*4 Hours Shore Excursion With Cruise Ship Terminal Pick Up.

The La Quebrada cliff divers are the main event, and this four-hour outing gives you a practical way to see them without spending your limited port time in souvenir shops. You also get a quick but varied look at Acapulco, from wealthy hillside homes and a hilltop chapel to downtown streets and the old Casa Blanca Hotel.

I like the no-shopping-stop policy, since every minute counts on a cruise visit. I also like the mix of photo stops and local explanation. Guides such as Rudy, Mario, and Jesus have taken visitors through Acapulco’s neighborhoods, markets, hotels, and landmarks, rather than sticking only to the polished waterfront.

The main consideration is the vehicle. One party found the van tight for six people, and another described a small vehicle with difficult access. If comfort or easy boarding matters to you, ask about the vehicle and group size before departure.
