We grew up with animals and we support this wonderful Non-Profit* cause which Rescues, Rehabilitates, and Trains the horses that come to them, many times in very poor condition. They also have a menagerie of other critters that they have rescued or been given and provide a loving home for Pigs, Goats, Dogs, Cats, and a variety of Birds, love those Chickens! It is situated in the hills off the beach near Rosarito where Krystal found her first Mare and Colt who were in dire need of help. They try to find homes for all of their charges, there are the favorites and the misfits, so yes, most!

Passion, Safety, and a Memorable Experience are what you can expect on our tours in Baja and San Diego.
We bring our extensive resumes, cultural knowledge, language; English and Spanish, and rare expertise regarding San Diego, California, and Baja California Norte, Mexico.
With these jaunts, we show you how amazingly culturally diverse the surrounding San Diego area is and that we are not alone here, we have Tijuana and Northern Baja California which have been and are forever connected in so many ways. Most people do not notice this but once our clients experience Mexico, they realize the many similarities but also, the major differences which exist today and will in the future. This includes the restaurants, eateries, food trucks, wineries breweries, and of course, the Margaritas on both sides of the border.
Our trips throughout our region include many interesting, eclectic, and awe-inspiring locations which you will not receive from the other tour companies. We are not just a drive and drop off Tour Company, we are in constant interaction whether it is on the bus or on the ground.
We love sharing in a fun, safe, and energy-filled environment which we hope will open our client’s eyes to what it is to really see and experience the incredibly fascinating places in our neck of the woods.
We encourage multi-day custom trips so you can really get the feel of San Diego and Baja.
