We found Paul and Diane online when we were researching a trip to the Galapagos. We researched boats; determined the type and quality of boat we wanted and settled on one connected to Quasar. Had we known about Quasar before, it would have saved us google time! Nevertheless, from the time we were connected to Quasar and Paul and Diane, the planning went smooth as silk. Diane answered all my questions, sent information and booking forms right away, advised us on what to expect, and what to bring, and kept us in the loop from booking through stepping foot on the boat. You can trust the information you get from Paul and Diane, and that is so very important when planning a trip so far away and that costs so much money!!! And, they are so pleasant to deal with. If there were more stars, I would give them more!

The captain, crew and naturalists were terrific. The boat was spotless and the cabins were roomy and tasteful. Outstanding trip and will do it again.

From the moment I got to the Galapagos and got on your beautiful boat, my trip exceeded any expectations I may have had! Each day was a new discovery, from the moment we swam with the sea lions to our last day on North Seymour island with the frigates and the booby’s! Our naturalists, Gustavo and Walter, had so much knowledge And their love and respect for their islands was palpable. I can’t imagine that I will take another trip in my life that will top this one, so thank you so much!

I felt at home and supported for ALL my needs, be they questions about nature and the Galapagos, or our itinerary and food options. Everything on the ship was clean and tidy, and the rooms were very spacious for a ship. I can’t wait to join again!

Unequivocally one of best active travel experiences we have had to date. We strongly recommend doing a back-to-back itinerary; the two weeks flew by. The staff of the Grace couldn't do enough for us. Superb meals, wonderful ambiance aboard, amazing snorkelling/hiking experiences -- a photographer/videographer's dream come true.

I was very happy with how easy Diane at Quasar was to work with. There were times where my credit card/bank was being difficult with the payment and she was very understanding.

Quasar did a wonderful job organizing our Galapagos cruise and the crew of the Evolution and the guides that we were assigned were all fantastic! For those who are interested in a luxury eco adventure, I highly recommend Quasar and the Evolution Yacht.

Going to the Galapagos had long been a dream of ours. After calling several other sites I spoke with Paul & Dianne of Quasar Expeditions & knew immediately that they were who we wanted to go with. They are informative, helpful & not pushy.We booked a 7 day cruise on the Evolution a 32 passenger boat. From the minute that they meet you at the airport to the minute that they take you to the airport to leave, they are the most professional & fun people that you could ever want to be with. The boat is spotless, the meals were excellent, the guides and the entire crew are terrific and the islands are spectacular. We spent the day before in Quito to avoid any travel problems & had a guided old town tour [ highly recommended]. If you are thinking of going to the Galapagos, go with Quasar Expeditions, it's definitely a 10 out of 10. Marc & Phyllis Berger Niantic, CT cruise date 1/12/19

Best Trip with Naturalists Ever. I've been to 45 countries and 50 states. I've been on 2 cruises, one river cruise and whitewater rafted the Grand Canyon. This was the best trip ever. The naturalists were all outstanding. It's my first time snorkeling where I had instruction and was taught about what I was seeing. The crew was always very friendly and helpful. The food was good. The boat was comfortable, clean and well-appointed. The cabins were larger than any boat I've been on.

We have just returned from a Jeep Overland Safari to Patagonia in Chile and Argentina organized by Quasar Expeditions. We did the self guided trip as we wanted the independence, but Quasar took away all the worry of the logistics which left us free to really enjoy ourselves. They thought of everything, from safety equipment such as a satellite phone for emergencies to cooler bags stocked with goodies. All hotels, tickets for national parks and excursions, border crossing documents to airport transfers were taken care of. Memorable excursions included a great day at an Estancia, where we went horseback riding to ice trekking on the Perito Moreno glacier in Argentina. We also did a pre-trip add on to the Atacama Desert which was a wonderful start to a magical trip. All the Quasar staff we came into contact with were wonderful, including the staff who we organized the trip with, a big shout out to Tasha Williams who helped create our trip. It is all very customized and Tasha was always available to answer our questions. I would highly recommend using Quasar and I am sure my husband and I will be reminiscing about this holiday for a long time to come.

Our Galapagos cruise on the Grace was the most amazing trip! The ship is beautiful, the crew was amazing, including our fabulous guide Rafa. And our Peru extension to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu was wonderful. Every day was a new adventure, it truly was the trip of a life time.

What an amazing adventure I had with my sister in the Galapagos Islands through Quasar Expeditions. Everything we had hoped for and more. Started with a fun adventure in Quito and then continued starting in San Cristobal Island with Quasar. We were on the Evolution, a beautiful ship (32-passengers). The staff was absolutely incredible - fun, friendly, helpful, accommodating. The ship is beautiful - the rooms are spacious and modern and there are lots of places to hang out on the boat, including the hot tub at the front of the boat and the bar lounge outside. The food was delicious and there was a lot of variety. The guides are so incredibly knowledgeable - we didn't just see things, we learned so much. I was so tired at the end of each day from all the great excursions - hiking, snorkeling, kayaking, more hiking. We also had great passengers on the trip who were easy to get along with and fun. One of the best parts of this trip was the small number of total passengers on the boat, which allowed us to be more free to explore. One day while eating lunch outside on the back of the ship, someone saw some dolphins - our guides told us to leave our lunch and jump in the pangas (small dinghys) and we were off, riding alongside what turned out to be a pod of hundreds (maybe even a thousand) dolphins. It was incredible. The entire trip was incredible and we would highly recommend this to anyone thinking of traveling to the Galapagos!

Amazing one week in Patagonia!!! Well organized with the perfectly balanced itinerary. Self-guided Jeep tour was certainly the way to go...ensured our daily independence but we always had the support of the QE team.
