We were in Costa Rica over Thanksgiving and couldn’t have been more thankful to have spent nearly the entire time with the team at Avispa’s Adventures. From the moment Amy (owner and operator with Jose) responded to my e-mail with “we’ll take you wherever you want to go whenever you want to go”, I knew that her team was extraordinary.... more

My husband and I just returned from a trip to Costa Rica celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary. We learned about Avispas tours online and arranged in advance for the Palo Verde River trip and also the day long Miravalles Adventure. We have traveled internationally and usually avoid tours, but we were absolutely delighted by our experience with Avispas. Amy was... more

We spent 2 wonderful weeks in Costa Rica and got to explore the area with Amy and her "family". All the employees of Avispa's are a very close knit bunch, eager to please, outgoing and very friendly. After we arrived, Amy contacted us at our hotel to inform us that an "arribada" had started. This is when the turtles come... more

I contacted Amy after reading reviews about them and I can't say enough about how great they are. From getting ready to prepare for your trip up to when you get there, Amy and Avispas were incredible. Their tours are excellent especially since they keep the groups small and flexible. We loved that there was no set timetable that we... more

We took a 6 day trip to Costa Rica over the Thanksgiving Holiday. Over the course of our stay we used Avispas for transportation to and from the airport and to Tamarindo for a day of deep sea fishing. We also did the one day Miravelles Adventure with Avispas. I truly do not even know where to begin because our... more

The incredible customer service of Avispas Adventures began before we arrived in Costa Rica. Amy was diligent in returning emails and phonecalls (not always an easy task from Costa Rica). My family (me, my husband and three kids, 12, 14, 15) loved our adventure tours which included ziplining, horseback riding, hiking and a trip to mud baths (don't miss the... more

My husband and I vacationed in the Guancaste province of Costa Rica from 10/17/2009 - 10/24/2009. This was our first, but definitely not our last, trip there. I had researched tour companies prior to our arrival and based on the reviews, booked all our tours as well as transportation to and from the airport with Avispas Adventures. Everything was even... more

If you are going to Guanacaste Costa Rica you need to book all your excursions and transportation through Avispas. My wife and I recently spent our honeymoon at the Occidental Grand Papagayo resort October 12-19th. On our flight down to Costa Rica Delta forced us to check in our carry on luggage due to "lack of room on plane". Of... more

I brought 20 friends to Costa Rica to celebrate a special birthday. The group wanted to experience a little bit of Authentic Costa Rica, while staying away from the crowds of American tourists attempting to do the same. We were lucky to have found Amy from Avispas Adventures to help us out. What can I say? She and her staff... more
