Custom Ensenada Tour Package- 10 out of 10 - This was a last minute choice we found and it was our favorite part of our cruise! We made a custom combo of excusrions we wanted- we chose Bufadora, Couples Massage and Horseback riding in the Echo Canyon. They handled all the scheduling, time slots to ensure we returned to port on time and personal details with a Happy Birthday sign to greet us. Our driver stayed with us all day and took us personally to each stop and took our photos at every stop. We would not add the Bufadora as it was a little cliche and not worth it but the massage and horseback riding were hands down - 15 out of 10! Book this company and let them take care of the planning work for you. Reasonable prices made it worth it all day!

Get the package deal itā€™s the best! - What a great experience we had. It was 3 am day of on the cruise and we decided to book our excursion for the day in Ensenada. I took TripAdvisor to put the perfect package together. We did the horseback riding the Bufadora and massage package. We were greeted by our private driver Abraham right when we got off the ship. He was our driver the entire day. It was an amazing experience and we had a great time.

A fun day outside Ensenada - We had a lovely time. Our driver, JosƩ, was great. The horseback ride was my 13 year-old daughter's favorite part of our cruise! Echo Canyon was beautiful and peaceful. La Bufadora was beautiful and crowded, touristy fun. We were very happy with our tour, and would do it again.

Easy, safe country ride - Very well organized and safe horseback ride in the hills outside town. We are seniors and were well taken care of. Taxi drive to site was interesting too. Easy pick up off ship and return.

Eco Canyon - Our taxi driver was great. Our horse guide knew little English, but was still super helpful and friendly. They each took pictures for us and were very helpful overall.

Fun experience. Friendly private driver. Efficient itinerary. - We were assigned a private taxi driver, Wiley, who spent a whole day with us. We visited the Horse Riding place, La Bufadura and the Massage shop and got back to the Cruise Village within 6 hours. Timeline: 9:15am off-board; 9:30am met the driver outside Cruise Village; 10-11am Horse Riding; 11:30am La Bufadora; 1:15pm left La Bufadora; 1:45-2:45pm Massage; 3:15pm drop-off in Cruise Village.

Great experience in Ensenada - Our driver is very friendly, and horseback riding is fun! Itā€™s a little scary at the beginning, but once you're on the horse, you can enjoy the view of the beautiful beach and the ocean

I expected more time on horseback and a more interesting tour - It was not what we expected, the horseback ride only lasts 1 hour of the 5 they offer as an attraction. They should say that the transfers take almost 2 hours of the 5 that lasts the whole excursion and that the horseback ride only takes 1 hour. For the visit to La Bufadora you are given 1.5 hours, when it is something you see in 30 minutes. Maybe as an attraction for someone coming on the cruise it is fun, but to do it as a national visitor if we were disappointed. The driver was very friendly and helpful.

Horseback Riding is Garbage - Taxi Driver + Massage were great! - The horseback riding was a complete disappointmentā€”thankfully, the rest of the excursion made up for it. Our driver, Juan Carlos, was incredibleā€”safe, knowledgeable, and had a spotless car. The horseback ride itself was heartbreaking. The horses were in terrible condition, the tack was held together with baling twine, and the saddles were barely functional. A 12-year-old had to follow us just to keep one horse moving. It was a self-guided ride through a trash-covered path, and the horses could barely manage a slow walk. After that disaster, Juan Carlos took us to La Bufadora, where the market was fun but overwhelming due to aggressive vendors. We then enjoyed amazing tacos at a local spot and fresh churros from a bakery. The day ended with an absolutely incredible massageā€”the best Iā€™ve ever had. Bottom line: DO NOT book this for horseback riding. Instead, hire a private driver (Juan Carlos was amazing!) and book a separate massage. Thatā€™s where your money is best spent!
