This trip was SUCH an adventure. We...
<p>This trip was SUCH an adventure. We were coming from Antigua and our pick up was at 3:45am. We arrived to the airport at 4:30 and had a 6:30am flight to Flores. From Flores, we went into a shuttle and went DIRECTLY to Tikal and embarked on a 5 hour hike. We were so tired, but when you get to the site...you will be floored at the beauty. The entire trip was executed flawlessly. I recommend this to anyone who wants some serious hiking, likes a good workout, see history being made as parts of both Tikal and Yaxha are still under investigation, and loves adventure.</p> <p>There are A LOT of mosquitos and bugs here. Pack bug spray, dryer sheets, cortisone...whatever you need to fight the army of bug bites you may get here...just a very humid location because you're in a rainforest. I would do it all over again!</p>

The tour was expensive, I was not...
<p>The tour was expensive, I was not sure why it cost so much, but it was the only way to book to see the sites in the time available, so I booked it anyway. I found on the way once it was started, when I got to the airport at Tikal end that I was booked into a very pricey upmarket and remote hotel on the north shore of the lake for the overnight stay. There were no options given, this was booked upfront. This must have added considerably to the price I do not have a breakdown, nor how much Viator and the agent Guatemalan Adventures took as their fees it would have been so much nicer and cheaper to have the option to stay in a normal hotel in Flores or El Remate. Everything else about the tour was fine. The hotel option was a big disappointment.</p>

This tour blew away my...
<p>This tour blew away my expectations!<br/> We agreed our guide, Manuel, was the best guide we've ever had. He's been giving tours of Tikkal and Yaxha for 25 years and it shows! He's patient and knowledgeable, and he takes visitors through the sites in a unique way: unlike other guides who go straight for the big plazas first, he saves them for last. He even took us hiking off the paths so we could see the hidden back sides and ruins no one else visits! <br/> The food was absolutely delicious! Both lunches were authentic Guatemalan 3-course spreads we even tried Maya nut chicken and soup! and the breakfast was filling and delicious.<br/> And the hotel was the best hotel in the area -- a 5 store resort. After an early morning wake-up call to catch our flight and after hiking the ruins all day, it was just what we needed to relax and restore ourselves. <br/> I highly recommend this trip!!</p>

This tour from Guatemalan adventure...
<p>This tour from Guatemalan adventure is excellent except for the expensive hotel that they put us is in Camino Real Tikkal. Dinner and drinks are expensive so be prepared if in case you are on a budget. But the hotel has nice view of the lake and it is very pretty with all the ammenties. You might have to pay for wifi. We were taken on time to the airport small one beside the La aurora airport - sharing the same run way in the morning. Airport is little small and it is chaotic so be prepared and flights usually don't run on time. Make sure to have your passport. Tikkal and Yaxha are a long drive from the airport and also from each other. Our guide in Tikkal was Lopez was he was good and explained a lot about the ruins and the forests. It was a wonderful experience seeing the Mayan ruins and walking through the rainforests and getting to see all different animals and birds. Lunch is Tikkal that was provided is ok and not authentic. Yaxha was totally different compared to Tikkal it is small but very calm and peaceful away from all the crowds. We stopped at an authentic resturant for lunch and it was pretty good. We had finished our tour early so our guide took us to flores to spend some time near the lake and it was very beautiful.</p>

Smooth travel arrangements, 2...
<p>Smooth travel arrangements, 2 delicious lunches, and 2 excellent guides. My only concern was that I would have liked to stay in Flores rather than in a hotel on the lake, a long distance away -- nonetheless, that hotel was lovely and relaxing after a strenuous day walking through Tikal.</p>

Tikal and Yaxha Overnight Trip by Air from Antigua: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Antigua.
How much does Tikal and Yaxha Overnight Trip by Air from Antigua cost?
+
Prices start at $700 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Antigua usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Tikal and Yaxha Overnight Trip by Air from Antigua take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Antigua is not rushed.
Is Tikal and Yaxha Overnight Trip by Air from Antigua worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Antigua, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tikal and Yaxha Overnight Trip by Air from Antigua?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Tikal and Yaxha Overnight Trip by Air from Antigua suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tikal and Yaxha Overnight Trip by Air from Antigua?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Antigua can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Antigua and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tikal and Yaxha Overnight Trip by Air from Antigua start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Antigua within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Antigua?
+
On Outty we rank every Antigua experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Coffee and Gastronomic Bike Tour in Antigua, Antigua ATV Mountain Adventure, Antigua ATV Sunset Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Antigua?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Antigua?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Tikal and Yaxha Overnight Trip by Air from Antigua?
+
