Arrive at La Bufadora, the largest sea geyser in North America. Hear from your guide about how air, trapped in a sea cave, causes water to explode upward, often shooting more than 100 feet (31 meters) above sea level, creating a thunderous noise. Depending on the strength of the waves, this phenomenon repeats about every minute, so you are sure to see La Bufadora in action.

 

Then, your guide takes you to a popular sidewalk market of handicrafts and souvenirs made in Baja California. Find fun home décor items and gifts here, and then relax with food and drinks at one of the nearby restaurants (own expense) offering stunning views of the ocean.

 

Your 4-hour tour ends with drop-off back at your hotel.

La Bufadora and so much more!
Rose_C
, Oct 2021
We had a great time! Adrien was at the pick-up location when we got there. We had a great conversation on the way to La Bufadora. He was great in helping us navigate the shopping stalls on the way to/from La Bufadora. We asked about tacos and he took us to his favorite local spot. They were amazing. We asked about Margaritas and he took us to the birthplace of the drink in town. Will be doing the wine tour the next time we're there!

Ask for Adrian!

Our guide, Adrian, met us at a hotel close to the cruise ship and drove us to Ensenada. He is originally from Ensenada and is fluent in English and Spanish so he was able to tell us all about the area and help us negotiate in the marketplace after we viewed the blowhole. It was a quick trip with beautiful views of the ocean and mountains, and we were back to the ship with plenty of time to board.

Eugenia was an amazing tour guide from start to finish! Her knowledge and humor made the trip a memorable one! It felt like we were traveling with another family member. The tour itself was an easy drive from Ensenada to the La Bufadora. The views were amazing and the food options were plentiful! We got to also spend some time with a black jaguar, bengal tiger, and lion (cubs, of course). We paid about $80 USD for me, my husband, and 2 kids (10 & 15) and they absolutely loved it!

Eugenia offers what no one else can...her engaging personality. We felt like she tailored our tour exclusively to us. She ensured that our mother with her wheelchair was accommodated, & the entire your was accessable. On a scale of 1-10 she gets a 60!! (since there were 6 of us)
