This company was recommended by a couple we met while staying in Costa Rica. They had gone on the Palo Verde River cruise and came back with rave reviews. They signed up to go horseback riding and zip lining the next day and asked if we wanted to go. We agreed to go and it was the best decision ever!... More

This was my 5th time visiting Costa Rica (as well as my husband's) and this time we brought family with us. The entire week we were in CR, Avispas gave us the 5 star treatment and I can say every time we come back, it gets better and better. We did a few new excursions and a few that we... More

The night before we flew into Costa Rica, I made one last effort to convince my husband we ought to try a couple of tours for our anniversary. We have never used a tour company before, as we like to explore attractions locals love, away from the crowds. I saw Avispa's Adventures recommended by a family who stayed at the... More

We just returned from our first trip to Costa Rica-Playa del Coco. The property manager for the condo we rented arranged transport from the airport to the condo. Amy was there waiting for us and provided a delightful intro to the country and quick trip to our condo. She did tell us about some of the tours and we booked... More

We recently were in Costa Rica for 8 days. After researching tour companies we came across Avispa's and Amy. My husband and I usually wonder around by ourselves but we wanted to do the Palo Verde and another tour involving zip lining. After me emailing Amy with what to select she recommended the Eco Adventure, what a great day. Amy... More

We live in Costa Rica, and had a group of 17 people visiting. I had never met Amy and knew little of Advispas Adventures. Everything was taken care of - from multiple options to meet everyone needs and desires, scheduling, different pick up locations and collection of payments. No matter what some thought their limitations would be, as to why... More

We ended up taking four tours with Avispas, the "Made in Costa Rica" experiences we encountered on three of the tours were the highlites of our trip. Men and... More
