Airport to Tikal Transfer: Private Vehicle, One Way

Get to Tikal without navigating the route yourself

A private one-way transfer from the airport to Tikal in an air-conditioned vehicle with an experienced driver and passenger insurance. The operator's vehicles are registered with Guatemala's transport authority and meet safety standards. Pickup is included. The journey takes one to two hours depending on traffic and your route.

The experience

The vehicle arrives at your hotel or accommodation before departure, so you don't arrange a separate pickup. Your driver holds a professional license and has more than 15 years of experience on this route. The car is air-conditioned and built for comfort on the drive through Petén.

Before leaving town, the driver will ask if you need to stop at an ATM (there are no machines in the Tikal National Park area), or if you want to grab breakfast or lunch at a restaurant along the way. A convenience store stop is also available if you need supplies. The journey itself runs one to two hours, depending on traffic and road conditions.

The vehicle is wheelchair accessible, and infants can travel in a specialized seat or sit on an adult's lap. All passengers are covered by insurance during the transfer.
