Ensenada cruise excursions are a gateway to experiencing the vibrant culture and natural beauty of Mexico, offering activities like wine tasting in local vineyards and exploring scenic coastal areas. Ensenada cruise excursions also provide opportunities for adventure, such as zip-lining and off-road tours, appealing to thrill-seekers and cultural explorers alike.

Ensenada Excursions to Baja, California

As the third-largest city in Baja California, Ensenada, a coastal city in Mexico, is locally referred to as La Cenicienta del Pacifico, "The Cinderella of the Pacific."

If visiting during the end of December through the end of March, witness a spectacular phenomenon as the gray whales of the Bering and Chukchi seas migrate to the offshore waters of Ensenada for a limited time. Our whale watching excursion will allow you to see these magnificent creatures that were once on the brink of extinction.

If craving a glass of wine, head to the countryside in the northeastern region of Ensenada. This area serves as the grounds for several wineries, due in part to the original Russian immigrants who planted the vineyards back in the early 1900s.

With its whale watching excursions and wineries, it's no wonder why Ensenada has emerged as a popular cruise ship destination. Whether you're taking a tour of La Bufadora, enjoying the sites by bike, golfing by the shore or embarking on any of our other amazing tours, you'll be having a great time in Ensenada with Shore Excursions.

“Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things: air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.”

– Cesare Pavese

Top Things To Do In Ensenada, Mexico

An absolute must-see, and a wonderful place to kick start your journey, is Avenida Lopez Mateos.

Avenida Lopez Mateos is a charming street in the downtown Ensenada area. It’s brimming with quaint shops selling art, jewelry, and unique trinkets.

Spend an afternoon strolling this famous street, enjoying fresh seafood al fresco, and recharging with a coffee. All while soaking up traditional live music. 

Treat Yourself To Some Amazing Food

While rambling down Avenida Lopez Mateos, you might stumble upon the iconic La Guerrerense food cart .

Serving up mouth-watering tostadas made with fresh local fish, La Guerrerense is a family affair. The food cart began in the 1960s and has won many awards over the years.

This small street food stall has become one of the most sought-after places to eat in Ensenada.

Their most famous dish is the sea urchin ceviche and clam tostada, yum!

Unsurprisingly, the delicious seafood is the star of the show in this coastal destination. A trip to Baja California would not be complete without trying Baja fish tacos.

These fried fish delights are found throughout the city and will keep you returning for more and more after your first sample. 

While the Ensenada sights are a big draw to the area, it’s the food that keeps people coming back.

Sip On Fine Wines At Guadalupe Valley

With almost 90% of Mexico’s wine coming from this region, you best believe Guadalupe Valley is a wine-lovers paradise.

Over 120 wineries can be found here, the only hard part is narrowing down which of the many vineyards to visit.

Learn about Baja California’s interesting history with a stop at the Museo De Historia. Explore the museum’s many exhibits across seven rooms, with displays containing information about the local Indigenous people and how the city has evolved over the years.

Be sure to pick up a booklet on your way in. This will provide English translations of the display information. 

Museo De Historia is pretty small in size. A tour usually takes around an hour, depending how fast you soak up the information. Of course, you can stay around for as long as you like.

Chill Out At Parque De La Bandera

No trip to Ensenada would be complete without a visit to the Parque De La Bandera.

The name actually translates to Flag Park , thanks to its huge, Instagram-famous Mexican flag. The flag is so large, it can be seen flying high from many parts of the city. 

One of the most popular things to do at the park is to enjoy the dramatic fountains.

This is where you can find an exciting light and water show around nighttime. The show usually starts at 8:00 pm, and is definitely worth checking out during your visit.

Pay A Visit To The Caracol Museo De Ciencias

Caracol Museo De Ciencias is another favorite among families visiting Ensenada. The museum was constructed to resemble a massive ship and is, not surprisingly, situated near the harbor. 

At Caracol Museo De Ciencias, you’ll learn all about Baja’s wildlife. Visitors can explore the fascinating observatory, understand how climate change is affecting the planet, and read about dinosaur fossils found in the area.

One of our favorite parts was the earthquake simulator. Here you can experience what an earthquake feels like in the museum’s unique simulator! 

Stroll Along The Malecon

If you plan to explore Parque De La Bandera, be sure to visit the park’s gorgeous boardwalk, called the Malecon. 

The Malecon is one of Ensenada’s best-loved spots for both locals and tourists. It’s a great place to soak up the Baja sunshine, sample delicious Mexican cuisine, and sip on a refreshing local beer or margarita. 

Keep an eye out for the famous golden busts of three key figures from Mexico’s rich history: Benito Juarez, Miguel Hidalgo, and Venustiano Carranza.

Go Deep Sea Fishing

One thing you have to do while in Ensenada is hit the waters for some deep-sea fishing. Whether you’re a professional or a novice, you’ll have an absolute blast.
