Submarine was cool, got to see many fish. We’re not told that we could not go ashore until the morning of causing us to have change plans

Ensenada, Mexico

We’re able to get on la bufadora tour which we were blocked from purchasing pre cruise. Extremely long bus rides of over 3 hours wasted most of the day
