I stepped gingerly between iguana tails to reach the path, stopped in my tracks, giving way to a giant tortoise. I watched the glow of sunset on red sand, the ocean swirling around a youthful sea lion staring up at our ten year old traveler. Families brought three generations. Couples and friends were aboard and I, the solo traveler. Expect to stay physically active, expertly guided and supported. Be comfortable and relaxed in bare feet, sandals or hiking shoes. Expect what may be the best trip of your life for reasons you won't know until after, when you are home.

Our family had the best vacation of our lives with Quasar!!! The staff and other guests were amazing!!! It was the perfect balance of activity, learning, relaxation and social time. The naturalists, captain and first mate and staff made the vacation amazing!!! I can't recommend Quasar highly enough!!!!

Our experience on the Grace was unbelievably spectacular. 5 Stars doesn't do it justice. 10 Stars for sure. The boat was charming, comfortable, extremely clean and a home away from home. The staff were OVER THE TOP. They were all helpful, respectful, and very hard working. It was a pleasure to see a group work so well together. We felt like we were a part of a family. There were many smiles - from the staff and from our group. We've traveled a lot and have never had such an awesome experience. For us, it was the best ever.

We had the most memorable time on the Evolution! The staff was incredible. We loved our Naturalists - Bolo, Christina and Sophia - so much, too! Swimming with the sea lions was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Thank you!

It is no exaggeration to say that a trip to the Galapagos is an experience of a lifetime and I would not have trusted my time in this part of the world to anyone but Quasar. From start to finish, the trip, accommodations, and staff were phenomenal. Quasar removes any of the stress normally encountered when traveling so that their guests can fully immerse in what is a truly remarkable landscape. I am grateful to everyone involved for ensuring that our experience was superb.

This was our first experience with Quasar and if anything, it far exceeded our expectations. Just completing our trip was a serious challenge after a 2-year pandemic. Paul and the Quasar crew were fantastic.

Quasar Expeditions exceeded my expectations in every way. Every part of the trip was perfectly organized, the schedules were posted and followed, the accommodations before and after the cruise were great, and when external circumstances forced us to change our itinerary, Quasar made sure that everything was changed seamlessly.

Galapagos is the trip of a lifetime and Quasar made it happen with excellence in every detail, from the pre-sales (Thanks Diane and Paul for the information and the patience!) to all aspects of the trip, before boarding and onboard. The crew was friendly, capable and always ready to help on anything, the guides were very knowledgeable, passionate and happy to share their passion with us and help us make this dream a reality. I've already recommended Quasar to several friends!

Traveling to the Galapagos with Quasar was a dream come true. From the moment we arrived at the airport in Ecuador, the Quasar team made everything easy and relaxing. Once we arrived at the boat, we had an amazing lunch and began our journey. The boat is super luxurious - even on the bottom deck we had so much space and the staff helped keep everything pristine. The naturalists did a tremendous job showing us around the islands - they were extremely knowledgeable and personable and it was a joy to experience the islands through their eyes. The wildlife in the Galapagos was so abundant, everything we saw was beyond our expectations and we truly made memories that will last a lifetime. If you are thinking about a trip to the Galapagos - Quasar is the way to go.

Service was impeccable, the hotel did forget to give us the backpacks that were given to other guests so I would advise to remind the hotel upon any check ins. Ariana’s service was outstanding. Communication between naturalists and the yacht staff on how to prepare for the days itinerary needs improvement as we were hearing 2 different things. The hike to the crater should be optional especially in muddy conditions. Our group was not advised on this properly and no one came back kept to the yacht. Also if there are conditions in area such as poison oak that we may be walking near there should be an advisory on the day before and/or the written itinerary to protect guests and so guests can better prepare.

Hi Keani, Thank you for taking the time to post your detailed feedback. We are delighted to hear that you found our service to be impeccable! We appreciate your suggestion on improving the coordination between our Naturalist Guides and Crew aboard our yachts as we want all of our excursions to be seamless for our Guests. The details of upcoming activities are always communicated to everyone each night in the form of a briefing given by our Guides, as you experienced yourself. You are always free to talk to or ask your Guide and/or Cruise Director any questions you may have if there seems to be confusion. In fact, we encourage it! We do want you to know that we have passed on your suggestion of better coordination to our teams. In regards to the backpack issue, unfortunately, there was a mix-up at your hotel as they were supposed to deliver these to your room. While our Quasar team does everything we can to make sure that the hotels where our Guests are staying carry the backpacks, mix-ups do happen from time-to-time. Thanks to your feedback, we have stocked our yachts with a number of backpacks so they can be delivered to our Guests in Galapagos if the hotels in the mainland fail to deliver these to you. We will also be sending you a couple of backpacks in the mail, so keep an eye out for those! In regards to the issue with poisonous plants in Galapagos, there is no poison oak on the Islands and we are unsure of which plant you are referring to that may have caused an allergic reaction. Our onboard doctor has all the necessary ointments and treatments for allergic reactions like the ones you mention. Please note, the only poisonous plant on the Islands is the Manzanillo, a large fruit tree that is not very common throughout the archipelago and is very easily identifiable. Touching the sap causes dermatitis, but our Guides always warn you of this, and you do not find Manzanillo trees on the trail at Sierra Negra volcano. This tree grows on lava fields and the Giant Tortoises love Manzanillo fruits! We do understand your concerns about the Sierra Negra volcano hike. All excursions offered on our cruises are optional. Guests can choose to opt-out of any excursion they would like and instead stay on board the yacht if they prefer, ie. when the weather is not good. On a regular day (sunny or overcast, without rain), this trail is very popular among our Guests as it takes you to the second largest caldera crater in the world, providing spectacular views. Something to note, all the excursions and trails are defined by the Galapagos National Park authorities and they are set as part of our itineraries. We can choose to participate or not participate on these excursions, but unfortunately, the Park does not allow us to replace these excursions at-will when weather conditions are not favorable. We have brought up your concerns about this excursion during poor weather conditions to our Excursions team! They will analyze the options we have together with the Galapagos National Park authorities. Again, we truly appreciate your candid feedback! This is how we can make future adventures for our Guests even better. If there is anything we have not addressed, or that you (or someone reading this response) may want to discuss further, we encourage you to contact us at customerservice@quasarex.com or to call us at any of the numbers on our website. Thank you for traveling with Quasar and we hope to see you back on one of our adventures one day soon! Happy travels, ~ The Quasar Customer Service Team

This was the trip of a lifetime! Blue whale, blue footed boobies, albatross mating dance, marine iguanas. We swam with penguins—they played with us in the water, as did the sea lions. The naturalist guides were fabulous—extremely knowledgeable and interesting, the boat Evolution was beautiful and comfortable, the food was excellent. Everything was beautifully planned and taken care of for us. We had so much fun with Bolo, Christina, and Hernan the guides. Cesar and Aldo were a blast. Eliana oversaw everything with grace. The cabin was spacious and immediately tidied whenever we left the room. Quasar was attentive to some issues that came up due to protests in Ecuador and helped us change flights and hotels when necessary. I will always turn to Quasar first for adventure travel. Thanks to all!

Superb in all respects. Only black mark: the supplemental fee for gas. After paying almost $20,000, the extra $150 fee was insulting and inappropriate.
