What people love about ensenada excursions and tours:
Personal Service
Our small team — Ena, Claudia, and Jesse — answers every email, call, and message personally. We listen and adapt to your needs, from restricted diets and reduced mobility to car seats and special requests. You’ll be greeted with a personalized sign and treated like family from start to finish.
Quality Experiences
Shore days should feel like a break from the crowds. With a private vehicle and local guide, you’ll enjoy safe, fun, and flexible excursions. Our guides share stories, jokes, and insider tips, making your day in Ensenada more than just sightseeing.
Better Value
Our tours are often up to 30% less than cruise lines — and when prices are higher, it’s because you’re getting a private driver and vehicle instead of a crowded bus. Unlike Viator, which adds 28% in fees, booking direct means better service, lower cost, and no waiting around.
Local Impact
We’re proudly based in Ensenada, and all profits stay here to support our team and community. We also give back by donating to local dog and horse rescues and matching guest donations each quarter. With us, your travel makes a difference.
