Compare Tikal Tours from Flores
Our Tikal tours from Flores go from the shared day tour, from $29, to the sunrise tour on Temple IV with both park tickets included, $87. All four include round-trip transport from Flores Island or El Remate and a certified bilingual guide; they differ in the hour you leave, the moment you live and whether the entrance is in the price.
Pick the sunrise tour to be inside Tikal before it opens, the sunset tour to start at noon and stay after the crowds, the day tour for the best price on your own schedule, or Yaxhá for a quieter Maya city with a sunset over its lagoon.

Choosing Your Tikal Tour
Which Tikal tour is best for first-time visitors?
For a first visit, the Tikal sunrise tour gives the most memorable morning, inside the park before it opens, while the Tikal Day Tour from Flores shows the same main temples in daylight for less. If you hate early alarms, the sunset tour starts at noon and still includes Temple I and the Great Plaza.
Sunrise or sunset at Tikal: which has better views?
Sunset at Tikal is clear more often, because the morning fog has burned off; sunrise is more atmospheric, with the jungle waking up and temple tops rising from the mist. Choose sunrise for the experience and sunset for better odds of seeing the sun itself.
Can I combine Tikal and Yaxhá?
Yes, and it is a favorite pairing: book a Tikal tour one morning and the Yaxhá sunset tour another afternoon, both from Flores. Doing both in a single day is possible but makes a very long day of about 17 hours, so most travelers split them over two days.
Which Tikal tour includes the entrance tickets?
The Tikal sunrise and sunset tours include the Q150 entrance and the Q100 special ticket, which we buy and send you the day before. The day tour and the Yaxhá tour do not include the entrance: Q150 for Tikal and Q80 for Yaxhá, paid separately.
