Sunset High Diver Show with 3-Course Dinner and Drinks: An Authentic Acapulco Experience

If you’re heading to Acapulco and want to combine spectacular scenery with excitement and great food, the Sunset High Diver Show at La Perla offers a memorable evening. For around $102 per person, you get to watch the famous cliff divers at La Quebrada, enjoy a delicious three-course dinner, and sip on two Mexican drinks as the sun dips below the horizon. The whole experience lasts about four hours, making it a relaxed yet exciting addition to your trip.
What we particularly love about this tour is how it balances spectacle with local flavor. The views of the sunset are truly some of the best in the world, offering a stunning backdrop for the show. Plus, the guide’s knowledgeable commentary about Acapulco’s history and the divers makes the experience feel authentic and personal. The included transportation is also a big plus, removing the hassle of figuring out logistics in a busy tourist spot.
However, a possible consideration is that the dinner is described as “rich but not spectacular,” so if you’re expecting a gourmet meal, you might want to temper expectations. Also, since the tour involves pre-booking and pick-up from your hotel or Airbnb, it’s best suited for travelers who prefer guided experiences rather than exploring on their own.
This tour suits travelers who cherish iconic sights combined with a touch of luxury and are eager to capture memorable sunset views. It’s particularly great for those who love authentic local experiences with a bit of thrill, and appreciate guides who enrich the trip with stories and insights.

A Detailed Look at the Sunset High Diver Show Tour

The Location and Setting
The tour takes place in Chihuahua (State), Mexico, specifically at the famous La Quebrada in Acapulco — a site renowned worldwide for its spectacular cliff diving. The show has become an iconic symbol of the city, drawing visitors from around the globe. Watching the sun set over the Pacific, with the daring divers performing from cliffs over 35 meters high, offers a unique and unforgettable spectacle.
Transportation and Convenience
The tour includes round-trip transportation from your hotel or Airbnb in Acapulco. We loved the fact that pickup is free, and the vehicle is air-conditioned, making the journey comfortable. It’s approximately 50 minutes from the designated pickup points — either Mayan Palace at Vidanta or Dreams Acapulco Resort & Spa — to La Perla Super Club, where the viewing platform is located.
On the way, your guide (who speaks English, Spanish, and French) shares stories about Acapulco’s history and the diving tradition, enriching your experience beyond just the visual spectacle. This personalized touch makes a significant difference, especially if you’re interested in local culture or traveling with family.

The Dinner and Drinks
The 3-course dinner is described as “A La Carte,” meaning a variety of dishes to choose from.

The two domestic drinks help relax the atmosphere and are included if you opt for that package.
Many guests appreciate having local beer or wine to sip while watching the show, which enhances the ambiance. The dinner timing coincides with the show, so you’re able to savor your meal while enjoying the spectacle without missing a dive.
The Show Itself
The high cliff diving at La Quebrada is world-famous and has been a must-see for decades. The divers perform from over 35 meters above the water, executing flips and twists that require impressive skill and courage. As one reviewer noted, “The show of the divers is iconic,” emphasizing how this spectacle remains a highlight of any trip to Acapulco.
The guides are often praised for their enthusiasm and knowledge, providing insights about the divers’ techniques and history, which adds depth to the viewing experience. The show lasts about 15-20 minutes, but the atmosphere and views make it feel much longer and more exciting.
