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.
