Driver is excellent! Good communication but not sure about Paipai - Our driver Pablo was great to work with. He made sure we were taken care of and made stops as requested. We felt extremely comfortable during the trip with Pablo. Paipai is pricey and the amount of time with the baby cubs is way too short for the price. I felt bad that the Cubs are separated from their mother. It also seems like the animals spend all day in the small enclosures with no exposure to the outdoors or exercise. It was a hot day and a lot of animals did not have access to water. I have mixed reviews as I am not sure this is a real sanctuary for animals or a for profit place.

Great place, great workers and awesome animals!! - Great place, great workers and awesome animals. Animals seemed well taken care of and healthy. A really fun time, just 1 little caveat, it's not cheap but we felt it went to a good cause. Well worth the time spent.

Great place, great people and awesome animals! - Great place, workers all have great attitudes, the animals seem to be treated / taken care of very well. My only bugaboo is that it is not cheap but I felt the money went to help care for the animals.

Safe and Comfortable transportation! - Jesse and his team (Javier) were very communicative with us and were able to meet our expectations. We felt safe and comfortable with our transportation to PaiPai and able to pick our own package to enjoy and the park. Javier was very nice and friendly he shared very well information about town and places to eat and visit. Thank you Ensenada Excursions we will back soon! Yes! We recommend it specially if you are traveling with minors it's safe this way!

Great time at PaiPai - We recently took a cruise to Ensenada and booked an excursion to PaiPai and added on massages to the tour. To start the directions were very clear and we found our driver Tomas easily. Tomas was the highlight of our trip! He drove us to PaiPai and helped us purchase our tickets. He waited for us while we did our tour as the ecotourism park. As far as the park goes it was beautiful and amazing. The only thing I was was more clear were the prices of each of the additional experiences. After that we said we were hungry so he took us to get tacos at an amazing place and helped us with our language barrier. After that he dropped half our party off at the port and took the other half to get massages. The massages left a lot to be desired, but for the price they were ok. On the way back to the port we were talking about margaritas and Tomas said he thought we might have time to get one before heading back to the ship. He quickly got us to Bar Andaluz and explained to us the history behind the place. He ran in with us and told the bartender we wanted a margarita but needed to be quick. He made sure we got everything we wanted while still getting back to the boat on time. We had such a great day and are very grateful for all Tomas did for us!!!

Great experience for private driver to PaiPai not offered by cruise ship - Jose our driver was great. Easy to communicate with and find for our experience. He provided information about Ensenada as we drove to PaiPai and made sure we could check in ok. He waited in the car for 2 hours and then drove us back to town.

Pai Pai is worth every cent Alfredo was great - Our guide Alfredo was super nice, took care of us touchingly, he told us all about the people and life in Ensenada during the trip, he also drove us to a small snack where the fish tacos were super delicious, Pai Pai himself is a great facility for animals, and the petting experiences with a little tiger, kangaroo, hedgehog, kid, and piggies are unforgettable

Love the Baby Big Cats! - The park is clean and fun. Staff is nice and helpful. I didnt see many options for quick snacks to grab but there is a restaurant where u can sit and dine inside. There are alot of extra charges once you get inside but I think its worth it. They offer a once in a lifetime experience for some ppl to pet wild animals and im sure the day to day care in order to run the facility is very expensive. I just consider the money helps care for the animals and I dont think anyone could be mad about that.
