We were picked up in a very nice and clean van right on time and it took about an hour and 15 min to arrive at Tikal. Elmer was so knowledgeable, we couldn’t get enough! I cannot believe these Maya ruins are not more popular. This ancient civilization was fascinating and having a knowledgeable expert made it all the more interesting!

“Unforgettable ATV Volcano Adventure! This was hands down one of the best excursions I’ve ever done! We rode ATVs through incredible landscapes, including stunning views of volcanoes and a beautiful lake. The scenery alone was worth it, but what really made the experience special was the amazing staff. They were so friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was having a great time. One of the coolest parts? They grilled us sandwiches using the heat from the volcanic rocks — seriously one of the most unique and fun experiences I’ve had. If you’re looking for adventure, nature, and great vibes, this tour is a must!”
