“Ride Where the Mountains Touch the Sky — Discover Baja’s Hidden Trails”
🐎 Mountain Horseback Ride – A Scenic Shore Excursion in Ensenada
One of the top-rated Ensenada shore excursions for cruise passengers!
Looking for something special during your cruise stop in Ensenada? Our guided mountain horseback riding tour offers a peaceful, authentic escape with incredible views of the Pacific Ocean and a taste of Baja California’s natural beauty — all just 25 minutes from the Ensenada cruise port.
🌵 About the Ride
Our ride begins at a private ranch away from the tourist crowds. From there, we’ll guide you through the local hills where you’ll pass by real Mexican ranches, wind through quiet desert trails, and experience the calm of nature. You’ll be surrounded by native plants like white sage and jojoba, and if the season’s right, wildflowers will be in full bloom.
Along the way, keep your eyes open for jackrabbits, roadrunners, and even farm animals like goats, pigs, and roosters. At the top of the hill, you’ll reach a breathtaking lookout point with 360° views of the Pacific Ocean, Ensenada Bay, and the surrounding mountains.
This is not a touristy loop — it’s a real Baja adventure and one of the best-rated horseback riding experiences in Ensenada.
