About this trip
The shuttle from Palenque Mexico to Flores Island in Flores Petén Guatemala is an international shared shuttle bus option designed for travelers moving between southern Mexico and the Guatemalan lowlands. This ground transport service connects the town of Palenque with the island of Flores, a common gateway to the Petén region, using a coordinated overland route that crosses the Mexico–Guatemala border at El Ceibo.
The journey takes place in an air-conditioned vehicle and follows a practical route through rural landscapes, small towns, and border areas before continuing into northern Guatemala. A vehicle change occurs at the border, after which the route continues toward Flores, ending at a central, well-known drop-off point on the island. Passengers are responsible for carrying their own travel documents and completing border procedures independently.
This shared shuttle bus is suited for budget-conscious visitors looking for a reliable transport connection rather than a tour experience. With daily operation and an organized structure, it offers a straightforward way to travel between Palenque and Flores while sharing the ride with other passengers heading along the same route.

Buena experiencia en general. Aspectos a mejorar: * Te indican que el horario de recogida es las 08:30, pero te piden que estés 15 minutos antes y te preavisan que pueden llegar hasta 30 minutos después. Llegamos a las 08:15 al lugar de recogida y tuvimos que esperar hasta las 09:00. Preguntamos en el puesto de información turística y nos dijeron que las recogidas siempre son a las 9 y avisaron por un grupo de WhatsApp de la zona, que ya estábamos esperando allí. No obstante, efectivamente llegaron a por nosotros a las 9. Conclusión: 45 minutos de espera innecesaria. * En Flores, antes de dejarnos en el punto de entrega nos pararon en una terminal para intentar vendernos sus excursiones. Me hubiera parecido más correcto que nos lo comentaran antes o al menos nos hubieran preguntado si ya teníamos contratadas esas excursiones, para no perder el tiempo.

Transportation itself was okay, but their communication platform ( WhatsApp or e mail) wasn’t consistent so I was almost waiting for pickup at wrong place!! Plus pickup came late so I was worried a lot.

We went from Palenque to Flores with this transport service and everything went very smooth and easy. We were only 4 of us in the bus, the border crossing from Mexico went without problems (just remember to not bring any fresh fruit or vegetables, you'll need to leave them at the border). The driver was really patient and friendly. We changed the vehicle at the border and another time in Flores, to get dropped off at our respective hostels.

It was great! Almost private transport, we were 3 in a taxi. The driver was very nice and good driving. I had a stop to eat. At the border very quickly. The 2nd driver the same, we were 2 in a van :) It was door to door transport. The communication with the center was very good. Informations by email and whatsapp. Price very attractive. Thank you!
