What To Expect
After midmorning pickup, travel with your guide about 24 miles (39 km) south of Ensenada to the Punta Banda Peninsula. En route, enjoy the passing landscapes of mountains and the Pacific Ocean.
Arrive at La Bufadora, the largest sea geyser in North America. Hear from your guide about how air, trapped in a sea cave, causes water to explode upward, often shooting more than 100 feet (31 meters) above sea level, creating a thunderous noise. Depending on the strength of the waves, this phenomenon repeats about every minute, so you are sure to see La Bufadora in action.
Then, your guide takes you to a popular sidewalk market of handicrafts and souvenirs made in Baja California. Find fun home décor items and gifts here, and then relax with food and drinks at one of the nearby restaurants (own expense) offering stunning views of the ocean.
Your 4-hour tour ends with drop-off back at your hotel.
Please note: A minimum of two people per booking is required.

What a great tour! Our guide was so knowledgeable and courteous.
Not only did we see the "blowhole" but also the local area.
Highly recommended!

This was such an amazing tour that really made our cruise vacation! Eugina was our driver and guide and she went above and beyond for us to make sure we learned about the area, tasted the best food and experienced Encenada!

Eugenia met us at the cultural center and told us all about the interesting history of the building. Then on the drive out to Ka Bufadora, she answered all our questions and shared her knowledge of Ensenada. The market “walk” to get to the geyser is a bit intense with venders but with her help she quickly pointed out the true Mexican artisan shops were. The geyser was beautiful, ate some shrimp skewers with a beer and headed back. A great tour. We were lucky to be the only 2 people on the tour.

Worst customer services I had experienced. I booked the excursion for the cruise I was on, however, the cruise captain notified us that the cruise couldn’t dock at the port for the safe concern, so my family and I were not able to get on the land. I called Viator customer service immediately to cancel the trip, the agent on the phone told me it will be processed in 5-10 days. When I’m back from the trip, nothing was done. I had to request again myself, the customer service agent had no help but trying to deny the responsibility as a platform agent. No solution was provided, no communication was bridged between me and the vendor. Any solution from the platform I would consider use the service again, this is my first time and last time being your customer!

Dear visitor, at the time of placing your reservation, and before paying, you have our refund policies that you need to read and agree before paying. We offer a full refund if you cancel 24hrs. before the tour. You need to understand that we have costs to be ready for you that we can’t recover. If your captain decides to don’t dock, is not your fault but not our fault neither.
Please, contact us directly to check your case and see if we can reschedule as an exception for you.
I would need your name and date of the tour. Thanks.

Ricardo was amazing! I would ask for him to be your you guide! Bufadora was fun to see. Being bombarded by street vendors was overwhelming especially for my little one.
