Ensenada Zipline & La Bufadora Private Excursion — Las Cañadas Canopy and Blowhole Tour
Combine adrenaline on five ziplines with the raw coastal power of La Bufadora on a private, six-hour Ensenada excursion. Pickup from port or hotel, guides, helmets and harnesses included—this one-day tour blends adventure, local food stops, and market browsing.
The Experience
Before You Go
Book morning slots
Morning departures often catch calmer seas at La Bufadora and cooler temperatures on the zipline platforms—ask for an early pickup if possible.
Wear grippy shoes
Closed-toe hiking shoes or trail runners give needed traction on platforms, trails, and the slick rocks near the blowhole.
Bring a compact rain shell
Coastal wind can produce spray from the blowhole—light waterproof layers keep you comfortable during the viewing window.
Mind harness limits and age rules
Minimum zipline age is 3 years with a height requirement; check harness size limits (waist and thigh) and disclose any health issues before booking.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Walk the short coastal trail west of the main viewing platform for quieter vistas.
- •Try a small, family-run taco stand near the port for local seafood tostadas away from the main tourist stretch.
Wildlife
- •Brown pelicans
- •Shorebirds like willets and sanderlings
Conservation Note
Stay on marked paths and avoid climbing on algae-covered rocks; local operators emphasize leaving no trace and minimizing disturbance to shorebirds and intertidal life.
La Bufadora has long been a local landmark where sea caves focus wave energy into towering spouts; Ensenada developed as a fishing and port town serving Baja’s coastal communities.
