Review of Ensenada’s private La Bufadora, market, and beach horseback ride, with honest advice on guides, horses, timing, value, and safety.
“Jose was a wonderful tour guide. He made sure to get us to our destinations and was extremely helpful with making sure we were safe. The horse itself was extremely uncomfortable as it was not adjusted for someone of my height, but the ride itself was just okay. The guide did not communicate clearly on what was expected, so myself and my party were frequently apart from one another and could not share experiences.”
Review of Ensenada’s private beach horseback ride and La Bufadora tour, with port pickup, local food tips, pricing, timing, and practical advice.
“Miguel was a great guide! I love his approach on taking you to the locations and giving you space to enjoy without feeling pressured. He gave amazing tips to prevent getting scammed (for example, what a certain item should cost or what pushy salesmen will try to do and how to deal with that). He gave really good food recommendations. He also allowed us to make pit stops on the way to see other locations or have other excursions. I would 10/10 recommend and will be booking him again next time we're in Ensenada.”

“Crystal was absolutely wonderful, accommodating and personable! Her son was also on our trip and he was so fun and a pleasant little dude- totally made our day! We had clear instructions to meet at the pickup point and made friends with the other group that was with us on the tour. The drive was a bit long but the beach we got to was beautiful as it lined the coast. No complaints on our first experience but 2 of 6 horses went much faster than the tour as whole and I wish I was warned on how to maneuver the bounce cuz now my back hurts. The other horses…”
Review of Ensenada’s private La Bufadora and beach horseback tour, with practical advice on value, timing, guides, shopping, and cruise-port pickup.
“1. Not being able to find the tour guide after being given several contradictory directions from the tour company. 2. No English speaking tour guide even though booking indicated that our tour guide would speak English. 3. Expected to spend 1 hour in downtown Ensenada as advertised. We did not. Instead, we were steered to certain vendors at our stop at Bufadora. 4. Expected to ride the horses longer and without guides leading the horses.”

Review of Ensenada’s private beach horseback ride, with pickup, guide, tacos, pricing, horse-handling details, and practical tips.
“One of my dreams was to ride a horse on the beach. The driver, Brian, was a great guide. When we got to the beach I was a little disappointed. The horses seemed a little broken down. A child walked and led the horse while I slowly rode down a small beach in between businesses. She didn’t speak English, so we couldn’t communicate much. It was not at all what I expected. But it was an opportunity to ride a horse on the beach and get away from the busyness,”

“We enjoyed this tour on 8/19 on our port day during a cruise. The communication was great. The tour operator contacted me via the app and text message to confirm the pick up point and time. He was very friendly and seemed to know all the locals everywhere we went. We had a great time riding around town and the beach horseback riding. He even dropped us off at the local shopping spot when we were done with the tour and sent another driver to take us back to our port when we were done shopping. Would recommend!”

Review of Ensenada’s La Bufadora and Punta Banda horseback tour, with beach riding, tequila tasting, transport details, value, and practical tips.
“It was so much fun! Our driver Alvin kept us safe at all times and took us to all of the locations on time. The horseback riding was so much fun and very relaxing. My group and I were experienced with horseback riding, so it wasn’t difficult, but if you are a beginner and don’t speak much Spanish, you may face some difficulties. The bufadora was beautiful and our guide assured that everything there was safe to eat. He was a great driver and very friendly.”
