A Personal Transformation: How Jesse Found Peace and Purpose in Ensenada
In the warm, sun-drenched hills of Ensenada, Mexico, a personal transformation led to the creation of a one-of-a-kind travel service that helps visitors navigate the city like locals. For Jesse Ryan Atkinson, the founder of Ensenada Excursions and Tours, the journey was both a professional and personal one, a path that started with burnout, cancer, and heartbreak, but ultimately blossomed into the mission of providing a more personalized, private, and stress-free travel experience for others.
After consulting career burnout and surviving cancer, Jesse found himself seeking a new purpose in the laid-back coastal city of Ensenada. “I moved here in 2011 to reinvent my life and heal,” he shares. “The outdoors, the slower pace of life, and the vibrant community became my refuge. As I got healthier, I began seeking out more adventures in nature, and I wanted to share that sense of peace and excitement with others.”
A Breakthrough Moment: The Birth of Ensenada Excursions and Tours
What started as a small business, Ensenada Massage, soon led Jesse to realize that navigating the city as a tourist wasn’t always as easy or seamless as it should be. From transportation challenges and language barriers to finding Covid-safe spots, the logistics of enjoying a day in Ensenada were often frustrating for travelers. That’s when Jesse had his breakthrough moment, a moment that not only changed his life but also the lives of countless visitors to Ensenada.
“After taking a Carnival Cruise in 2019, I was struck by the crowds and long waits, even in my own city,” Jesse recalls with a chuckle. “It was then I realized that travelers needed a more private and customizable option to explore the best of Ensenada. I wanted to create something that gave people the freedom to choose their own adventure without feeling restricted by large groups or pre-planned bus itineraries.”
This realization led to the birth of Ensenada Excursions and Tours, a company designed to provide personalized, private shore excursions, transportation, and tours throughout Ensenada. Unlike the mass-market offerings of cruise line-sponsored tours, Jesse’s service offers a unique, local touch. From exploring Valle de Guadalupe’s renowned wineries to enjoying a secluded beach day or savoring local street tacos, Ensenada Excursions and Tours provides unparalleled flexibility, catering to both families and friends who want to enjoy a stress-free, tailor-made experience.
