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

I recently traveled with my wife to Coco Sunset, Playa del Coco, Costa Rica. As newlyweds, I can't think of a better vacation and honeymoon on earth, the condo-hotel was amazing, beautifully kept gardens, and amazing nature surrounding all the area, howler monkeys, and birds, it was an incredible experience, the green and the sea are to die for, definitely... more

After reading the glowing reviews regarding Avispa, we were excited about dealing with them for all our hotel and tour needs when visiting Costa Rica. I sent approximately 1 dozen e-mails to them from three different e-mail accounts, with no reply over a four week period. I called twice to Costa Rica and was able to speak to Amy. She... more

Myself and 3 of my friends just returned from playa hermosa in costa rica.. we used Avispas Adventures as our tour guides! It was an absolutely wonderful experience. The personal attention we received was so great! Amy calls frequently to make sure that everything is going great. Mario was our tour guide for the week and was so much fun!... more
