“The folks at Quaser (Tasha Williams and Natalie Baralesque) were outstanding in putting together the perfect Patagonia trip for us. They provided many daily options that we chose from. They were very easy to work with and answered our numerous (and sometimes constant) questions about details of the trip. Their responses either came the same day or the next day. They were a delight to work with. They also set us up with one of the best tour guides, Victor Mathus and a car. Victor provided daily, on site, further options for our hikes, excursions. He was most charismatic, friendly and knowledable. He provided us with hiking poles, snacks, first aid, hot tea, water - and basically anything we needed in the remote areas of Patagonia. Then there were two other excellent guides that joined in areas, Juan (last name?) and Lucia Guia. Overall Quasar is a ten out of ten. Highly recommended. They would be my first choice go to, for another trip.”

“We had an amazing week over the Christmas holidays. Everything was seamless- from being met at the gate on arrival until getting dropped back off at the Quito airport. The guides on our trip were all outstanding and each of them contributed something a little different, but all equally good. The photo opportunites were endless and we enjoyed the variety of activities- snorkeling with the seals was our all-around favorite! An added bonus was the other families on board where all lovely and our teens really enjoyed socializing with the other teens on board.”

“We loved our Patagonia trip with Quasar Expeditions. We did the 11-Day Guided Safari. Our guide, Tanya, was incredible! She was very professional, personable, knowledgeable about Patagonia, the wildlife and all the flora and fauna. Tanya was also able to be flexible with our itinerary at the last minute because of weather and quickly change it. I would 100 percent recommend this trip to anyone.”

“Our trip to the Galápagos Islands and the Highlands of Ecuador made me speechless. Quasar took care of all our arrangement (cruise and land) and I can't praise them with a high enough score. From the moment we walked off the plane in Quito to the moment we walked back into the Quito airport, everything was taken care of. The cruise itself was amazing and the crew was outstanding. There were only 30 guests on the Evolution and 3 guides. They were a wealth of information about anything Galapagos and made sure our safety was a priority. Kudos to Bolo, Christina and Rogelio, our amazing and patient guides. All expeditions were on time and well planned out. Meeting in the lounge every evening around 7:00, summarizing what we saw that day and informing us of what was to come the following day. We saw a huge assortment of animals, on land and in the water. We took a 2 day/1 night side trip to the Highlands after the cruise and loved everything we saw. Quasar arranged it all and provided us with our own guide and driver, which allowed us to customize the itinerary. Maria and Frank were the best. The additional days in the Highlands is well worth it. Stunning country and fun to see the markets, indigenous people and the culture of the area. Lots of memories and still processing our trip.”

“I have been on many vacation adventures during my life time, but I have never experienced one as well organized and executed as my recent Quito, Ecuador and Galapogos Island trip with Quasar. From the moment I arrived in Quito and was met at the top of the jetway by a Quasar representative, to when I said goodbye to my fellow adventures and the crew of the M/V Evolution the experience was seemless and flawless. The Evolution crew and guides went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable & memorable. The food service rivaled the large cruise lines or a fine dining restaurant. Everything was perfect!”

“We had a wonderful time on this trip. The yacht, Grace, had all the old world charm I’d hoped for, with a the modern amenities to make it comfortable. The naturalists were as good as could be, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We were the oldest couple on the cruise (72 and 74) , but were able to keep up on the hikes and participated in most of the snorkeling. An all around wonderful experience.”

It’s wonderful to know you appreciated the yacht’s timeless charm alongside its modern comforts.

“This was an overwhelmingly unique and positive experience! The entire setup suited us, with various guided activities several times a day. The guides were highly knowledgeable and felt very engaged. We received good information beforehand and knew what to expect on each island we visited. All the crew on the boat were very attentive to our well-being and were flexible and helpful. The most unique aspect of the trip was how close we got to all the different animals and the knowledge shared by the guides. This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I highly recommend it at every opportunity. Thank you!!”

“Truly the trip of a lifetime! My husband and I didn't go away without the kids for 24 years, and this was the trip we finally took on our own. It exceeeded our expectations, and we were totally spoiled! The ship, and the crew were both wonderful. The naturalist guides were amazing as well. We love the adventures of snorkeling with Sea Lions, Sea Turtles, Sharks, Rays and countless fish! The land walks were like being put into a modern Jurrasic Park adventure! The birds, iguanas, lizards were all aplenty and had not a care at all that humans were there. Of course the land toroises were a treat as well. The food, company and service were all top notch. We would highly recommend! Erika and Rich Sirabian”

“Land portions were very good. The Evolution needs work, tired, worn, dated. Dietary needs were, at times, honored. One guide left his group by themselves in the water snorkeling because he was "cold". This was a safety concern to me. This happened three times. Food was above average. Captain was very good. Cruise director was very good.”

Dear Carol, Thank you so much for your feedback and for sharing your experience. We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the land portions of your journey, and that our food and crew left a positive impression. We’re truly sorry to hear about the challenges you faced on board the Evolution. Our yacht typically earns high praise, so we’ll be looking into your comments with our maintenance team right away. Regarding your concern about the guide during snorkeling, I’d like to clarify that the safety of our guests is always our #1 priority. When our guides are not in the water with guests, they always stay close to the group, keeping a watchful eye from an elevated position in the dinghies, which helps them monitor everyone more effectively. The dinghy driver is also alert and focused on the group’s safety at all times. We will ensure that our team is reminded of these safety practices to give you greater peace of mind on future excursions. Your insights are invaluable to us, and we genuinely appreciate your honesty. With best regards, Diane Schicke Customer Success Hero
