      We do not know exactly how many seats are left however, we only know the capacity of each date which would be 25 passengers. These passenger's are a mix of male and female ranging between the ages of 50 to 70. If you are travelling solo, you will have your own private room to yourself in this case.

    Asked on May 6th, 2025

    Is this possible to join a trip to Manuel Antonio from the Polenta Leone Hotel tomorrow?

    Tour Details
    • WingbuddyOperator•Written May 2025

      This would not be possible as the earliest tour start we have would be on May 14th in San Jose. We do apologize, but we would need some time to coordinate your travel and 24 hours would not be enough time.

    • WingbuddyOperator•Written December 2024

      The dates posted on the Wingbuddy website are with the flights included therefore, this is why you may be seeing a discrepancy. If you are interested in booking the April 13th tour, you must make sure to book your flights to arrive in San Jose on April 13th and return on April 23rd.

    Is there a way maybe I could try to find another flight to land on the 15th and the tour starts on the 16th?

    Flights / Transfers
    Travel Support
    • WingbuddyOperator•Written November 2024

      Would you be able to book the same flight the day before? We could add one night in San Jose to your package which would give you one full day to rest and maybe start exploring.

      Nick

      Traveler•Written November 2024

      I would like to do it before but unfortunately I can't get the leave for work

    • WingbuddyOperator•Written November 2024

      We could suggest our Costa Rica Escape (7 nights), which could work with your dates. It involves fewer changes, making it a better fit for your mother.
