Tips & Gratuities
Tips and gratuities are not included in your journey. Planning for them in advance removes the awkward arithmetic at the end of a great day.

Structural guidance only. Tipping is discretionary, and never expected as a condition of service.
- Your driver, across the route
- Guides on guided days
- Boat and activity crews
- Hotel and restaurant staff
- Community hosts on local experiences
Customary amounts
Local norms vary by service and setting, and we would rather give you a reviewed figure than a guess.
Culturally reviewed tipping ranges will be connected before launch, prepared with our local partners.
Practical notes
Small-denomination cash is easier for tipping than cards, and quetzales are generally more useful locally than dollars. Ask your guide if you are unsure in any particular setting.
