Sample Shore Excursions
La Bufadora

After departing from the pier drive through Ensenada and into the countryside past farms and olive groves en route to La Bufadora (or blowhole). This natural phenomenon shoots water through crevices formed in the cliff's rock face. You will have time to shop for souvenirs at some of the small stores that line the path to the blowhole. Your tour continues to Riviera Pacifica, once a hotel and casino, now used for cultural events. A Mariachi Band will serenade you on the patio as you sip a complimentary beverage and wander through craft displays by local artisans. Enter the Grand Ballroom for a Mexican Folkloric show featuring singers, dancers and, of course, the Mariachis! The costumed cast will introduce you to several Mexican regions through song and dance. As the Mariachis bid you farewell, you'll have a few more minutes to browse amongst the artisans. Leaving Riviera Pacifica, you'll have the option to return directly to the ship or be dropped off in the downtown area (providing your own transportation back to the pier).

Ensenada City

Your tour begins with a narrated drive through Ensenada, passing the monuments of the old city. Travel through residential areas and pass the University of Baja California, the Research Center and Plaza Civica, home to the largest Mexican flag in the country. Arriving at the center of town, stop at the Riviera Pacifica, once a hotel and casino, now used for cultural events. A Mariachi Band will serenade you on the patio as you sip a complimentary beverage and wander through craft displays by local artisans. Enter into the Grand Ballroom for a Mexican Folkloric show featuring singers, dancers and, of course, the Mariachis! The costumed cast will introduce you to several Mexican regions through song and dance. As the Mariachis bid you farewell, you'll have a few more minutes to browse amongst the artisans.

Casa Domecq Winery

During the approximate 45- minute drive from the port to the wine region your guide will introduce you to the history of Ensenada, its people and customs. Visit L.A. Cetto, established in 1926, and Casa Domecq Winery, well- known and respected for its sherries, brandies and wines for three centuries. Local guides will escort you on a walking tour of the facilities. See firsthand the art of wine making and have the opportunity to taste a variety of wines and assorted cheeses from both wineries. Your tour concludes with a drive back through the countryside to Ensenada and the ship.

Fox Studios Foxploration

Foxploration is located on Baja California's Pacific Coast, approximately 60 minutes from the Ensenada cruise ship pier. When you pass through Foxplorations' gates plan to leave the world as you know it behind and enter into a world of movie magic where imagination and reality merge and the impossible becomes possible. Foxploration was conceived to offer the public an opportunity to go behind the scenes at a working movie studio and learn firsthand about the production process in an entertaining and interactive way. Begin your visit with a walk down Canal Street, New York, an actual movie set depicting a typical lower Manhattan street. Behind the set is Cinemegico, which includes a variety of interactive exhibits on special visual and sound effects, set construction, model making lighting techniques, makeup and more. The Titanic Expo displays props, sets and costumes from the film. The Planet of the Apes exhibit takes you behind the scenes of the recent re-make, where you see actual props, sets and make up. Dolly Plaza features the original fountain from Hello Dolly and is also a 'sets Bone Yard' where you may see actual set pieces from Fox films. The Props and Wardrobe Bodega is a fully functioning props storage and work area and part of Fox Studios Baja where you may view its collection of props from current and past Twentieth Century Fox movies. All of this and more awaits you as you explore the world of movie magic!
