4.00My granddaughter and I went on a private tour that included the horseback ride on the beach, drive to La Bufadora and then to downtown Ensenada where we had lunch and then to a spa for a massage. The whole experience lasted about 6.5 hours. We were picked up and dropped off at the ship. We enjoyed all of it except that we were led by 2 young boys along the beach. We did not have use of the reins. They didn’t want our horses next to each other as the one would get frisky.
Alberto our driver was amazing!!!

5.00Way better than anything the ship excursions offered! Alberto our driver not only took us to our destination points but also stopped by the beach where my kids wanted to pick up sand dollars and had great recommendations for local spots and food to visit. We weren’t impressed with the horseback riding employees. They were a little rude and rushed. Would still recommend the experience overall!

5.00Extremely professional, very communicative. We loved our driver Oscar! He was very experienced and gave us a great tour. Oscar took us to the horseback riding area , the bufadoro blow hole where there was an opportunity to eat great tacos and shop. He waited for us each time and got us back to the ship, no problem. We started at 10 and got back around 2:30. I highly recommend booking through Viator! Everything was made so easy, even our meeting point with our driver😁
