This bus ride to La Bufadora from Ensenada, taking nearly an hour each way, was the best leg of the…read moreexcursion IMHO. But probably not for those suffering from a fear of heights. Quite hairy at times getting there. And on a narrow two way road overlooking the ocean. Beautiful views though. After arriving at La Bufadora's parking lot, a huge shoutout to the driver for getting us there safely. And before stepping off the bus our guide Roxanne gave us a prep talk on what to expect. Of course its main destination is their famous blowhole. While the taco spot Lidia's Grill is also extremely popular. Riders were even given the option of bringing their tacos back to the bus to enjoy while riding back to Ensenada. But before reaching that very popular blowhole, we were given advice about first weaving our way through the huge marketplace and its very aggressive hawkers. "If not interested just ignore them." Think LA's Olvera Street on steroids if you've ever been there. And much larger, at least a quarter of a mile in length with everything imaginable being offered. But Roxanne boldly guided us through and finally we reached the blowhole and the beautiful scenery overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Then you're left to take in the views on your own. Just remember to head back to the bus to reboard by 2:10 for our return bus ride back to the port. And conditions were right for amazing bursts of waves from the blowhole. While some spent almost the entire time at Lidia's putting in and awaiting their taco orders. It's that popular.

We stayed in a rental that overlooked this amazing beach. It's the off season (February) so it…read morewasn't crowded. Homes line the beach, there is a space for public parking and access. 50 pesos for a car all day. The beach is clean. The sand in some areas has gold sprinkles. The sand is soft, plenty of shells along the water if you want to collect some. Watch out for horse poop O_O People ride horses and walk dogs all through out the day. There's a guy offering rides on his motorized hang glider as well. When the weather is clear, you can see the sleeping man island in the distance. I'm ready to go back!!

The staff are not just friendly--they're genuinely engaging and make you feel like part of the family. The animals are incredibly well cared for, and you can tell this isn't just a "look but don't touch" zoo. We got to interact with monkeys, tigers, leopards, capybaras, giraffes, hippos, and lemurs--hands-on, feeding and playing with them! The baby leopards and the albino lion literally crawled on us and showered us with love--it was surreal and unforgettable. On top of that, we had a tequila tasting that was out of this world--the walnut flavor is a must-try! Convenience? They pick you up right from the cruise ship terminal and bring you back, making the whole experience effortless. Easy to find, unforgettable, and absolutely worth every second. If you're visiting Ensenada, Paipai is non-negotiable on your bucket list! Thank you Max and Julian our guides

Playa Ensenada is a very cool beach. It stretches about 12 miles (15 km) from the Malecon…read more(boardwalk) near the port of Ensenada down to the Estero Beach Resort on the edge of Todos Santos Bay (which is as big as San Diego Bay). On a huge stretch along the middle there are no structures to be seen from the beach, which makes it very scenic and natural. Just a long stretch of sand with a gentle slope into the Pacific Ocean. The water stays shallow for a long ways into the ocean. You could probably still stand up about 50 yards out there, but the water was too cold in April to stay in that long to find out. We'll be back in Summer to try. People walk their dogs unleashed and the sun glistens off the water. Pure sand and no rocks, this beach is a delight. Wide open to the ocean, there can be strong rip currents. For a beach dude like me it rates a 4.5 stars, so I'll round it up to 5 stars.

Ensenada is a port town, where you will likely find one or two cruise liners docking here any given…read moretime of year. This port also has smaller, privately owned boats docked here, and some offer half-hour tours for a small price. Having driven down here form Tijuana, we decided to go on a boat tour right before dinner, and once again after dinner. The daytime ride was pretty cool. We were in a smaller boat, which meant we were able to feel the waves more. This was especially true when we cleared the breakwater. The waves were a bit stronger than normal that day, which made for a very fun ride. Once we got back, we ate dinner, and we were once again ready to go on another boat ride. We were hoping to ride an even smaller boat, for an even more fun ride. However, there were far less boats available at that time of night, as most ship captains had already called it a day. We were able to get a ride on a slightly bigger ship, which didn't rock as much as the previous boat. However, nightfall had already set it, which provided opportunities for some great photos and videos. This was especially true because there were two cruise liners docked in Ensenada that evening, which provided a spectacular nighttime landscape. The folks who staff this place are friendly, and the patrons are a nice crowd. The price is not high at all, it was around 210 pesos for three people. Most rides are a half hour, and I wonder if some boats will let you rent them for longer. This is a fun attraction, located along the waterway in Ensenada. If you find yourself in the tourist area of this fine town, go for a boat ride. The cool ocean breeze and sunny skies will refresh you well.
