“White glove service all the way. Professional and caring crew. Beautiful stateroom. Excellent food with attention to my familie's vegetarianism and my daughter's peanut allergy. Our trip on the Evolution had at least 8 vegetarians from different families and we were all well fed. Incredible excursions to islands that show what the world was like before people in such a natural way. Memorable animal encounters on land and in the water. Friendly fellow passengers that felt like family by the end of the trip. Plan to return again in the future and for sure will be with Quasar on the Evolution or the Grace.”

“This was a dream come try for Nancy and me. To say that Quasar exceeded our expectations, is too much of an understatement. What made it possible was the incredible staff aboard the Evolution, who worked tirelessly to ensure we maximized our experiences. Their professionalism in and out of the water, shown forth each day. They were able to take advantage of a rare siting of blue whales in which we spotted no less than six whales and were able to observe them for almost an hour. They were most accommodating to Nancy and me, who had to be the oldest couple aboard, but able to participate in all events. Thank you Quasar for an experience we will never forget and will always treasure! Bob and Nancy Hall”

“My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the Darwin's Legacy (2 weeks) cruise on M/V Evolution with Quasar. The guides were outstanding, our room on C deck was comfortable, and the food was wonderful with lots of fresh fruits, vegetables, and local fish options. Quasar took excellent care of us from the time we arrived at the Quito airport to head to Baltra through the time we headed back to the mainland after our cruise completion. We especially appreciated the commitment to safety held by all the crew and staff of the Evolution. The month of May turned out to be a great time to visit the Galapagos Islands. Blue-footed, Red-footed, and Nazca boobies were all courting and nesting, as were the Waved Albatross. Enjoyed snorkeling almost daily with all the beautiful fishes, grazing sea turtles and marine iguanas, sea lions, sharks and rays. We also enjoyed kayaking. It is a very active itinerary.”

“I could go on for hours about the magic of the Galapagos Islands, but you are here to review Quasar and the Evolution Yacht, so I will stay focused. The staff aboard the Evolution made all the difference and were truly adored. The naturalists knew the Islands intimately and shared their knowledge in creative, interesting, and often humorous ways. For instance, sea lion whiskers can sense electrical impulses and feel our heartbeats, which is why they swim close to us—they enjoy our excitement. The naturalists are full of such fun facts! The chefs prepared incredibly tasty yet healthy meals with a wide variety of options. Our rooms were tidied several times daily, with towels folded into fun designs. These details added to the fun of this adventure. Every staff member was courteous and always delightful. This adventure is meant for those wishing to explore actively, with up to four different excursions a day! The overall organization of the itinerary pleased this type A. Everything was smooth and timely. We hiked, kayaked, snorkeled, and toured in the dinghy. Hikes were often over rugged terrain, but they were short, only about a mile, allowing us to enjoy and photograph the wildlife. The optional activities were never overwhelming, and there were always less challenging options. Most excursions lasted about an hour, which was perfect. We returned to the yacht between adventures to grab a deliciously prepared snack and freshen up before heading off to the next one. The size of the yacht also positively influenced our experience. We were broken up into three groups of ten people, so every excursion felt personalized. Instead of just sightseeing, we learned in-depth about all the natural wonders and animals.”

“The crew and naturalists were wonderful, the food was great, the bar was superb, and the activities were non-stop. The Grace rooms were wonderful and the common areas spacious and comfortable. The wildlife, snorkeling, views and kayaking were as advertised. A great experience. It truly was an adventure and not a vacation.”

“Quasar organized the trip of a lifetime. Everything was taken care of from shuttles to airport transfers to flights...you name it. The Grace was beautiful. I was traveling with my son so we shared a room but it was spacious and comfortable and conveniently positioned for all things. The crew was incredibly attentive and friendly. The food was fantastic, our cabins were stealthily attended and even the captain participated in our daily excursions. Our expedition guides made everything fun, but they were also incredibly informative. I loved it all and can't say enough about the trip, the boat, the people and Quasar”

“The crew and staf f were great. Ariana, our cruise director, was kind and lovly. Naturalists were interesting as were all the islands visited. My dietary restrictions were not met, not at all. And, I suffered in the toilet for it. The cook and chef should have read my concerns and provided a solution. Another passenger had issues worse than I. We are not so fond of group tours so I mostly kept quite. Some had displayed a propensity towards the right wing but I remained tight lipped polically. The boats rocking and rolling made me think, as an after thought, that the ship was not as calm as, say, a wider more stable craft with double hulls.I”

Dear Richard, Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent cruise experience. We're pleased to hear that you found our crew and staff, including Ariana and the naturalists, to be kind and interesting. It's wonderful to know that you enjoyed the islands visited. However, I am genuinely sorry to hear that your dietary restrictions were not met adequately. Our chefs are always very attentive to such needs and usually receive great compliments for their ability to accommodate various dietary requirements as you can read on the many other reviews about our food on this platform. They were indeed aware that you do not consume whole corn kernels, mayonnaise, cream or buttery sauces, and prefer very few fried foods. It's disappointing to hear that this attention did not meet your expectations this time, and we apologize for any discomfort this may have caused you. Regarding the ship's stability, I want to clarify that catamarans are not inherently more stable when navigating rough seas compared to our monohull vessels equipped with stabilizers. The Galapagos experienced particularly rough seas during your trip, which contributed to the increased rocking and rolling you felt. We understand how this can affect your comfort and appreciate your patience during such conditions. While we strive to make each cruise as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, it seems we fell short during your trip. We take all feedback seriously and will use your comments to improve our services. If you have any further concerns or would like to discuss this matter in more detail, please feel free to reach out to us directly at customerservice@quasarex.com or by calling us at Worldwide / USA +1 415-738-8369. Thank you again for your feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future. Warm regards, Diane Schicke Customer Success Hero

They took us to all the right places to see the incredible wildlife on the land, in the air, and in the sea. The food was also excellent. Would highly recommend Quasar.”

“Quasar exceeded my expectations! This was a trip of a lifetime, and yes, you should go. Each day we didn't think it could get any better and then it did. Every detail was taken care of from meeting us at the airport to getting us to the yacht and finding our luggage in our stateroom. The staff/crew of the Evolution are very friendly and helped with every need, especially my dietary needs. The Galapogos Islands are magical. The animal and plant life there are unlike anywhere else. The blue footed boobies, the marine iguana, the lava lizards, the albatros, the hawks, the dolphins, sea lions, pilot whales, and different sharks were just a few of what we saw. I have so many favorites that it's difficult to pick just one, but swimming/snorkeling with dolphins and sea lions was at the top. However, seeing a volcano erupting from 150 yards away was beyond amazing too.”

“Our family of four had the most incredible experience with Quasar on board The Grace Yatch. For us, this experience extended beyond wildlife watching; it was an educational journey that helped us learn and appreciate our beautiful and fragile ecosystem even more. The biologists on board were outstanding and incredibly knowledgeable, providing insights into the rich biodiversity and geological formations that make this destination so unique. This unique ecosystem supports a variety of species, from the giant Galápagos tortoises to the playful sea lions, an activity that we enjoyed very much. The islands offered numerous opportunities for daily guided tours and snorkeling. The meals were amazing, and the staff was very friendly. This was an unforgettable trip. Thank you Quasar ♥️ Lewicky ~ San Martin family”
