Ocean sportfishing excursions are the choice for many. When the fishing is good, the fishing is really good!

Fishing tours can be booked for full or half days, but the full day booking represents the best value. Splitting the cost 8 ways makes this excursion more affordable.

The Touristica area includes the shops on First Avenue, the Boulevard, and the marina / fish market. The area has great views, shopping and great food as well. From award winning gourmet french restaurants, seafood restaurants surrounding the fish market, to McDonalds, and everything in between, there's something for every palate downtown.

There's also horse drawn carriage rides, quad rentals, museums, and the truly giant Mexico flag to satisfy your tourist cravings.

How about a beautiful day at the beach? Just you and your quad tearing up the dunes! Local businesses are giving us great deals on their rentals so you can enjoy more bang for your buck.

Rentals can be arranged for individuals or take the whole group out for an afternoon of fun and adventure.

There are three natural blow-holes in the world and one of them is right here in Ensenada. When the tides, winds, and waves are surging you can expect to get soaked if you venture close enough to the blow-hole. Of course, like any good tourist attraction there are plenty of souvineer shops to test your barganing skills at.

A few hours at "the buf" is usually enough to satisfy most shopping cravings and can easily be combined with other free day options.

Grab your suit and towel, we're heading for the beach! Oh, and don't forget the shovels. Yes shovels. At Agua Caliente Beach there is a hot spring running under the sand on the beach. So, dig yourself a hot tob and enjoy! But be careful, the water can get pretty hot.

Great waves, beach vendors, and sometimes ultrlight flights are available at the beach.

The annual migration of Gray whales bring them south from the cold waters around Alaska -where they spend the summer- to the warmer waters of Baja California for the winter. These huge, charismatic cetaceans swim almost 4000 miles south at an average of 12 miles per hour.

Once in the Mexican peninsula, around the last week of December, the gray whales begin to be in sight between Todos Santos islands and the Ensenada bay on their way south. The migration season runs from November to February but the best time to watch big concentrations of these magnificent mammals parading off the Ensenada coast is the last week of January.
