Experience Acapulco’s Cliff Divers with a Gourmet Twist: A Detailed Look at the DeLuxe Sunset Tour
If you’re dreaming of a night out in Acapulco that combines both spectacle and sophistication, this DeLuxe Cliff Divers+Sunset Exhibition tour might catch your eye. It’s designed for travelers who want more than just a show — it offers a scenic dinner, a guided ride along the city’s main drag, and the thrill of watching those legendary cliff divers.

The Itinerary: From Pickup to Sunset Spectacle
Your evening begins with hotel or cruise ship pickup. The tour provider, TourByVan, ensures a punctual and smooth start, so you won’t have to worry about finding your way. You’ll be transported in a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan as your guide shares insights about Acapulco’s sights and history, giving you a glimpse of the city’s vibrant life even before the main event.
After about 45 minutes, you arrive at one of Acapulco’s most iconic spots: La Perla at the historic El Mirador hotel. This venue isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a part of the local legend. Situated overlooking the Pacific, the setting is perfect for a sunset dinner. The menu features a delicious three-course meal, and if you’ve opted in, two glasses of wine or cocktails to toast the moment.
Dining with a View: Food and Drinks
The reviews praise the quality of the meal—many mention it’s more than just a standard tourist fare, with some reviewers calling the setting “wonderful” and the food “exquisite.” The dinner is served with a side of spectacular scenery, as you’re seated with a vantage point over the cliffs and the ocean beyond. The included drinks help set a relaxed tone, and the combination of good food and beautiful surroundings makes for a memorable experience.
Watching the Cliff Divers: The Main Attraction
The highlight is, of course, watching Acapulco’s legendary cliff divers perform their daring stunts. They risk their lives as they leap from towering heights into the ocean below — an act that’s both breathtaking and astonishing. Many reviews gush about the divers’ skill and bravery, describing the show as “spectacular” and “breath-taking.”
However, weather can play a role. One reviewer mentioned only catching one show due to rain, so if you’re visiting during a rainy season, keep in mind that the show might be shortened. That said, the experience of sitting there as the sun sets, drinks in hand, makes it worthwhile even if the full show isn’t possible.
The Guided Ride and City Highlights
Before or after the show, your guide will take you along La Costera, the city’s main boulevard. This part provides a chance to see Acapulco’s lively streets, impressive hotels, and local architecture. Many reviewers enjoyed this segment, mentioning that it added a local flavor to the evening.
Post-Experience Return
Once the show is over, your driver will take you back to your hotel or cruise ship. The tour ensures a stress-free end to your evening, with the driver handling the logistics so you can focus on the memories.
Is It Worth the Price?

At just over $65 per person, this tour offers a well-rounded package: guided transportation, dinner, drinks, and entertainment. The reviews consistently mention the good value—many feel they received a lot for their money, especially appreciating the skip-the-line advantage.
The inclusion of a professional guide adds value, as you gain insights into Acapulco’s history and culture, making the experience more enriching. The small group size (up to 999 travelers, but typically more intimate) means you’re likely to get personalized attention, and the overall organization gets high praise.
What Could Be Better?
Weather dependency is a notable consideration. If rain interrupts the show, you might leave a bit disappointed. Also, the duration of four hours might feel long for some, especially if you’re after a quick evening activity. Yet, for those wanting a relaxed, scenic, and entertaining night, it’s just right.
Who Is This Tour Best Suited For?
This experience is ideal for couples looking for a romantic night, small groups wanting a memorable outing, or anyone interested in local spectacle combined with good food. It’s also suitable for first-time visitors to Acapulco who want to see the city’s iconic cliff divers with the convenience of guided transport.
If you’re traveling with children, consider their comfort with heights and the evening’s pacing. Many reviews don’t specify age restrictions, but the activity’s nature and the dinner setting generally appeal more to adults.
Final Thoughts

This DeLuxe Cliff Divers+Sunset tour offers a beautiful blend of scenic views, cultural spectacle, and comfortable dining. The high praise from travelers for guides, food, and the show suggests it truly hits the mark for most visitors. It’s a good option if you value a relaxed, well-organized evening that combines sightseeing with a touch of adventure.
