Just Walk Off the Ship! Exploring Ensenada Without an Excursion
Visiting Ensenada on a cruise without an excursion booked? Join Shug and Alan as we walk off our Royal Caribbean cruise ship and explore Ensenada, Mexico, on our own! In this Ensenada cruise port tour, we show you what to expect from the moment you leave the ship, including the walk toward town, waterfront views, souvenir shops, colorful Ensenada signs, and places to eat. We share how long our walk took with photo stops, point out the downtown shuttle option, and offer practical tips along the way. We also stop at Papas & Beer for chicken tacos and fries—and share our honest thoughts on the food, prices, and whether we would eat there again. Plus, Shug takes on the waterfront fountains. Can she make it through without getting wet? If you’re wondering what to do in Ensenada without an excursion, come along and see whether exploring on foot is right for your next cruise port day. Prices and port conditions shown reflect our visit and may change. What’s your favorite thing to do in Ensenada? Share your recommendations—and your favorite taco spot—in the comments!
