying for them. In the cases in which our prices are higher, it is because our excursions are private, and the costs for a personal driver and vehicle must be included. Overall, you will have a better experience. You might find cheaper guys out there that don’t offer much customer support or pay local taxes.
PRIVATE TOUR JUST FOR YOU
Sometimes you don’t want a crowd, or a bus, or a line of other people. A vehicle just for your family and friends. When Jesse took his cruise, he noticed the ship was crowded and fun, and shore days were a great chance to get some space away from lines, crowded hot tubs, and noise.
HIGHER QUALITY
We are focused on personal, fun, and safe experiences. Our guides are locals with personalities. You can chat with them about life in Mexico, sports, tacos whatever. We believe that the conversations and the people are a big part of the travel experience we offer. Getting to know a new country or city is more fun through the eyes of a resident. And we have good jokes! Check our reviews for satisfied clients.
BETTER SERVICE THAN VIATOR
There are many tours on Viator and we even have a few. Keep in mind Viator takes 28% or more for marketing, so local drivers will be earning less, and often the disjointed communication leaves you waiting on the curb a bit calling them. Our team is there 15 min early. Some of our tours are indeed on Viator, and they are 28% more expensive there! If you feel better with them, book us there.
Custom options
Some members can ride along and sit out an activity.
Fit in more activities with early pick-up.
Stop at vegan/vegetarian places.
Wheel chair/walker/car seat options.
MONEY BACK GUARANTEE
