Afterward, continue by shuttle bus or minivan and spend 90 minutes at the world's largest ocean geyser: La Bufadora; the result of air being trapped in a sea cave by wave action. As the water recedes, a large spout and thunderous boom are created; the phenomena repeats every minute with its volume determined by the strength of the swell with water reaching a height of up to 65 feet (20 meters).

After witnessing the natural waterworks, you can spend time shopping at the local stores carrying Mexican handicrafts or sip a refreshing drink while watching artisans create beautiful works of art on dishes and abalone shells.

After returning to Ensenada in your air-conditioned vehicle, you will get dropped off at the port after this amazing four-hour tour.

La Bufadora and Horseback
Horseback riding on the beach was fun and relaxing. The view was amazing.
La Bufadora was fun. The guide stayed with us through the village marketplace, and seeing the La Bufadora geyser was impressive! Overall it was a great excursion!

All day adventure!
This excursion ended up being a full day adventure which we were not prepared for but it ended up being great! It was safe, the guide was very nice & the staff where the horses are set up were amazing. They walked along side my kids with their horses & picked sand dollars up off the beach for all of the guests. Make sure to bring cash for the booths & food tents at la bufadora, & to tip the guides. We were not aware that it was such a long tour & we used the few dollars we had in our pockets to buy food for the family. This excursion is definitely worth the money.

Great tour
This was a super easy, great little tour that hit several different options. Just a short walk outside the port we boarded a shuttle. There was traffic getting to Bufadora but still had time to see the blowhole, shop, and get Lidiaメs tacos. Our guide kept good tabs on us. Then we got to do a quick horseback ride on the beach. Very pretty and near the ship. Guide offered to drive us by other areas of Ensenada or to stop at a store if needed. We felt safe the whole time and I was traveling just with myself (female) with my 7 year old son. This is a great simple option to do with kids that are big enough to get on the horses. .

Perfect Pick
This excursion gives you a little bit of everything you need. Sight seeing, great photo opportunities, tons of options for lunch, shops to buy souvenirs and ends with a horseback ride on the beach. I highly recommend. It's totally worth it!!
