“Když jsem kupoval tuhle aktivitu , tak jsem se drobet bál, protože tu není moc recenzí. Ale vše proběhlo v pořádku. Jestli letíte do Flores kvůli Tikalu, tak rozhodne do programu doporučuji zařadit i tuhle aktivitu. Yaxha se mi neskutečně líbila, hlavně díky tomu, že nebyla přeplněna turisty , byla tak prázdná. Mohli jste si více užít zvuk zvířat , přítomný okamžik … doopravdy doporučuji.”

Review of Tikal’s sunrise tour from Flores, covering guides, transport, entrance fees, fog, timing, safety, and value for money.

“Flores has an issue with taxis and transports during the night and if you don't stay close to the island or on the island, getting to the meeting point can be a great hustle! The company didn't offer any pickup options or didn't suggest any other service to get to the meeting point. Our guide left a person behind and they found us mid tour hopefully. There is a real and relatively high chance (depending on the season, that you will not be able to see a sunrise due to the high humidity in the forest and the dense morning mist. Other than that, the experience is amazing because of…”
