Ensenada is a port town, where you will likely find one or two cruise liners docking here any given time of year. This port also has smaller, privately owned boats docked here, and some offer half-hour tours for a small price.
Having driven down here form Tijuana, we decided to go on a boat tour right before dinner, and once again after dinner.
The daytime ride was pretty cool. We were in a smaller boat, which meant we were able to feel the waves more. This was especially true when we cleared the breakwater. The waves were a bit stronger than normal that day, which made for a very fun ride.
Once we got back, we ate dinner, and we were once again ready to go on another boat ride. We were hoping to ride an even smaller boat, for an even more fun ride. However, there were far less boats available at that time of night, as most ship captains had already called it a day. We were able to get a ride on a slightly bigger ship, which didn't rock as much as the previous boat. However, nightfall had already set it, which provided opportunities for some great photos and videos. This was especially true because there were two cruise liners docked in Ensenada that evening, which provided a spectacular nighttime landscape.
The folks who staff this place are friendly, and the patrons are a nice crowd. The price is not high at all, it was around 210 pesos for three people. Most rides are a half hour, and I wonder if some boats will let you rent them for longer.
This is a fun attraction, located along the waterway in Ensenada. If you find yourself in the tourist area of this fine town, go for a boat ride. The cool ocean breeze and sunny skies will refresh you well. read more
