If you’re heading to Acapulco and want to combine breathtaking views with a unique local spectacle, the Sunset High Diver Show offers just that. This tour promises a memorable evening watching the famous cliff divers at La Quebrada while enjoying a curated dinner and drinks. As someone who’s seen a good mix of tours in the area, I can tell you this one stands out for offering a well-rounded experience—beautiful sunsets, authentic entertainment, and a touch of luxury.
Two things I particularly like about this tour are the spectacular sunset views from the best vantage point in La Perla and the informative, friendly guides who make the journey enjoyable. Plus, the included 3-course dinner paired with local drinks adds a layer of comfort and indulgence. On the flip side, one thing to keep in mind is that the dinner is described as “good but not spectacular,” so if you’re expecting an unforgettable gourmet meal, you might want to temper expectations.
This experience is ideal for travelers who want to see Acapulco’s iconic cliff-diving show in style, with the convenience of transportation and a dinner included. It works particularly well for those seeking a relaxed, guided evening that combines live entertainment with scenic beauty, especially if you appreciate good views paired with a meal.

The Booking and Price
At $102 per person, this tour offers a solid value, especially considering it covers transportation, dinner, drinks, and the show. It’s a budget-friendly way to enjoy a full evening without worrying about navigating your own way around or missing the main event. The tour is flexible, with options to reserve now and pay later, and the ability to cancel up to 24 hours in advance gives you some peace of mind.
The Pickup and Transportation
The tour begins with a convenient pickup from either the Mayan Palace at Vidanta Acapulco or Dreams Acapulco Resort & Spa.

The ride to La Perla takes about 50 minutes, giving you plenty of time to relax and soak in some local stories from your guide.
What Happens During the Tour
Once you arrive, you’ll be taken to a prime spot at La Perla Super Club, where you’ll have access to the “Best View Table”. This is where you’ll witness the cliff divers perform two high-energy shows. The timing is perfect to catch the sunset, which adds a magical glow to the spectacle—truly a highlight for many visitors.
While you’re soaking in the scenery, you’ll enjoy a 3-course “A La Carte” dinner, which typically includes a starter, main course, and dessert. The reviews suggest that while the food is tasty and satisfying, it’s not necessarily gourmet—more of a pleasant complement to the show rather than a culinary highlight.

Depending on your choice, you’ll be served two domestic drinks with your dinner, or just enjoy two drinks during the show if you opt for that.

Authentic Traveler Insights

From reviews, it’s clear that the guides are a major part of the experience. One reviewer said, “Rodolfo Fregoso (Rudy) was excellent—attentive and knowledgeable,” highlighting how guides can elevate even simple experiences. Others appreciated the entertainment during the drive and the stories about Acapulco’s history, which help deepen the overall enjoyment.
Several travelers mentioned that the dinner was “good but not spectacular,” but still a satisfying addition. The view of the sunset and the thrill of the diving are what most people come for, and those aspects seem to deliver consistently.
What Could Be Better?
Some might find the dinner somewhat basic, especially if you’re expecting a fine dining experience. Also, depending on the time of year, the sunset might occur slightly earlier or later, so it’s good to confirm the schedule beforehand. The show is only two performances, so if you’re expecting multiple, longer displays, this might be shorter than anticipated.
Who Should Consider This Tour?

If you’re looking for a well-organized evening that combines scenic sunset views with an exciting local spectacle, this tour is a solid choice. It’s especially good for visitors who want a hassle-free experience, with transportation and entertainment bundled together. It’s also suitable for those who enjoy a lively atmosphere, local drinks, and impressive visuals.
However, if gourmet dining or a longer, more immersive experience is your priority, you might find this tour somewhat limited. It’s best suited for travelers who want a fun, scenic, and culturally iconic event in a relaxed setting.
