ACAPULCO SUN AND FUN ON OUR YACHT AND SEE THE CLIFF DIVERS TOO!  
  Snorkel, kayak, munch and play in the beautiful Acapulco Bay. This trip is the best of all worlds. You will board this boat feeling the energy of excitement. The boat is just the right size and design to allow those enjoying it to feel ownership of this personal experience.

For the next four hours, you can take over this vessel. On the way out, when the timing is just right, you will find yourselves with a bird's eye view of the famous la Quebrada high cliff divers. The location of your boat gives you an unbelievable view of the splash of the divers as they enter the water from their high perch.

You will probably be chatting about that all the way to a hidden cove, where you can snorkel and swim to your heart's delight. Kayaks will be provided for your use, as well as a water trampoline. You will also find water floats for some moments of mellow meditation.

Once you have worked up an appetite, you will join others on board for a huge luncheon buffet. Expect to find fish filet, BBQ chicken, turkey hot dogs, pasta salad, and assorted accompaniments. To wash this all down, you will have a selection of beverages including sodas, juice, beer, tequila sunrises and bottled water.

Now that you are satisfied, you can find your spot on deck, sit back, and enjoy a coastal cruise back to town while listening to the wind and some pleasant music.

ACAPULCO'S BEST CITY TOUR INCLUDING QUEBRADA CLIFF DIVERS    
  See the highlights of this wonderful city along with a few places not usually seen. Acapulco sweeps around a dazzling bay and you will be able to appreciate it right from the beginning of this tour, which will take you into the hills that reign above the bay to catch the scenic view. It is stunning, and its narrow roads are bordered with colorful scenes, both new and old, as you travel. As you begin heading down into the urban scene, you will find beautiful residential neighborhoods displaying the sophisticated Mexican architecture that has become world famous.

Yet, entering the market area and the zocalo will bring you back to the old days. The shady zocalo is worth a trip to experience a glimpse of local life and color. At one end you will see the cathedral Nuestra Senora de la Soledad, with its blue Byzantine towers.

As you leave this area, you will see the steamship dock on one side and the 18th-century fort, Fuerte San Diego on the other side atop its bayside hill, and then you enter the busy streets of Acapulco.

This tour will take you to some sights normally not included in a tour of Acapulco. A drive by the famous home of Diego Rivera delivers a breathtaking sight. A stop at the Hotel Los Flamingos will bring back the memories of John Wayne, Johnny Weissmuller, and Rory Calhoun as you see their photos lining the walls.

You will continue into Acapulco, which teems with commerce. As your guide tells you all the history of this area, you will slowly see the sign of the Chapel of Peace, a large white cross, reveal itself on top of a hill in the distance.

A short visit to Chilapita, a little crafts market where the craftsmen and women from the little town of Chilapa come to sell their wares to the street vendors. You will able to watch these people create beautiful wares that you can buy for amazing prices. Take a picture of the artist to give when you deliver some of your prizes to friends at home.

And it wouldn't be a visit to Acapulco without a stop to see the famous Quebrada Cliff Divers. The ride up to the jump point is dramatic in itself. You will arrive just in time to see a couple of fearless young men dive into what seems to be an incredibly small spot among the rocks. Afterwards, they will climb up to greet you and pose for a photo with you. You can thank them with a tip, as they do risk their lives without other compensation.

HORSEBACK RIDE ON REVOLCADERO BEACH    
  We've seen these horses. They're healthy and well groomed. The ride to the stables is lovely and will take about 30 minutes. The beach where you will ride is a broad, miles-long stretch of yellow-white sand. This area, called the Diamond area, borders on the ocean waters which provides rolling waves into shore, something you cannot find in Acapulco Bay. The beach is Playa Revolcadero and it is home to some of the best hotels in the city. Along this beach you will take a ride on one of the handsome animals owned by this stable. You will have approximately 1 hour on your horse.

    Pricing:  Per Person: $69.00 USD 
 
JETBOAT ECO ADVENTURE    
  Hold on tight! We're going to spin around and shoot through the mangroves. This tour has been created to be a mixture of both eco-tourism and adventure using custom designed boats that will whisk you through Acapulco's mangroves canals. Some would call this a white-knuckle but we call it lots of fun. These narrow canals of water between the mangroves are just outside of downtown Acapulco, allowing you to see the city as you travel to this tour.

As with all our tours, you will receive safety instructions and your life jacket before boarding your boat. Each boat has a capacity of 9 pax, keeping this a small tour in spite of its popularity.

Not only will you learn about the eco-system in your travels through the mangroves but you will enjoy a few thrilling twirls and spins on the water. A speed of 40 miles per hour will end the tour with a spinout designed to thrill.
    Departures (Local Island Time):  10:00 AM (2 hrs)  12:00 PM (2 hrs)  02:00 PM (2 hrs)  
    Pricing:  Per Person: $69.00 USD Children ages 6-12: $41.00 USD (No one under age 6 yrs allowed.)  
 
SPORTFISHING FROM FAMOUS ACAPULCO BAY    
  Where better to meet a sailfish face to face! This company has a variety of well-maintained fishing boats of different sizes. They also have a wonderful crew who love to fish. They will escort you to the best waters in the area where they have found recent success. They go out everyday so they will know where the sleeping fish are hiding.

The game is sailfish, tuna, and dorado, with an occasional rooster fish. During good times, the boats average a big marlin or sailfish apiece. It seems that the best months for sailfish are November, December and January. Marlin are more likely in February and March. But there are no rules, and you may be surprised with snook, snapper or tuna any time of the year.

We will give you the option of purchasing a box lunch when you make your booking. It will consist of several fresh fruits, yogurt, pastries, sandwiches, chips, sort of breakfast and lunch together. There is a cash bar on board the boats.

    Pricing:  Per Person: $92.00 USD (Per single fishing line)  Box Lunch: $14.00 USD 
 
SCUBA...TWO TANK DIVE    
  Wrecks, caves, reefs and exotic fish - all within easy reach, whether you're a diver or snorkeler. A dive with our shop in Acapulco will be much more than a dive experience. This dive will take you to Isla Roqueta, a short boatride away, where the water is clear and fish are plentiful.

On this dive, you will see lots of eagle rays and yellow tales. Rock formations and caves are found under the surface as well. The boat ride out will allow you to get another glimpse of the bay as you enter open water. A personable crew will aid you as you ready yourself and take the plunge.

Our dive shop has been actively involved in the ecological recovery of Acapulco's marine natural beauty. We search for those shops interested in the preservation of nature's gift.
    Departures (Local Island Time):  09:00 AM (4 hrs)  
    Pricing:  Per Person: $76.00 USD Ride along & snorkel: $44.00 USD
