Shore Excursions in Acapulco

When your cruise ship docks on Acapulco's port, embark on a tour that allows you to sightsee in addition to participating in a baby turtle release ceremony. The sightseeing tour hits all the Acapulco highlights, including La Quebrada, Diego Rivera's mural, and the Chapel of Peace. These two activities would be challenging to organize on your own with a short time in port; this tour combines them and arranges all the details in advance.

Next time your ship docks in Acapulco don't linger in port. Instead, head out on a comprehensive tour exploring Acapulco's vast offerings. A knowledgable guide will fill you in on the resort city's intriguing Hollywood past as your coach bus meanders along the scenic coast. Take in spectacular views of Acapulco Bay, stroll the gardens of the landmark Princess Hotel - aviator Howard Hughes's final residents - and watch world-renowned high divers perform from atop the La Quebrada cliffs. This shore excursion includes round-trip transport.

Watch Acapulco's most talented performers take high diving to a new level on with this cliff diving show in Acapulco, one of the area's premier attractions. Go with a guide to find the best viewpoints and learn about the history of the extreme sport, and even get a chance to meet the performers for a photo op after the show.

Marvel at gorgeous bays and towering cliffs from a scenic highway, then see the latest Acapulco has to offer in the 'Diamond Area,' which has beaches, a concert hall, and a convention center.     

Don't leave the waters behind on your next port of call: instead, embark on a small boat tour of Acapulco's lush Coyuca Lagoon. With tropical flora that includes floating water hyacinths and mangrove forest, this freshwater body often doubles for Asia in Hollywood films. Savor a buffet lunch while cruising through the spectacular jungle-like setting, keeping an eye out for white herons, storks and numerous other bird species as you go. This shore excursion features round-trip transport and the expertise of a bilingual guide.
