via TripAdvisor

Treated us like friends

"One if the best tours I have ever been on. Eric was the best. He took us to the Blow hole, and the flea market. He negotiated bargains with Spanish speaking sellers, for great deals. THEN... He took us to an authentic place for lunch! Perfect day! Treated us like friends while allowing us to learn about the Ensenada culture. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour."

I would recommend him 100%

"We had so much fun. Taking my husband out of his comfort zone was all worth it. The view was amazing. La Bufadora and Lidia’s was exceptional to say the least. Our tour guide Gerson, did more than enough. I would recommend him 100%."

“Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things: air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.”

– Cesare Pavese

8 Best Ensenada Tours from the Cruise Port (Or Nearby)

Are you planning to go on a cruise with a stop in Ensenada? Do you want to see the best of this cute little town without the overcrowded and overpriced tours your cruise offers? I can help you out with the best Ensenada tours from the cruise port!

My husband Cecilio and I recently went on our first cruise to Ensenada. Most of the tours that the cruise offered were pricey with bad reviews from passengers.

Rather than booking through the cruise, I booked a private tour with a local tour company, heading to La Bufadora . We did what we wanted and didn’t wait around for 50 other fellow cruise passengers.

This list features the best Ensenada tours from the cruise port (or nearby) so that you can experience the town in a more intimate setting.

From nature-filled activities to food and tequila tastings, you’ll experience Ensenada authentically with local guides!

Tacos, Brews and Views Tour

✅ 3-4 hours ✅ Food and drinks over gorgeous views of Ensenada ✅ Roundtrip transportation near the cruise port

🌟 RATING: 5/5 | ⏳ TOUR LENGTH: 4-5 hours | 🐎 Check rates and availability

Pick-up location: Museo Caracol, Bahia Ensenada, 22880 Ensenada, B.C., Mexico (located right outside the port)

Picture yourself blissfully riding on a horse with the sound of the waves crashing on a sunny day.

That’s exactly what you will be doing on the Private Horseback and La Bufadora Shore Excursion . Your guide will drive you to a secluded beach away from the noisy, crowded areas. It’s just you, your group, and the horses against a serene backdrop of the Pacific Ocean.

After all, you’re always bumping into hordes of crowds on your cruise!

The horses you will ride on are well-trained, and your guide will ride a horse in front of you for your safety.

After riding the horses for about 60 minutes, your guide will take you to La Bufadora, one of the largest blowholes/marine geysers in the world. Near La Bufadora, there is a street full of shops and eateries. Since the vendors are pushing you to buy merchandise, your guide will help you with haggling (that’s if you want to buy anything).

Since this tour is about 4-5 hours long, you have a few hours to kill. You can either have your guide drop you off at Downtown Ensenada to walk around or back to the port.

Very nice excursion! The host was easy to communicate and the driver was on time to pick up and drop off us to the cruise terminal. He was also very nice and explain many things about Ensenada The horse riding experience was great and we enjoyed very much. Highly recommended! Changcheng_Z (Read more reviews)

🌟 RATING: 5/5 | ⏳ TOUR LENGTH: 1-2 hours | 🚗 Check rates and availability

Pick-up location: At the port

Getting around Ensenada can’t get any more unique than riding in a 1903 replica Ford Model T for your tour!

You’ll be able to stop by more attractions than you would with a cruise tour or DIY-ing your itinerary. After all, the car is tiny and can park in any small corner 😉

Because there’s limited seating, this is a private tour, which is perfect for solo travelers, couples, and small groups. Unfortunately, this tour is not wheelchair accessible.

Since the car is open-air, you will be able to feel the nice, cool breeze as you’re driving through the streets of Ensenada and passing by the sapphire-blue beaches.

Although the tour states that it’s roughly 1-2 hours long, reviewers who booked this tour said that it was very flexible and that the guide could adapt the itinerary according to your needs.

Some have said that they were able to extend the tour by adding a few stops or going horseback riding. Your wish is their command!

Your guide will take you to the Tequila Museum and a winery. The tequila tasting isn’t included in the tour, but is offered at a discount. Wine tasting and bottles aren’t included in the winery either.

If you don’t drink, your guide will drive you to alternative attractions and more food stops; you can never have enough sizzling street tacos!

Our driver was very knowledgeable and took us to interesting spots. We got to sample margaritas, wine, and local street tacos. We did not feel rushed and he was able to drop us off where we wanted to. It was a good way to sample the city as we were traveling with a child. Would recommend! Jenny_H (Read more reviews)

A table with 3 tacos, a purple berry margarita, and a bowl of tortilla chips. On the other side of the table, there is a white backpack on a blue chair. This is located in Sabina Restaurant in Ensenada, Mexico

🌟 RATING: 5/5 | ⏳ TOUR LENGTH: 4-5 hours | 🌮 Check rates and availability

Pick-up location: Ensenada Excursions and Tours, Lázaro Cárdenas s/n, Zona Centro, 22800 Ensenada, B.C., Mexico (or you can get picked up at the port)

Foodies and/or beer enthusiasts will go nuts over the Tacos, Brews and Views tour!

Your guide will pick you up from the port and take you to 2 award-winning eateries, including La Guerrerense Carreta , voted the “Best Street Food Cart” in the world. Famous chefs like Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern were patrons.

Right across the street La Guerrerense Carreta is Sabina Restaurant , the sister restaurant. Cecilio and I had lunch there, and I had 3 of the most mouth-watering tacos I’ve eaten in my life (aside from the street tacos in Playa del Carmen during our honeymoon) along with a refreshing berry margarita. Cecilio ordered Anthony Bourdain’s signature dish, which was a seafood platter made with sea snails, scallops, lime, onions, and house sauce.

If you’re not yet full from everything you eat during this tour, I recommend a stop at Sabina Restaurant for lunch right before you return to the cruise!

After your stop at La Guerrerense Carreta, you’ll head to Tacos Fenix , known as the birthplace of the shrimp and fried fish tacos popular all over Baja California and San Diego.

After you get your fill of tacos, your guide will drive you to 4 breweries near the port, where you can enjoy sips of craft beer with stunning views of the ocean.

While the food and drink aren’t included in the tour, they are much more affordable than if you were to order the same thing in the USA (your dollar goes far in Mexico, after all). And you’re already saving a lot of money by not booking a tour through your cruise.

Just make sure you skip breakfast on the cruise; you need to come hungry for the freshest seafood and tacos in Mexico!

I can go on & on about this tour!!! We LOVED the ceviche!! We LOVED the tacos!! The tequila tour & beer spots were AWESOME & we had the BEST tour guy ever, Noe!!! Definitely a must do if you’re in Ensenada!! Dorian_H (Read more reviews)

🌟 RATING: 5/5 | ⏳ TOUR LENGTH: All day (and flexible) | ⛰️ Check rates and availability

If you want to try it all—nature, thrill-seeking activities, food, and shopping—then this tour is for you.

This private tour is perfect for families and couples. You will start off with a trip to La Bufadora to see how high the water can spout (up to 100 feet!). It’s also a great place to go shopping for souvenirs or try some of the margarita and pina colada samples from the vendors.

This tour includes a ticket to Las Cañadas Campamento , Ensenada’s very own adventure park. This makes it convenient since you can skip the line, and since you are on a cruise, you don’t have time to waste.

You will get to go on an exciting canopy tour, consisting of 5 zip lines of various lengths and 5 suspension bridges to walk through. Much more fun than the ziplines and ropes courses that Royal Caribbean and Carnival offer!

And of course, your tour will end with some delicious tacos. Can’t leave Ensenada without those!

Everything about our excursion was excellent. Oscar, our driver, was so friendly and kind. The canopy zip line tour was awesome, my whole family had a blast! I would definitely do this again. A Tripadvisor reviewer (Read more reviews)

a large mist of water spouting from the Pacific Ocean at a distance on a sunny day with clouds. This is La Bufadora, one of the largest blowholes in the world, located on the Punta Banda Peninsula, 45-60 minutes south of Ensenada, Mexico. The rock formations next to it are the seacaves that allow the water to erupt.

🌟 RATING: 4.7/5 | ⏳ TOUR LENGTH: 4 hours | 🌊 Check rates and availability

Pick-up location: Riviera del Pacifico, Boulevard Lazaro Cardenas 1421, Ensenada, Ensenada Municipality 22880, B.C., Mexico

The La Bufadora Geyser Tour is the one that Cecilio and I went on during our Ensenada stop on our cruise. We met with Eugenia at Riviera del Pacifico, which is just down the street from the port.

It’s a private tour where you’re taken to La Bufadora. Your guide (Eugenia in our case) will give you in-depth knowledge about Ensenada as a city and its historical roots.

Once you head to La Bufadora, your guide will introduce you to some of the local artisans selling hand-crafted sculptures and paintings at the market. If you are going to go shopping, I suggest you support these artisans instead of the vendors selling fake Gucci purses and cheap trinkets.

After you walk by the shops, you’ll see where La Bufadora spouts water. Your guide will give you free time for about an hour until you meet up at the parking lot, where they drive you back to Riviera del Pacifico, where you can try a margarita from Bar Andaluz , the birthplace of beloved Mexican cocktail.

This trip with Eugenia and Luigi was wonderful. They were so pleasant, welcoming and knowledgeable. We loved hearing their stories and their accounts of the local history. Eugenia was so pleasant to introduce to local artists and her friends along the way. We found this special. Luigi gave a great account along the way and took such amazing pictures of us along the way. We found the tour with both of them lovely and will cherish the memories!! Katie (Read more reviews)

Pick-up location: Ventana al Mar Prol. Castillo, Zona Centro, 22800 Ensenada, B.C., Mexico (right outside the port near the Mexico flagpole)

If your idea of a perfect day consists of frolicking through the grape-filled vineyards and comparing each sip of wine that passes through your lips, you’re in for a treat with this tour !

Valle de Guadalupe is the Napa or Tuscany of Mexico making its way into the wine world. And you will get to be a part of it by trying some of the finest sips. Most of the wine in Mexico is produced there.

This tour guides you through Valle de Guadalupe’s rich history, with roots from the Kumeyaay tribe. You’ll get a chance to visit a museum before you hit the wineries.

Unlike most of the wine tours in Valle de Guadalupe, this tour includes a tasting consisting of 5 varieties: 1 white, 1 rosé, and 3 reds. If you want to do a 2nd or 3rd tasting, you’ll have to pay for it.

You can also go ziplining, ATV riding, hiking, or wandering through a lavender field in this tour if you choose for an extra fee. This isn’t your typical wine tour!

Wine or beer not your thing? Maybe you’re more of a liquor gal (or guy). In that case, you ought to go on the Mezcal, Tequila, BajaMed foodie Tasting Tour !

This tour includes three samples of mezcal and three samples of tequila for you to sample, alongside fresh ceviche to go along with the drinks. Your guide, who has in-depth knowledge of Mexico’s 2 most popular liquors, will talk about how they were made. They will also teach you how to distinguish the two.

Since the tour is only 3 hours, you have extra free time before going back to your cruise. I suggest having some tacos at Sabina Restaurant in Downtown Ensenada or trying to OG margarita at Bar Andaluz.

This tour is wheelchair accessible, from the transportation to the surfaces you walk on.

The host was very knowledgeable, interesting, and friendly. The tequilas and mezcals, and ceviche were high quality. Glad we did this excursion. 👍🏻 Brian_E (Read more reviews)

Although all cruises offer massages in their spa, they come at a hefty price. I’m talking, $400 for a 60-minute couples massage. Ouch!

If you still want to pamper yourself without the hefty price tag, consider going on the Shore Excursion Couples Massage . It’s a lot less expensive, and you can choose to do just the massage or add another tour on top, like horseback riding, ziplining, visiting La Bufadora, or wine tasting.

Yes, all with the same tour operator, Ensenada Massage ! They are your one-stop shop as one of the best Ensenada tours from the cruise port. It’s the perfect way to end your

Though it says it’s a couples massage, you could bring your mom or your friend if they are on the cruise with you.

You can customize your massage however way you want with hot stones and CBD oil. You can even add on a facial! All these extra services come at an extra cost.

You can also choose the type of massage you want, such as Swedish, Lomi Lomi, or deep tissue.

The team at Ensenada Massage will pick you up at the port and make sure you come back to your cruise on time.

Whether you’re looking to spend a leisurely day or want to experience the fun activities that will give your body some TLC after, you need to add this massage as a part of your itinerary in Ensenada.

The massage was amazing… safe, clean, professional. Then Oscar, our driver was amazing and took us on our tasting tours. Rachel_W (Read more reviews)

You don’t need to book an excursion through your cruise to have a fun time in Ensenada. Not only are these tours mentioned above more affordable, your guides will meet you at the port or nearby. They will also make sure that you are back in time before the ship sails.

That is also why I made sure that the tours are 6 hours or less, so you are not rushing to board back to the ship. You’ll also be able to explore Ensenada on your own for a bit!

If you want to explore the best of Ensenada in a short time, I highly recommend the Ford Model T Tour . Your guide will drive you to some of the coolest stops, but if you want to stop to do some activities (like horseback riding), they will be happy to wait for you.

If you have your sights set on La Bufadora, the 2nd largest blowhole in the world, book the La Bufadora Geyser Tour or add a tour along with the Shore Excursion Couples Massage .

But no matter what you choose, your tour guides will go above and beyond to make sure you have a fantastic time in Ensenada, filled with joyous memories (and delicious food!).

Not sure which cruise to go on for your next vacation? Check out my honest review of Carnival Radiance !
