Don't make the same assumption I made. This is not a cruise. It's an EXPEDITION!! It's an Expedition that brings you close to nature as God intended. The Quasar guides (Bolo, Christina, and Hernan) ensure your experience with wildlife is a memorable one. Whether you're on land or in the water, each Expedition is unique. The Quasar guides' knowledge of the animals and islands adds to your experience. I looked forward to the nightly briefings informing us of the next day's adventure. The briefings made the next day more exciting. We weren't just looking at wildlife, we were searching for specific breeds of birds, sharks, iguanas, etc. Quasar makes your Expedition to the Galapagos a bucket list item completed! This will be a trip we will talk about for years to come!
