Without doubt, Acapulco's most famous attraction. Divers plunge off cliffs 130 feet high into...
Dives are scheduled at 1pm, and in hours of darkness at 7pm, 8:30pm, 9:30pm, 10:30pm. At night, divers sometime carry torches to light their descent.
Dives can be viewed from balconies near the cove, for a small entrance fee. Alternatively, there is a hotel nearby, called El Mirador, which has a Restaurant-Bar called La Perla. You can watch the divers while eating your meal, or if you buy a drink at the bar.
"This is a large amusement and activities park, which also leads to two beaches: Playa Hornos and Playa Hornitos. Its features include a lake with paddleboats for hire, a roller-skating rink, a fun-fair with mechanical rides, an animal enclosure and aviary, and a pathway (circular circuit) which is over 1km in length is good if you like a morning run. There is no admission charge to go into the park and it's open from 6am to 8pm daily. The mechanical rides open later between 4 and 11pm. Great for kids and adults alike.
If want to see Acapulco Bay from the sea, day or night, you can take a cruise on one of the many boats offering tours of the bay from the Malecon which is near the centre of town.
"The Centro Internacional de Convivencia Infantil (always known as CICI) is a much-loved family water-sports park not far from the Centro de Convenciones. Dolphin, seal and diving shows are presented several times daily; there's also an 80m (260ft) water toboggan, a pool with artificial waves, a small tide pool aquarium and a Sky ride. A new attraction at CICI is Acapulco Mágico, offering swimming with dolphins. Any local bus marked 'CICI,' 'Base' or 'Puerto Marqués' will take you there.
There are two places to do this; the CICI (International Centre) Water Park or Condesa Beach.
"Highlights at this aquarium include a sea lion show, the feeding of crocodiles, piranhas and turtles, swimming pools, water toboggans and an oceanographic museum. There's also a restaurant, and you can take scuba lessons or hire snorkeling equipment. The aquarium stands on a small point of land on the Peninsula de Las Playas, between Playas Caleta and Caletilla. The area was the original Acapulco hotspot, but now has a non-touristy, nostalgic feel, especially the small shady plaza in front of the aquarium. Playas Caleta and Caletilla are favored by locals, particularly families with small children, as the water is very calm. Regular boats ferry passengers from here to Isla de la Roqueta, with its pleasant beaches and zoo. All buses marked 'Caleta' heading down La Costera will take you there.
Deep Sea fishing is quite popular. You can arrange day trips that include a boat, its captain and first mate, equipment, bait, food and drinks.
Tennis, Golf
If you want to go clubbing - Acapulco is one of the top two venues in Mexico for night clubbing. (The other one is Mazatlan). Lots of young people in Mexico go to Acapulco for the night-clubs. Some night clubs charge an all inclusive cover fee; some a smaller cover and drinks on top. Drinks are served all night - don't even consider going to a nightclub until about 11pm or even Midnight. Nightclubs keep going all morning and people will start to leave at around 5 or 6 am.
Beach Clubs - Most of open-air beach night clubs (which are becoming more and more popular) offer their clubbers techno alternative music genres to dance the night away to. Several of these beach clubs can be found near the Fiesta Americana hotel.
