But I didn't want to forget our day in Ensenada and pass on information to others who are planning their trips.
When the ship pulls ashore in Ensenada, you go through a little building and out onto the street. Don't be tempted by the items for sale in the shop, as they are pricer than what is available in town. Look for the Las Dunas Tour busses that are on the curb. At the time of our cruise they charged $3 per person and that was for a roundtrip ticket. The buses take you to their station at Plaza Pueblo Antiguo. During the ride there you will be told about the various tours that they offer. These tours will be about 50% less than the ones offered by the Cruiseline.
We had a group of 18 that day and we chose the horseback riding and La Bufadora. It was $35 for both or $15 for those that just wanted to go to La Bufadora. While we were riding, I mentioned to our guide Elizabeth that we were interested in the zipline. She told us that it wasn't near town and it was closed now, but if people are interested and you have a group like we did, you can call Las Dunas in advance and they will create a package for your group.
The horses weren't those stallions that you had in mind. As a matter of fact, there wasn't a stable or even and office. Just a bunch of tired horses on the roadside, near a wall that ran along the road. We picked out our horses, were assisted if needed and followed the trail through the field, across the street, and out to the beach about a quarter mile away. We rode our horses about 30 minutes before they automatically turned around and headed back (Union horses I think). We then proceeded to La Bufadora.
