Creator's Key Takeaways

This is such a warm welcome. We've never been to this port before.

I think it's I enjoy walking around it and looking at it more than Nassau.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Look for sea lions at the Wind Jammer buoys when disembarking in Ensenada.
Consider the $4 round-trip shuttle if you don't want to walk to downtown Ensenada.
