Tours In Acapulco
Anything from a two-hour trip around the town to a day-trip to Mexico City can be made by guided tour from one of Acapulco's hundreds of travel agents or any large hotel. Unless you're very short of time, however - or desperately bored - it's not worth dishing out the sums charged for the privilege. Boat-trips are more appealing. You can rent your own cruiser - inevitably very expensive - along the malecon to go sea-fishing or diving (haggle fiercely), or try one of the assorted bay cruises or outings in glass-bottomed boats. You'll see details and prices posted up all over town; you can book in any big hotel or simply go down to the quayside - either opposite the zocalo or a few hundred metres west - at departure time. Night-time excursions are particularly appealing, illuminated by the lights of the town shining out from all around the bay. After dark, too, most of the boats lay on some kind of entertainment as they cruise: the huge Yate Hawaiano , for example, boasts three bars and dance floors. Prices vary with the length of the trip and what is offered, but US$10-20 for a couple of hours with a free bar is typical at night, US$8-12 with no free bar during the day.
