Do all tours include pick-up?

Morning departures are usually best for cruise guests. We confirm your exact pickup based on your ship schedule.

Submit your request form. To secure your date, we request a $50 deposit via Venmo @your-handle | Zelle hello@bajaensenadatours.com.

What if weather changes?

Safety comes first. If weather affects an activity, we help you reschedule or adjust your itinerary.

What do shore excursions include?

Each shore excursion includes private cruise-port pickup with your name sign, transportation in a clean air-conditioned vehicle that is licensed, insured, and properly registered in Mexico, a bilingual local guide, and our back-to-ship guarantee. You also get English-language support by email, text, and WhatsApp, plus return drop-off at the port or downtown. If you want, we can add a 30-minute stop for tacos or souvenirs, and every tour is customized with 1 to 3 activities for your group.

How do I book?

Start by choosing a Single Tour, a Combo Package with 2 to 3 activities, or requesting a custom quote. We collect one refundable deposit per group, and the remaining amount is applied to your total. After booking, we email a photo of your pickup location and manually confirm the outstanding balance. On tour day, meet us at your personalized sign at the cruise port or at your hotel pickup point.

When should I reserve my tour?

Most dates fill up around one week in advance. You can book online up to 24 hours before your arrival.

What if I am not on a cruise?

If you are not arriving by cruise, we still offer free pickup in Ensenada and, when routing allows, along our route. We can also meet you downtown at Mar Azul Spa, our sister company. Pickup from Valle de Guadalupe, Rosarito, Tijuana, and San Diego is available with a custom quote.

Do you offer Royal Caribbean Ensenada excursions?

Yes. We provide cruise-port pickup for Royal Caribbean and all other cruise lines, including ships such as Navigator of the Seas, Disney Magic, Crown Princess, Princess Discovery, Norwegian Bliss, and more. Our tours are private and customizable, so they are a strong alternative when ship tours are sold out or do not match what you want.

Are your drivers and vehicles professional?

Yes. All vehicles are licensed, insured, and federally permitted in Mexico, and our drivers are experienced local professionals. Tip: when comparing operators, always verify they carry both a federal permit and passenger insurance.

Do you offer Carnival Cruise Ensenada excursions?

Yes. We serve guests from Carnival Radiance, Carnival Miracle, Carnival Panorama, Carnival Firenze, and other ships, including Viking Star.
