“They run a top-notch organization. We booked and saved a lot compared to the cruise line price for comparable excursions, plus we were able to go to other places at our leisure. We went to La Blow hole, flea market, the Pai Pai Ecotourism Park, out for some tequila tasting and a wonderful lobster lunch, and then wherever we wanted around town, all for around half of what the cruise line wanted just for La Bufadora. Our driver was very pleasant, professional and knowledgeable about the area. Arturo is actually out on the ground checking on all his tours during the day and helping customers. We ran into him at La Bufadora and that is when he told us about the lobster specials at a nearby restaurant. I cannot recommend this company high enough as this only allows for 5 stars and he operates a 10-star company!

“I went on a Carnival Radiance Cruise with 2 friends at the end of August and I was so lucky to have found Ensenada Excursions from a Facebook group! All of their tours are private for your group which is so awesome and it feels like a real local experience since you're in a standard vehicle, instead of a giant shuttle bus with a hundred other people. We booked a trip to La Bufadora and our driver Jose was fantastic. We got off our cruise ship and met up with him about 8:45 so by the time we got to La Bufadora right as vendors were opening and it wasn't crowded at all! It was perfect. Jose was a great driver and pointed out the best place to have lunch and suggested a location for tequila tasting. We had about 2 hours at La Bufadora and Jose checked on us about an hour in, which was very nice of him to do. Since we started early in the morning we had a lot of time to kill after our tour duration, so Jose was nice enough to drop us off at the main street area for even more shopping. I was blown away with the level of customer service both before and during the excursion. Highly recommend booking through them for an affordable and private Ensenada tour!

This excursion was the highlight of our trip! The guide was courteous, friendly and prompt. The horseback riding on the beach was amazing! It’s a beautiful, quiet, private beach the guide was helpful and polite. Their recommendation for tacos was an amazing spot! Best tacos I’ve ever had. 100% would do this again! La Bufadora is not to be missed!
