We had a wonderful time on the Evolution - the whole crew, from the captain to the room stewards couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. Our captain Victor went out of his way to assist people on board as did Doctor Isaac. Our Naturalists, Bolo and LuLu were so knowledgeable and personable. I could go on and on about the individual acts of kindness but it would fill pages. Honestly I would recommend this line and ship highly and have already done so to friends!

Quasar Expeditions was excellent! Diane was extremely helpful answering every question that we had regarding our trip to Quito and the Galapagos, as well as our stay on The Grace. Easy to get ahold of by phone and quick to respond to emails, as well!

Highly Recommend. Staff paid great attention to all details from the cabin attendants, naturalists, Cruise Director all the way up to the Ship's Captain. Geology and Natural History of the Galapogos are well worth learning about and Quasar's SS Evolution is a great way to do it with a wide range of activities.

We had a genuinely terrific time. The Galapagos is an unworldly place whose beauty is truly raw. Few places offer such serene peacefulness in an environment that remains, for the most part, unadulterated by mankind. New and old life surrounds one on every island as does the brutality of survival. My family and I would spend every evening contemplating what we had experienced during the day as we appreciated our wonderful accommodations and the worldly people we met. That said, we were impressed by the age range of the passengers which allowed for various degrees of activities depending on one's abilities and desires. The Grace is beautiful and well maintained, and the staff is truly friendly and efficient. The food is plentiful and tasty. The itinerary is very well planned and gives a wonderful overview of the islands and wildlife, both on land and in the water. I also highly recommend working with Quasar. Diane did a great job organizing the trip for us, including setting up our stay in Quito and Hacienda Zuleta (which is a stunning "farm" in the Andes). My family and I look forward to taking future trips with Quasar.

Visiting the Galapagos with Quasar was a wonderful experience. The friendly capable crew met all of our needs. The expert naturalists made sure that everyone who wanted to experienced the wonder of the Galapagos and its animals. I would go back and do it all again in a heartbeat.

My wife and I spent a wonderful week on the M/V Evolution in May 2018. The ship had been recently renovated and it looked great. The room was beautiful and spacious. The bathroom was good sized as well. The common spaces (particularly the upstairs bar/lounge area) were big and very comfortable. There was plenty of space for all 32 passengers. The food was delicious and the staff took great pains to accommodate everyone's needs. Speaking of the staff they were superb. Great personalities and very attentive. The guides were extremely knowledgeable. The itinerary was fantastic, in particular the snorkeling. The only negative, and it obviously didn't stop us from giving this 5 stars, was that our room (C7) had a funky smell coming from the shower drain after 2-3 days at sea. After about 20 minutes in the room you didn't notice it so it wasn't real strong, but we could tell when we first walked in. I'm told that other passengers haven't complained since so they must have fixed it. The location and layout of C7 was great though. We never heard the anchor being dropped early in the AM and we didn't feel the swells that much. I'd recommend the room and certainly Quasar and the Evolution!

We had a wonderful time! Diane, Paul, and all the other Quasar folks we dealt with couldn't have been better. The hotels, tours, and absolutely everything were just great. Even the animals on the islands were very co-operative with posing for pictures.

Just returned from our Galapagos adventure on Quasar’s Evolution. The accommodations, food, crew and guides were all wonderful and made every effort to insure every guest was able to experience the wonders of the Galapagos. Our guides were raised in the islands and their enthusiasm, knowledge and pride was obvious.

I just went on the Evolution with two great guides, Roberto and Sammy. It's a very special place. Hard to believe the gorgeous photos one sees in coffee-table books or on-line are really what you see when you are there. The boat is beautiful, comfortable and all staff provided excellent service. Really fun to swim with sea lions, penquins, turtles, sharks, rays and inumerable fish. Hope I win the free trip so I can return soon!

Our trip on the Grace exceeded all our expectations and was the trip of a lifetime. The crew were all wonderful and provided outstanding service. Daily briefings helped us prepare for each day’s adventures. I’ve never been so anxious to get up early, but as it often meant getting in outstanding snorkeling before breakfast, everyone was ready to go. I haven’t stopped talking about the trip and heartily recommend cruising with Quasar. Thank you for helping me check off the number one item on my bucket list.

The Evolution is a great size ship to tour the Galapagos. The cabin, food, snorkeling gear and crew were all in A1 shape. The naturalists, Christina and Walter were very knowledgeable about the islands, history and the animals. They made sure everyone got to see the amazing animals. So enjoyed snorkeling with the fish, sea lions, sea turtles, and even the sharks. I would encourage anyone to experience this awesome vacation.

We did extensive research before deciding on the ship Evolution for our Galapagos cruise. Since it is owned by Quasar Expeditions we contacted them to plan our trip. Diane and Paul (in the US office) were extremely helpful and personable in planning our itinerary. We booked our own flights to Quito but once we arrived we were in the capable hands of our Quito guide and driver, Gustavo. He was knowledgeable, interesting, always prompt and very cordial. Diane had recommended Hacienda La Jimenita for our pre-Galapagos stay of three nights and we couldn't have been more pleased. It was a lovely property with a most welcoming owner, Daniel, and a wonderful, warm staff. We stayed there one night also post-Galapagos and felt like we were returning home. Our seven day cruise on the Evolution was great. The staff was outstanding, cabin very nice, food delicious, and plenty of activities with two excellent naturalist guides. From start to finish this was an exceptional trip and we highly rate Quasar Expeditions and would certainly travel with them again.

Our recent trip to the Galapagos aboard the Evolution far exceeded our expectations. From the initial contact to the final leg of transportation home the staff of Quasar executed flawlessly. The Galapagos Islands are a very special place. Traveling the 450 nautical miles aboard the ship is definitely the best way to see as much wildlife and scenery as possible. The naturalists are very knowledgeable and their love and pride of their homeland was evident throughout the trip. The crew attended to every detail and went above and beyond in every aspect. It was definitely the trip of a lifetime and a must do if you have ever had even the slightest interest in exploring this part of our world. Thank you Quasar!
