Ensenada Zipline Adventure and La Bufadora Marine Geyser Tour
Fly over canyon trees on a five-line zipline, then stroll the bustling La Bufadora corridor and watch a marine geyser roar skyward. This half-day Ensenada tour blends adrenaline with coastal culture and local craft stalls.
The Experience
Before You Go
Check the tide
Schedule your visit near high tide for the most powerful La Bufadora blow—ask the operator about local tidal timing.
Footwear matters
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes for zipline platforms and uneven market walkways to protect toes and improve balance on suspension bridges.
Sun and wind protection
Bring sunscreen and a windproof layer—the peninsula can be sunny but gusty, especially on exposed platforms and viewpoints.
Travel light
Leave bulky bags on the vehicle; most zipline operators provide small lockers or ask you to secure items before each run.

Conservation Note
Respect marked areas and avoid climbing on rocks near the blowhole; pack out trash and purchase from local artisans to support the community and reduce environmental impact.
La Bufadora sits on a long-fished stretch of coast where sea caves and blowholes shaped local livelihoods; Ensenada grew as a port and marketplace for Baja agricultural and seafood goods.
