    Brett

    Asked on August 24th, 2026

    I fly out on the evening of the 4th and there's no tour on the 5th. Will you be able to accommodate me

    Flights / Transfers
    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written August 2026

      This may be fine just depending on when your flight is on the 4th of December. Keep in mind that you are travelling from Unawatuna to Colombo that day which is approximately 4 hours. If you have a later afternoon or evening flight, that would be okay - you'd just forego the last night of accommodation on the tour and there are no refunds for unused services.

    • B

      Brett

      Traveler•Written August 2026

      Good morning. Just for clarity. I will not be using the accommodation, breakfast and your services from the night of the 4th. So is the price the same

    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written August 2026

      Yes, there wont be any cost reductions or refunds if you choose to leave the trip early.
