I have to say, Avispa's is a must do no matter what your travel plans include. Amy is so friendly and willing to help in any way. We took the Miravelles Adventure on our first full day in Costa Rica and it was beyond expectations. The day was filled with so many fun activities blended with some authentic CR flair.... more

Avispa’s Adventures- There is no other way to say it but this is one 5-star first class operation! Amy puts in effort from the very minute you contact her! My boyfriend and I were planning a trip to Costa Rica and were trying to save money but still have a fabulous adventure. When surfing TripAdvisor I came across Amy and... more

Costa Rica is a beautiful country with delightful people. We had a wonderful vacation there because of several additional factors. First, we contacted Avispa's Adventures. Second, we did not rent a car, instead having Avispa and Gustavo drive us. We were taken to authentic, local restaurants and shown many sights we would have otherwise overlooked. Signage in the countryside is... more

We used Avispas for our two tours while visiting Costa Rica during August 2008. The tours we went on were the Miravalles Volcano Tour and the Palo Verde Riverboat tour. Miravalles: We started with a zip line canopy tour. Loved it and I am afraid of heights. We then went for a fantastic typical Costa Rican lunch. Then it was... more

I have never seen such fantastic service in a travel company before! I must say that this company is truly unmatched. Although we did contact Amy Lentz (co-owner) prior to leaving for Costa Rica to arrange our first tours, she was kind enough to loan us a cell phone so that we could contact them as our whims and fancies... more

We spent our honeymoon in Costa Rica in late October 2007. After reading numerous reviews on TripAdvisor about our hotel (Occidental Grand Papagayo), we were also interested in making arrangements for day trips during our stay. Many of the reviews for our resort mentioned Avispas and the wonderful service they provided. So we emailed Amy from Avispas and arranged to... more

We just got back from the Guanacaste area (our 3rd trip to CR). There were 10 of us, 6 adults and 4 children (12, 11, 3, and 1) - needless to say we were a handful -- but as luck would have it, we booked the mega combo Miravalles tour with Avispa's Adventures! Amy, the owner, is absolutely amazing! Customer... more

** Stunned ** My family (2 adults, 2 kids aged 5 & 10) was stunned by Avispa's personal service and accomodating style. We took three separate tours with Amy and/or her staff during our week in Guanacaste, Costa Rica and we had an exceptional time. For each of the tours, the staff (Luis, Carlos, Jose, and Amy) were willing to... more

We were in Costa Rica December 2007 and then again in March 2008. We were lucky enough to stumble across Avispas adventures. A tour service that offers specialized and comfortable tours. We were truly treated like royalty as we explored the guanacaste province of Costa Rica. We were able to alter our excursions with very short notice and customize them... more
