The reviews speak for themselves:

This was the BEST excursion I’ve ever purchased! Our guide was fantastic, providing all the info on Ensenada as we drove and ensuring we had the best experience possible. (Reviewed on 2025-02-03)

After conquering the zip lines, head over to La Bufadora, the famous marine geyser that shoots water up to 30 meters into the air. The surrounding tourist strip offers a delightful array of artisan shops and local eateries, perfect for a leisurely stroll and some souvenir shopping.

Afternoon City Exploration

As the afternoon sun bathes Ensenada in a warm glow, it’s time to dive into the city’s rich cultural tapestry. Join the City Exploration Tour from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM, where you’ll be whisked away in a replica of a 1908 Ford Model T. This unique tour takes you to the heart of Ensenada, starting with a visit to La Bufadora, the largest natural blowhole in North America.

The tour continues with a visit to the historic Riviera de Ensenada, the birthplace of the Margarita cocktail. Here, you can sip on this iconic drink while soaking in the vibrant atmosphere of the city. The journey then leads you to Bodegas de Santo Tomas, a vineyard nestled within the city, where you can indulge in a mezcal tasting session.

A recent review captures the essence of this experience:

Excellent trip. Our driver provided us with information about the blowhole and assisted with our picture taking. The second half in the model T car was unique, and we learned about the history of the Margarita. (Reviewed on 2024-10-13)
