This private combo lets you experience both the dramatic coastline and the cultural heart of Ensenada — without rushing, waiting, or sharing a crowded bus.

We handle the logistics. Someone needs vegetarian tacos or bathroom break or super special hard to find souvenir?

What Guests Are Saying
Way better than being packed into a bus or mini bus with a bunch of other people.
Loved our day spent with Armando at La Bufadora/massage… We felt safe 100% of the time… Overall the best day!
We booked the Kayaking excursion and it was totally memorable. Guides kept an eye on us and made sure we were safe. Highly recommend this company—next time we go to Ensenada we’ll book again!
