I simply cannot say enough good things about Fish R Us.  It was truly a fantastic day.

After meeting us with a sign on the curb outside the port building, they took us in two vans back to their office and explained some things about what we would be doing and suggested that anyone hoping not to use the yacht's head might want to use their bathroom before we left.  We paid Eduardo and headed to the boat.  Our captain, Freddy, was originally from Texas, so everything he told us as we cruised around was very easy to understand.  Our first stop was the cliff divers.  Apparently we’d missed their early show, so Fish R Us made a call and were able to arrange one just for us.  I hope all the other tourists who got to watch were grateful!!  We were lounging around on a beautiful yacht, with drinks in hand (I had something called a ‘Poloma’, tequila and Fresca, which was delicious), and had the best view I could imagine for the show – right on the water where we could see everything.  We all felt like we were a LOT better off than the people standing on those balconies in the hot sun, surrounded by other hot tourists, and as it turned out, some other girls from our roll call were actually among them and took a picture of our boat because they thought it was so neat.  Two boys swam out to the boat for pictures and tips, and then we got to watch the spectacle.  I can’t imagine going to Acapulco and not seeing the cliff divers.  They are truly amazing to watch, especially when you have the view that we did of the water as it moved in and out. 

From the cliff divers, we went to a secluded cove, where they dropped the water trampoline and threw out float beds and pool noodles, and offered scuba equipment.  We got to keep our snorkels, which say ‘Acapulco’ on them.  I just used a mask and snorkel, no flippers.  There were a few jokes about the size of my feet… I really didn’t need them, though.  I found a nice place to float and just watched as schools of fish swam under me.  It was delightful.  Once back on board, we were served a delicious lunch.  We had barbecued chicken (that Freddy said was ‘buzzard’ for the kids and we all commented on what delicious buzzard it was), burgers, bacon wrapped hot dogs (my daughter unwrapped hers and pronounced that it had a ‘tan’!), and fish strips, as well as macaroni salad and tossed salad, and of course there were condiments and tomato and onion slices for the burgers and dogs.  It was a fantastic spread and really yummy.  The drinks never stopped flowing from the time we left the dock until the time we got back.

After lunch, we had a nice cruise of the bay, with Freddy continuing to tell us all about what we were seeing and the other two shipmates clearing plates and keeping drinks fresh.  It ended far too quickly for all of us, and was truly one of the best tours I have ever been on.  I should mention, also, that they don’t usually offer their ‘Fun n Sun’ cruise on Mondays, when we were in port.  Eduardo answered every correspondence from me (there were many) and assured me that if I found a group that wanted to go, they would offer the tour, and fortunately, we had enough on our roll call on Cruise Critic to make a tour and they put it together for us.  They were professional, on time, friendly, accommodating, and most of all, FUN!!  They really gave us an afternoon to remember, and I really can’t recommend them highly enough.  I hope that anyone reading this will consider contacting them for future tours.
