Fly-in package price and inclusions
| Operator | Price | Inclusions | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clark Tours, regular package | $420.00 per person; read 25 October 2026; currency and tariff-validity date unspecified | Round-trip domestic flights; ground transfers; transportation between Flores and Tikal; entrance fees to visited sites; picnic lunch | Clark Tours itinerary |
Clark’s published itinerary starts with hotel pickup and an airport transfer, followed by the flight to Flores and transport to Tikal. After the visit, the itinerary returns to Flores for the flight back to Guatemala City, then a transfer to your hotel.
Guide tips being excluded does not establish that guide service is included. Ask Clark to state whether the quoted booking includes a guide and what language the service uses. Its English page also excludes lunch other than the picnic lunch, so the meal inclusion is specific rather than an unrestricted lunch allowance.
Pickup, flights and time inside the park
Clark lists 04:00 alongside pickup from Hotel Westin Camino Real, Hilton Guatemala City, Barceló Guatemala City and nearby hotels. Confirm whether your accommodation is covered and the pickup time attached to your booking.
Neither airline’s site gave us a current Guatemala City-Flores timetable on 25 October 2026, so this page does not pair a morning outbound with an evening return; the flight schedule we have on file is on our Guatemala City to Flores and Tikal page. Clark gives the duration as full day without timed park arrival and departure, so the hours available inside Tikal cannot be calculated from its listing.
For a separately arranged journey, the Guatemala City to Flores and Tikal transport guide covers the wider route, while Flores airport to Tikal covers the onward transfer. Before buying separate tickets, match the actual flights to the ground transfers and airline check-in requirements for your travel date.
Park admission and the sunrise distinction
The official Tikal page, checked 25 October 2026, publishes regular admission of Q.150.00 for foreign tourists and Q. 25.00 for national tourists, with public hours of 06:00 to 18:00 Monday to Sunday. Clark lists entrance fees to visited sites as included: the standalone park tariff is not presented here as an extra charge on its package.
The official page separately lists the sunrise window as 04:00 to 06:00 and sunset as 18:00 to 20:00. Clark’s hotel pickup at 04:00 does not establish arrival during the sunrise window. For that different visit format, see the Tikal sunrise tour guide.
