Was given great recommendations on what to see in the the short amount of time coming from a cruise ship. Jose was a great guide and everyone was easy to work with. Will definitely use again and recommend using. read more

From the communication with the office staff to the driver (Pabalo) that picked us up our experience was spectacular!!! We did the beach horseback riding it was so beautiful and so worth it. Definitely recommend. If I could I would give them a 10+ STARS! Especially Pabalo so friendly. Thank you read more

What a wonderful experience! Booking was so easy, great communication among staff. Driver was friendly and helpful, shuttle was very clean. It was about aa 45 min drive to our destination (zipline/ATV). Both activities were so worth it! All staff were very professional, safe, and even took pictures for us during the activities. I highly recommend! I will definitely be booking with them in the future again. read more

Fabulous massage, pickup and personal tour guide! Took us all the way up the mountain! It was awesome!

Our driver was friendly and knowledgeable of the area. He stayed with us the entire day which made us feel safe throughout our excursion.

Highly recommended. Jesse and our driver Willie provided us with great service. They were accommodating and very polite. Our kayak and atv excursions were so much fun! To finish our triple activity, we did a couples massage and it was was super relaxing to end our day in Ensenada. We would book with them if we come back to Ensenada ! read more

Jesse was so accommodating and he and his staff worked to ensure we got everything we wanted and expected during our time in Ensenada. We were picked up near the port and transported to our destination. Even with a booking error, Jesse made sure we were set with almost 4 different excursions requests. Great price and customer service! Will be a repeat customer whenever I find myself in Ensenada in the future. read more

This is our first time on a cruise (Carnival Radiance) and to Ensenada, Mexico. Instead of booking excursions with the cruise, we did a little bit of research and came across Ensenada Excursions and Tours. We filled out a simple questionnaire on the website. Within a day or two, Ena reached out via email providing a quote and full itinerary. We are really big on planning and Ena answered all our questions patiently and promptly. We ended up booking kayaking at La Bufadora, ATV, and tequila tasting. For a private tour, the price is affordable and reasonable. A few days before the cruise, they emailed us again to confirm the itinerary and provide detailed instructions on where to meet. The day we arrived in Ensenada, we were able to get off the cruise a little earlier than expected, but David (our driver) was already waiting for us with a welcome sign and a big smile. Even though English is not David's first language, we had no problem communicating. We arrived at La Bufadora early, but the kayak guide took us right away. David recommended Lidia Tacos Grill right by the kayaking place because we were hungry, and it did not disappoint! The tacos were so delicious. We then went to ATV. Don't make the same mistake I made... definitely bring along some eye protective gear when riding an ATV. To conclude our day, we stopped by Dona Engracia for tequila tasting. Our guide was not messing around with the shots. We had so much fun and ended up taking at least 8 full shots (as far as I remembered...) per person. Every stop along the way, David waited patiently, greeted us warmly, took pictures for us and shared fun facts around Ensenada. He made us feel safe and would remind us of the time and our schedule, reassuring that we were doing fine and would make it back to the ship on time. It was such a fun experience and I highly recommend Ensenada Excursions and Tours. read more

We had a great time on our excursion. Our driver was ready and waiting for us and they were able to provide booster seats for our kids. We liked being on our own schedule rather than herded around by the cruise excursion. They also have so many options that you can really get the kind of excursion that you want. read more

I booked the horseback riding on the beach and Labufadora and we had a great experience. The only problem we had was the weather, it was too cold and we didn't bring thick jackets! Tomas was our driver and he was very nice. We had our own private car and we didn't have to wait for anybody else. He dropped us off at the pier early which is great. Thank you! read more

I went on a cruise and one of our ports was Ensenada. I decided to go with Ensenada excursion over booking an excursion through the ship due to limited availability though the cruise line. I did some google searches and this company came up. I am so glad I came across this website. I was a little worried about booking an excursion online but everything was great! The communication via email was fantastic. My fiancé and I decided to do the Bufadora kayaking excursion and it was so much fun (we even got to see a sea lion up close!) From the very beginning directions were extremely clear and easy to follow. 1) Our drivers name was Willy and he was friendly, accommodating, and made us feel safe the entire day! He picked us up near the port and to our kayaking spot (we even stopped for some snacks along the way). He also recommended the best taco place in town. 2) our kayaking tour guide was Leslie and she was fantastic. She stayed with us the entire time (it was our first time kayaking in the ocean) and we were literally the only three people near the bufadora the entire time, it was awesome. On our way back we saw the cruise ship kayaking groups with easily 20+ people (we definitely think we got the better start time and accommodations ). If you're wondering if this is worth it, it definitely is! read more

Thank You All! Shout out to my guy Arturo! Thank you for such a seamless experience. Everyone was professional, your staff was excited about our tour and very helpful. Everything went as planned, as you told us it would. The ATV experience exceeded my groups expectations. I will definitely be using you again in the future and passing your tour (link) along all travelers I know headed your way. Thank for being flexible and getting my daughter and son in law with us after they missed the bus ride. I can't say enough on how please I was with our experience.  Thank You Thank You Thank You! read more

We recently used Ensenada Excursions to take us to Valle de Guadalupe. They were super accommodating with whatever we wanted to do. Our driver Zayola was on time, and was very friendly. He even drove us to an amazing taco shop and a churro shop on our way back to the ship. Highly recommend! read more

I booked the horseback riding excursion for Ensenada Excursions through Cruise Brothers Shore Excursions. It was a great excursion! Our tour guide stayed with us walking through the village market to get to La Bufadora geyser. It was amazing! The horseback riding on the beach was relaxing and fun. It was a beautiful beach! read more

My family and I had such a great time. The driver was amazing and the communication from the company was even better. We were able to learn along the way to our excursions. Our driver made us feel safe and was very knowledgeable. read more

We wanted to go zip lining, but the cruise ship didn't offer that excursion. Looked online and that's where I found Arturo Godinez from Ensenada Excursions. What a class act! He picked us up about a 5 minute walk from the ship. He was driving a very comfortable clean taxi and was a very courteous driver. Arturo is friendly, great sense of humor, and very knowledgeable about the area. He pointed out landmarks and we really enjoyed his company. He waited for us at each excursion and we never felt rushed and were very comfortable leaving our belongings with him for safe keeping. They offer package deals that are way more affordable than the cruise ship pricing. You can customize your day to whatever strikes your fancy. We got the feeling that Arturo would be a chameleon and could make any group, from a girls trip to a winery, a family to the zoo, or just a fun loving couple like us feel at ease. We will definitely contact Arturo the next time we are in town! '. read more

I went on a Carnival Radiance Cruise with 2 friends at the end of August and I was so lucky to have found Aruto and 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! read more

First time in Ensenada on a cruise and booked this tour online instead of the cruise shore excursion seeing all the wonderful Yelp reviews. Online booking and email communication was excellent from Ena during and after the booking. A forty dollar deposit is taken at booking. Clear instructions were provided on where to meet the driver on arrival at the port. Ask the company for a recommended start time and they will provide their recommendation. Met our guide Oscar outside the port and he was waiting with a sign with our name on it. Oscar was the best. Even though his English was not great, he managed to communicate very efficiently with us using his phone. He has been in Ensenada for a long time and that shows in all that he told us along the way. Great stories from Oscar about Ensenada and Mexico in general. It was great chatting with Oscar all along the drive. It is a good 45 mins drive to the zip line. Oscar took pictures and videos whenever he could which will be sent to us a few days later. Oscar took us to the blowhole after the zipline and gave us good tips on places to eat tacos, what and how to haggle at the shops and how we could spend our time there. He gave us an approximate time to get back so that we had ample time to get to the boat. The company guarantees on time arrival back to the port terminal. Another 50 mins drive back to the port with a lot more stories along the way. The customer service was amazing, let your guide know if you need to stop for shopping or anything. Extremely knowledgeable and they know the ins and outs of the city. You pay cash at the end of the trip and they also take Zelle(with an extra fee) if you need it. If you dont have data on your phone, even that can be arranged by them. Overall my family loved our time in Ensenada and it is all thanks to this wonderful company and Oscar. Thank you Oscar, Jesse & Ena for a wonderful time. read more

Arturo runs a top notch organization. We booked with him and saved a lot compared to the cruise line price for comparable excursions, plus we were able to go other places at our leisure. We went to La Bufadora, swap meeting, the Pai Pai Ecotourism Park, out for some tequila tasting and a wonderful lobster lunch and then were ever we wanted around town , all for around half of what the cruise line wanted just for La Bufadora. Our driver was very pleasant and 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! read more

Looking to go out on an excursion? Contact Arturo, he will take you around and wait while you go out on your excursions, avoid the busses. Very helpful and knowledgeable about Ensenda. Better deal that ship prices too. These are pics from the La Bufadora flea market which leads you to the blowhole, horseback riding by the beach and ziplining. My family enjoyed and we left with good memories of each excursion. read more

We just got back from our first cruise. We heard great things about Arturo and Ensenada excursions and tours. He customized our day and made our day in Ensenada great. Atvs, wild animal place, blow hole and flea market all for a GREAT price. He even took us to for a quick drink at Papas and beer before getting us back to the ship. Arturo Godinez is "the man". Thanks for being our private tour guide / friend for a great day. Thanks for everything. We HIGHLY recommend Arturo read more

Found Ensenada Excursions on Google i ended up doing La Bufadora and a Couples massage with my partner. my Driver Jose Luis was amazing had so much knowledge of the city very attentive on making us feel comfortable once at La Bufadora he offered to walk with us, but we chose to go alone. After we went to our massage appointment which i must say was so relaxing the staff there was so professional, we got dropped off back at the port i would definitely recommend Ensenada Excursions read more

We had a blast in Ensenada on 10/2/19 with Ensenada Excursions! Arturo Set is up with a fabulous driver, Norberto, who was very friendly and accommodating, and helped us practice our Spanish. He made several stops at our request, and guided us to great places to eat and shop. We weren't rushed at all, and even had time for a quick downtown tour and a stop for churros and coffee before going back to the ship. There were 5 adults and two tweens, and everyone left loving Ensenada! read more

Hands down would definitely use this service again. Very affordable for the service you receive. I traveled alone with my girls on Royal Caribbean so I wanted to do something fun, we decided to do ATV's and the Bufadora. We were picked up at the port by Oscar who was absolutely amazing, he drove us to the the location where the ATV's were. It was raining a bit and my daughters friend had forgot her sweater. The lady who worked at the ATV place lent her a jacket which was super nice of her. The ATV course was so fun, it was a little rainy so we had lots of fun puddles and streams along the route. From there Oscar took us to the Bufadora where he recommended where to eat and what to do with the 2 hours we had there. It was plenty of time. Our meet time was 9am and we were back to our ship around 3:00. I would highly recommend its like having your own personal tour guide without dealing with the tour buses. read more

We loved our choice of spending the day with the guidance of Ensenada Excursions. We met near the cruise ship and took a brief drive to a private beach and enjoyed several hours with clean restrooms and gift shop nearby. We ate an amazing seafood lunch at the nearby Estero Beach Resort and returned to the boat at a perfect time for us. Our guide was courteous and very attentive. We WILL use Ensenada Excursions again. read more

You were all amazing! I would highly recommend this company. We were looked after from the moment we were picked up at the port. My 3 boys had a blast surfing and we enjoyed the ATV. Fun memories were made for sure. read more

I loved the excursion. It was a private individual tour so we were able to do what we wanted including taking a stop for lunch. The tour guide was on time and stayed with us the entire day. We really got royal treatment. read more

I read about this tour company online and decided to get some quotes. I was really impressed with the customization that was available for whichever activities you wanted. I communicated with Ena via email over the past several months as we planned and prepared a memorable day for our first family cruise. And after some unexpected weather which delayed our port day, we were able to seamlessly reschedule to the other day, and shorten our excursion to accommodate our shortened shore day. Despite the rain, and muddy conditions, the excursion was unforgettable in a fantastic way! Norberto was an amazing taxi driver, very personable and knowledgable. He got us to the zip line park, waited for us, and help make sure we made it back to the ship on time. He even took a few pictures and video for us while we were zip lining on his own phone and had Arturo email them to us. Gracias Norberto, Arturo, y Ena! Highly recommend! read more

If you are looking for an excursion in Ensenada, look no further than Arturo. I found him through cruise group recommendations, and I'm so glad that I did. I was traveling with my 7 year old, my sister and her two boys, and my mom. My mom and sister are old fashioned and were not happy I was having us meet some guy I found online in another country, but within minutes of meeting Arturo they realized we had found a gem. For a very reasonable price, much less than the cruise line wanted, we had a personal tour guide for the day that would customize a day around what we wanted on the fly. We opted to go to LaBufadora for the blowhole and the flea market, and the kids got to pet lions and tigers. Honestly the ride out was just as much a highlight as seeing the sites. Arturo gave us history and background on Ensenada, pointed out the sites, told us about what his family enjoyed doing, and gave suggestions for the best things to do during our visit. If we are fortunate enough to make it back to Ensenada, there would be no other tour guide or company that we would use as we've already experienced the best. read more

We have had the pleasure of working with Arturo and his associates a few times. We have always felt safe and enjoyed our trip. When we have family or friends in the area we tell them Arturo is the man for the job. read more

My family was vacationing in Ensenada, and were having trouble finding a place to go horseback riding, so we ended up booking through Ensenada Excursions. We also decided to add a couple of side excursions on the same day, so that we could make the most of our time and our driver's knowledge of the area. He was awesome! He was able to pick us up and drop us back off right at our Airbnb, and he was a very good sport about letting my daughter practice her high school Spanish with him. At our different locations, he was able to make suggestions of things we should check out, and it really helped this to be one of the best days of our trip. I would definitely book with them again! read more

Arturo was very punctual picking us up and gave us a lot of great information about the area. We enjoyed our time horse back riding in Ensenada! We will be back :) read more

My family met Arturo online. I was nervous and sceptical of doing excursions not linked to our cruise line, but we took a chance and are really glad we did. Arturo is very professional and meticulous with his work and planning. He never leaves our side. He has a great sense of humor and is very kind. Being local, he's knowledgeable about the area, the shops and restaurants. We have used his services 2 times. The first was a group of 8. The second was at least 2x that many people. Arturo was able to accommodate us and all the different excursions we all wanted and for very affordable prices. Most of all we love hearing Arturo talk about his family. He's a very hard working, caring, family man. We always make sure to tip well because our friend Arturo more than deserves it. I hope to see Arturo again this next year read more

Do not. I repeat DO NOT GO ON La Bufadora excursion, my husband and I were sold on it and we regretted going. We had a excursion with our cruise and instead went with these people, paid 40 dollars, to be put on a bus with awful conditions, small space for our sitting, the bus smelled like motor oil, the seats were dirty, because of roads poor conditions and the driver crazy speed and no road speed limits it became a dangerous drive that took almost two hours to get to La Bufadora, the tour lady seemed angry when some of the people in the back were talking probably complaining of the conditions of tje trip. Once we got to Bufadora it was a gauntlet of merchants stopping us every five steps, we were exhausted trying to evade and focus on the limited time there, and the pressure or maybe not being able to make it to our ship in time. My advise is don't go, these people don't care, all they want is our money and don't care about the bad conditions of the trip read more

I am surprised that there are so many 5 star reviews. My experience was ok and a little awkward. Maybe because we booked it last min (2 days before we arrived). Our "tour" was to La Bufadora. This was my family's first time in Mexico. Staff from the company was on time, he had a sign with my husband's name on it and asked us to see our confirmation and then asked us where we were going. I confirmed and then the whole ride was pretty much quiet. I asked him how long would the ride be and he said about 30 mins. After 45 mins and I realized that there is no sign in the car that says that he was from Ensenada Excursions and he didn't even introduced himself. His lanyard says Carnival Cruise and we're in a yellow taxi cab. So I asked him for his name and went back on the site to confirm... found him, Miguel! Thank goodness his name was listed on the site or I would have freaked out thinking I got my family in the wrong car. Suggestion to the company: please ask staff to introduce themselves and confirm the name of the company. I tried asking him questions during the ride and his responses were either short or just a head nod. Not much personality. When we arrived, he told us to "walk straight down that direction." After we were done, he was in the car waiting. Overall, the driver was timely and reliable. If you're looking for a private driver, this may work... but maybe it's cheaper to hire a taxi cab directly? Not sure. If you're looking for a "tour guide" I would not recommend it. As we were walking up and down trying to find Lidia's we saw another tour guide "guiding" it's group and giving suggestions on where to eat, details about the area, etc. We didn't get any of that. Price wise, it was not cheaper than the price offered by our cruise. I only booked it because our cruise tour was full and they have great reviews. It was also nice that we were on our own time schedule. read more
