I really enjoyed my trip on the evolution with qasar. The agents were super attentive and helpful when booking and the cruise was amazing. All of the naturalist guides were great and the staff so nice and constantly went above and beyond. I mentioned I don’t love fish and they always had a non seafood option for me ready at meals which I really appreciated. Definitely would recommend

Our Galapagos cruise with Quasar was above and beyond what I imagined. The staff was wonderful, knowledgeable, patient and very welcoming. The daily itinerary was perfect for everyone-families, couples and even solo travelers. The snorkeling, hikes, and kayaking made you feel so alive among the wildlife! It was such a memorable and lovely experience. I am recommending this trip and company to everyone!

Our cruise with Quasar was literally perfect - truly a once in a lifetime experience. Everything about our trip was easy, exciting, and so well considered. The entire staff is so good at what they do - from the agents that help with booking all the way through to the crew that is onboard. The itinerary was spectacular - every day ended with us thinking it couldn’t get any better but it did! Life on the boat was also a dream - plenty of common places to enjoy downtime or socialize with others. Our cabin (C7) also exceeded expectations - it was remarkable how equivalent it felt to a hotel room despite the fact that we were on a boat! All in all if you have the chance to visit the Galapagos - go!!! And if you do, book with Quasar - you will be glad that you did.

This trip was spectacular. Everyone provided A+ service and went above and beyond, from the cruise director to the chef, to the naturalist guides. The food was fantastic including the vegetarian options made for our family. We were on board during July 4th and the crew celebrated with us with a special meal and decorations. The Galapagos were amazing. This will go down as one of our families favorite vacations ever.

Quasar exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend them to those traveling to Quito and the Galapagos Islands! Diane booked us and helped to ensure that our daughter with Celiac would be able to eat safely throughout the trip. Gloria was our guide in Quito and was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. She answered all of our questions and happily worked the itinerary around our family's interests. Our Galapagos cruise was amazing! Everyone on the boat (both the crew, the naturalists, and the other passengers) were so fun to be around. The crew kept the ship clean and we were well fed with delicious food. The naturalists were so knowledgeable and willing to answer all of our questions. We were so lucky in that we saw more animals than we thought we would! Overall, it was an amazing trip!

The guides and activities were 5 star. The food was 2 star for our tastes - too "fancy." The meal highlight for nearly everyone was the sundae bar one night - ice cream and toppings. Our advice - simplify the meals and worry less about presentation. The captain preferred to move at night. The issue is you hear and feel everything on a small boat. By moving late at night, everyone is awakened by the anchor going up and down. If the seas are a bit rocky, as they were a few nights during our trip, it's really difficult to sleep. It would have been better to move the boat after dinner to minimize the sleep disruptions. The consensus amongst the guests was we left the boat completely out of energy due to lack of decent sleep.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We appreciate your acknowledgment of the excellence of our guides and the activities. We understand from your comments that the food, in your perspective, did not meet your expectations. We recently implemented a new menu curated by our master chef David Ramirez, featuring a diverse selection of Ecuadorian, Latin American, and International Cuisine. This menu revamp has been well-received by our Guests who have left great comments and reviews. However, we do recognize and respect that everyone has different tastes, and we regret if our culinary offerings seemed too "fancy" or did not meet your expectations. We aim to continually improve and value feedback like yours. We will take your suggestion to simplify certain meals and focus less on presentation into consideration for our future menu planning. Regarding the issue of night travel, the Galapagos National Park sets the rules about when and where every vessel has to be. These rules dictate when we have to navigate at night and yes, as with every vessel in the Galapagos, we unavoidably have to raise and lower the anchor. One of the benefits of the Park’s scheduling of the navigation times is that visitors don't waste precious daylight hours getting from point A to B; instead, these hours are maximized for animal encounters and exploring the unique Galapagos habitats. We understand that the noise and movement during these times can cause disruptions to sleep, especially during rocky seas. This occurs with every yacht and ship that sails around the Galapagos, and we apologize for the inconvenience this caused you. Finally, we actively solicit comments and read our Guests' reviews in full detail. We even call our guests to welcome them home and learn more about their experiences firsthand. While we regret you felt tired at the end of your cruise, we want to highlight that this was not the consensus of your fellow guests who did not make any such comments on their comment cards and gave the trip 5 out of 5 stars. However, we do take your feedback seriously as we strive to provide the best possible experience for all our guests. We will emphasize the issue of the nighttime navigations when we do the introductory briefing on the first day of every cruise. Thank you again for your review and the detailed feedback. Your input helps us to continue to enhance our services, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back aboard in the future, ensuring you a comfortable, memorable, and restful experience. Sincerely, ~ The Quasar Customer Service Team

One of the best trips I could take anywhere in the world. The yacht itself is lovely with. staff that clearly cares about every detail. And, this allows for a truly spectacular experiences with days to get close to a variety of life on land, in the air, and in the ocean. The size of the yachts are perfect allowing for close-up experiences and flexibility.

The quality of the crew and expedition was nothing short of excellent. All guides had exceptional knowledge and were very professional at all times. All the staff were very kind and courteous and kept the ship in tip-top shape. The food was very good. We stayed in cabin C7. I really wish we had stayed in a cabin more forward in the boat. We picked this cabin after consulting with Quasar trip planners because it was la larger space for our triple occupancy. While the cabin and bathroom themselves were nice, and adequate space for our three people, the noise level at the bag of the ship was very very high. The engine noise when cruising is what I would consider just below a "roar". Even when not cruising there was a constant exhaust noise from the ship generator. There was also the early morning noise of panga being unloaded right next to our room - with the panga booms banging against the cabin wall. I would recommend these two more rear cabins on C deck come with an advisory on the noise level. Had I known, I would have definitely made a different choice.

Dear Patrick & Yu, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your valuable feedback with us. We are delighted to hear about the positive aspects of your expedition, including our knowledgeable guides, professional staff, and the high quality of food. It's extremely gratifying to know that these elements of your journey met your expectations. However, we are genuinely concerned and apologetic about the noise issue you experienced in your cabin. We hold your comfort and enjoyment on our yachts in the highest regard, and as it was truly the first noise complaint we received for your cabin all year, we investigated this matter thoroughly. As it turns out, there was a specific issue during your cruise which has since been addressed. During the week of your cruise, a new fan was installed in a working room of the yacht to facilitate better air circulation. This change inadvertently increased the decibel levels in the room and, as a result, in the cabins surrounding the room's air ducts. It was the noise from this fan that caused the constant sound you referred to, not the regular hum from our engines or generators. Since your cruise, we have relocated the fan within the working room and successfully eliminated the disruptive noise. The decibel levels for the cabin you were in have now returned to normal, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Finally, in regard to your comment about the pangas (zodiacs) hitting your cabin wall, we have notified our crew to exercise additional caution when offloading the zodiacs for daily expeditions. While the zodiacs may occasionally bump against the side of the yacht's hull when the seas are not calm, this is not a common occurrence. We will ensure that we inform all guests about this in a timely manner when we expect the seas to be a little choppier. Once again, we appreciate your review. Your comments are instrumental in helping us continually improve our services. We hope to welcome you back aboard a Quasar yacht in the future, promising you a comfortable, memorable, and serene experience. Sincerely, ~ The Quasar Customer Service Team
