About this activity

You’ll be picked up from your San Diego hotel in the morning for a drive south by comfortable, air-conditioned coach across the California-Mexico border. Traveling along the stunning Pacific coast, your 86-mile (129-km) drive is filled with postcard-worthy vistas of sapphire-blue ocean waters, rolling hills and rugged cliffs.

Arrive in Ensenada, the third-largest city in Baja California located in the Bahía de Todos Santos, an inlet of the Pacific Ocean. This important commercial and fishing port city offers a slew of sights and recreational activities, as well as great nightlife and even wine tasting. Start your visit with a narrated tour of the city’s must-see sights including Civic Plaza, with its sculptures of Mexican heroes and huge Mexican flag. You'll also visit Riviera del Pacifico, which was a resort and casino in the roaring 20s, as well as Bodegas de Santo Tomas, a local Mexican winery where you'll take a guided winery tour and taste some wines.

Stop for lunch around 1pm at an authentic Mexican restaurant. Once you’ve fueled up, enjoy free time to continue exploring Ensenada on your own. Revisit sights seen on your guided tour, or venture to new places for an authentic taste of this bustling Mexican city. Stroll along the waterfront boardwalk, pop into boutique shops, admire unique architecture, and visit a tasting room to sample some great local wine – Ensenada is known for producing some of the best wine in Mexico!

After spending about 5 hours in Ensenada, hop back on the coach in the late afternoon for your return drive up the Pacific coast to San Diego. Savor the last views of Mexico as you cross the border and arrive back at your hotel around 7pm.

This was an excellent tour. We where a very small group of 5 only. The tour provider did not canceled the tour as many other would do, but took a small van a performed the tour with only 5 of us. This was like an privat tour. The driver and guide was amazing. Did know all the special places to make nice photos and took us to an nice fish restaurant in an nice lagoon with excellent view. Would recommend any time.

This was a very enjoyable day. Juan the tour guide is very competent. The challenge was the small number of sign ups for 3 Baja trips. By combining the best of the 3 trips he prevented the cancellation of all 3 trips and ensured all 9 people had a great day. Highly recommend any trip led by Juan. I learnt many new and interesting facts about Mexico.

Our tour to Ensenada was the highlight of our vacation. This was mainly due to our guide Juan. Not only was he knowledgeable of the areas that we toured but he also answered our questions and showed us unique areas along the way. The transportation was clean and comfortable and the food we had was really good. I would absolutely go again as long as Juan is my guide.

First, 2 people bailed because they van did not have seat belts in the back. They said it was not required by law. Second, it was raining and they said it was raining too hard in Ensenada to go there, so we never got even half way. Third, the tour van broke down and the guide had to thumb down a taxi already with people to get us to Puerto Nuevo for lunch, then we went back to the U.S.
