See Acapulco’s legendary cliff divers perform daring jumps under night skies while you dine on gourmet dishes at La Perla restaurant. Enjoy ocean views, hotel pickup and drop-off, plus expert insight into this iconic tradition—all in one unforgettable evening.
Our driver picked us up just as the city lights started to flicker on, and we wound through Acapulco’s busy streets toward La Quebrada. The air felt warm against my skin, and you could hear distant music drifting from open windows. When we arrived at La Perla restaurant, the view over the cliffs was something I’d only seen in old postcards—waves crashing far below, tables set right by the glass.
The real excitement built slowly. Locals chatted nearby, their voices dropping as the divers appeared high above us. Our guide explained how these cliff divers have been doing this for generations, always waiting for just the right moment when the tide surges in. I could see them pausing at a small altar tucked into the rocks—some crossed themselves quickly before climbing even higher.
Dinner came out in three courses: fresh seafood that tasted like it had been caught that morning, then a main dish with local flavors I’d never tried before, and finally a sweet dessert that paired perfectly with the salty sea air. Between bites, we watched as each diver leapt from over 90 feet up, slicing into the dark water below while everyone held their breath for a second longer than usual.
The show usually begins after sunset, but exact times can vary depending on the season. Your pickup will be scheduled to get you there with time to settle in before it starts.
