Absolutely. Beyond our standard 7-, 9-, and 14-day tours, we offer Tailored Adventures — custom routes and durations designed around your preferences.
Depends on Number of Riders, but assume December-April sells out 6 months to 1 year in advance (All the snow state and Canadian riders!) and other months about 3-5 months in advance.
The answer is ‘not really’. You must book a tour with TWT in order to ride our KTM & Husqvarna. We do not allow “walk-up” tourists to rent our bikes.
We do our best to keep costs as low as possible for our guests. Other tours may have lower rates but they mostly use either cheap Chinese bikes or heavy Dual Purpose.

How much would you charge a stranger to take your race bike for a full day riding? When you add our guides, service, location, and reputation, TWT delivers the riding vacation of your dreams. We extend discounts for return trips and have offer discounts for customers who promote their trips and The Whispering Trails on personal YouTube pages, Facebook, twitter and other social media!
For hardcore off-road riders Guatemala can be ridden year round. While less prevalent on the coast than the middle of the country, the rainy season does last from August – October. Rain during this season typically starts in late afternoon, lets off and and then starts again in early evening. If you’re doing a Guys Trip, the occasional showers is almost a blessing on the trails. If you’re doing Family Trip its best to visit us November-July.
We explore Guatemala, ride every imaginable terrain, visit insane locations, provide first-class, catered, accommodations, and offer a myriad of additional adventure sports. You hop on your KTM or Husqvarna and ride, the jungle, the mountains the volcanos, the coast and have the best vacation ever.

We run tours year-round, with the exception of September & October. We essentially have two climates that accompany our expeditions. On the highlands, daytime temperatures are hot, averaging 77/82 degrees, but at night, especially between December and February, temperatures can become chilly, even below 50 degrees.. We typically run 2 expeditions per months. Expeditions between December-March be reserved between 6 months and 1-year in advance.
We have a solid fleet of Enduro bikes: Ktm EXC-F and Husqvarna FE. All bikes are equipped with a light Rally Tower with a robust phone holder, a USB socket and a 52L Tusk Saddlebag. We will provide all expedition participants with a handled two-way radio to stay in contact with our guides.
