If you’re heading to the Mexican coast, chances are you’ve heard about Acapulco’s legendary cliff divers at La Quebrada. This isn’t just a tourist attraction; it’s a genuine piece of local tradition dating back to 1934. While many visitors just watch the show from afar, this tour offers a chance to see the divers up close, enjoy some drinks, and even sit down for a meal if you choose. It’s a lively, authentic experience that captures the daring spirit of Acapulco, with options to tailor the evening to your preferences.
What we love about this tour is the opportunity to witness two stunning high-diving exhibitions from a prime vantage point, plus the inclusion of drinks and optional dinner that make the evening special without breaking the bank. The guide’s local insights add a warm, personal touch to the experience. The only potential consideration? If you’re not a fan of crowds or nighttime activities, this might feel a bit lively for some. But overall, it’s perfect for travelers craving a blend of adventure, culture, and a taste of Acapulco’s vibrant nightlife.
Ideal for those wanting an authentic local show, curious about Mexican tradition, or simply looking for an entertaining evening that’s both safe and well-organized, this tour hits the right notes.

Acapulco’s high cliff divers are more than just a show—they’re a living piece of the city’s soul. This tour offers a chance to see one of Mexico’s most iconic spectacles up close, with the added benefits of comfort and a bit of luxury. We love how the tour combines spectacle with storytelling, as your guide shares the history behind the daring jumps and local lore that make the dives so special.
Two things stand out about this experience: the spectacular views from El Mirador and the chance to enjoy two included drinks while watching the divers in action. The evening setting adds a romantic glow to what already is a heart-stopping display of courage. One possible drawback? The tour’s duration at around 3.5 to 4 hours means you’ll want to plan your evening accordingly, especially if you’re on a tight schedule. But for those looking for a memorable, well-organized night out, this ticks all the boxes.
If your idea of travel involves authentic cultural experiences with a touch of adventure, this tour is a great pick. It’s especially suited for first-timers eager to see Acapulco’s most famous tradition or seasoned travelers wanting a safe way to enjoy the city’s lively night scene.

Expect a comfortable, air-conditioned ride to the west coast of the city, heading out of the busy bay area to the scenic El Mirador viewpoint.
The Drive and City Insights
Along the way, your guide shares tidbits about Acapulco’s history, the origins of the cliff diving tradition, and tips for appreciating the show. This is a good chance to settle in, enjoy the surroundings, and start building anticipation. The drive itself offers a chance to appreciate the city beyond the usual tourist spots.
Arrival at La Quebrada
Once at La Quebrada, you’ll be shown to your reserved table—preferably with a great view—ready to witness two high cliff diving exhibitions. These dives are the highlight, showcasing local divers plunging from heights that leave most of us trembling just watching. The show runs in the evening, adding a romantic, almost cinematic backdrop.
The Dives and the Atmosphere
The divers perform from cliffs over 35 meters high, plunging into the sea with remarkable precision. Each jump is a testament to bravery and skill. Spectators often comment on how close you feel to the action, especially if seated near the front. During the show, you’ll enjoy two drinks, which could be cocktails, wine, or beer, included in your ticket if you choose that option.
Options for Dinner and Sunset Drinks
For those wanting a more indulgent experience, there’s an upgrade to include dinner and a sunset drink. Imagine watching the divers with a glass of wine or a cold beer in hand, the setting sun casting a golden glow. If you opt for the private version, the evening can include dinner at La Perla Nightclub or other local spots, making for an elegant, relaxed night.
Additional Options and Flexibility
The tour offers flexibility: if you prefer a more exclusive experience, a private option is available, complete with dinner and sunset drinks. This allows you to tailor the experience to your mood and budget, whether you want a quick, lively show or a more leisurely, gourmet affair.
At $72 per person, including transportation, two shows, and drinks, this tour is quite competitive given the quality and authenticity of the experience.

The drinks are another highlight—being able to sip on a cocktail or beer while watching the jumps elevates the night. And if you decide to include dinner, you’ll find the added value makes this experience a full evening of enjoyment rather than just a quick show.
The tour’s pickup service covers all hotels and Airbnb accommodations in Acapulco, making it straightforward to join. The round-trip air-conditioned transport takes you from the city’s chaos to the calmer, scenic outlook at El Mirador. Timing varies, but generally, the shows occur at sunset, giving you the perfect lighting for photos and a romantic ambiance.

However, for travelers seeking a quiet, daytime activity or something more low-key, this might feel a bit lively and late in the day. Also, those with mobility issues might want to confirm the accessibility of the viewing areas and transportation.
