Creator's Key Takeaways

This wasn't just something we checked off a list. It was different. It was personal and it was memorable for us.

So if you're sailing Ruby Princess Insanada and you want something beyond the typical tourist experience, this is a strong recommendation from us.

It was educational. It was unique. It was beautifully executed and it felt authentic.

This made it worth it. I know.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Wear comfortable shoes for the ranch setting.
Bring sunscreen no matter the time of year.
Listen carefully to the safety instructions.
Book early as smaller group excursions fill up quickly.
Be present: take photos but then put the camera down to feel the moment.

If you're sailing on Ruby Princess, Discovery Princess, or Carnival Panorama, this unique experience in Valle de Guadalupe wine country might be the most memorable thing you do in port. In this video we review the Harris’s Hawk Falconry Encounter at El Cielo Resort, one of the most unique Princess Cruises excursions in Ensenada. Instead of a typical city tour or tequila tasting, this excursion takes you into Baja California’s famous wine region for an immersive falconry experience with trained birds of prey. You'll see exactly what this Ensenada cruise port excursion is like from transportation to the valley, to the moment a Harris’s Hawk flies directly to your arm, and finally a relaxing brunch at one of the most beautiful winery resorts in Mexico. This excursion combines wildlife, wine country scenery, and gourmet dining, making it one of the most unique things to do in Ensenada from a cruise ship. What’s Included in This Ensenada Excursion Transportation from the Ensenada Cruise Port We show exactly where to meet your tour and what the ride to Valle de Guadalupe looks like.
