“I cant say enough great things about Quasar. Every step was well planed. I never had to guess or worry about tickets or transportation. The guides and staff are wonderful. The two guides on the boat are a must for everyone. Raphael and Juan are outstanding. I noticed other tour companies and talked to guest that didn't even come close to the service received by Quasar. I cant wait to use Quasar again. Thank you for a vacation of a lifetime. Mark Miller”

“Our group of 32 family, friends, and associates was not an easy one to organize or to please. Most are discerning travelers and many are budget-minded. We had diverse abilities, needs, and expectations—and everyone ended up with nothing but praise and also awe at this one-of-a-kind interaction with nature, science, and culture with very intense encounters with nature while feeling pampered and respected. One member of our group had a limited ability to walk due to recent knee surgeries and other problems. He fully expected to lounge on the boat while others enjoyed the creatures up close. Your crew determined that he would see and do almost as much as the others and created a exceptional plan where the ship’s captain and doctor went on every excursion with him to assist his walking and insure his safety. You arranged special panga rides to the prime spots so he could avoid walking too far or make difficult landings. This was so far above and beyond an expectation that not only did this gentleman have a fantastic time, we all reveled in his enjoyment—and noticed that his physical abilities improved with what turned out to be therapeutic! These guests included serious mountain climbers, expert divers, professional photographers, a marine biologist, experienced yachtsmen, many doctors, lawyers, PhDs in various fields, a writer, filmmaker, judge, editor, and policymakers—a very tough crowd! We also had two people with medically challenging diets. There was not a single complaint about the cabins, delicious meals, or even the demanding schedule. Not only was every need met—the crew intuited some before the request was made. (One guest prefers to drink iced tea and she brought her own mix. When the bartenders saw what she was doing, he brewed some fresh and served it to her as a surprise. Many of us started ordering it as well.) Of course we could rave about the amazing sightings of many varieties of whales, rare birds, undersea encounters in crystalline water, but another group might have a different—but surely as interesting—experience. However, the value of these was not just a list of species but the depth of the information and context that our naturalists conveyed. Also, it was because of their expertise in knowing where to go, the exact time of day, how to avoid other groups in the same location, which was food for the mind and soul as well as the immediacy of the uniqueness of the moment. First and foremost, though, I must praise the safety on this vessel. Getting off an on pangas in various sea conditions can be tricky and your system of three people assisting helped people in their 30s to late 70s to be confident. Plus you always had staff to lend a hand at sea, while snorkeling, or on land in difficult terrain to help many—including me—to have a “personal best” in terms of meeting physical challenges. Your system for handling various levels of snorkelers in open water was the best I’ve ever seen. I cannot praise the crew highly enough for their smarts, professionalism, and personal kindness. Plus, there were certain touches of comfort and luxury made the voyage extra special for me including icy towels after a hot excursion, those delicious and healthful tropical fruit smoothies, the always-fresh and interesting Ecuadorian cuisine, the warm Jacuzzi and cool beverages after a snorkel, the generous beach and spa towels, the wet suit assistance, the luxury linens, tasty snacks, yummy soups, and so much more! I cannot praise Quasar highly enough for its preparation, attention to detail, educational aspects, humor and fun, professionalism, and personal kindness from everyone we encountered.”

“Every aspect of our Galapagos excursion was wonderful. The whole crew from Captain on down went out of their way to provide great service and make sure that every need was met. The guides were extremely knowledgeable, the food was delicious and beautifully presented, the attention to each person's individual needs was remarkable and every member of the crew was delightful.”

“What an amazing adventure. I wasn't sure what to expect and I'm still not sure that I actually have the language to describe the voyage other than to say it was like visiting the Original Garden. Our naturalists were incredibly knowledgeable and made our excursions meaningful and fun; the crew catered not just to our "vacation" needs but also, literally, to our physical needs. I was very concerned for my 83 father's safety and the entire crew, including Captain Victor, took such great care of him, ensuring that he was able to participate as fully as he wanted in a safe manner, was above and beyond. The crew also took into account that a ten year old might feel a little out of place in a crowd of teenagers and adults, and they were so exceptionally kind to my nephew. A wonderful crew and if you ever need a nurse to go on any voyage, I'm your trusted Shellback :-) Thank you all again.”

“I have traveled all over the world and have worked with various tour operators, but nobody does it like Quasar Expeditions. Their product is just as impressive as their staff, and I can't wait to visit South America again so I can see more destinations through their tours! They are quick to accommodate any request, and I am drawn to their unique routes of exploration. Seeing the Galapagos via Grace Kelly's honeymoon yacht and adventuring through Patagonia in my very own Jeep at my own pace was luxury at its finest. I would recommend Quasar to anyone - and I have on many occasions!”

“For my 50th birthday I started on the bucket list with a trip to the Galapagos Islands and booking through Quasar Expeditions made the experience unforgettable. The intimacy of The Grace with the excellent crew and naturalists aboard by week's end we were all like family. Top notch service, food and wonderful staterooms. The itinerary was planned out perfectly that you didn't miss anything form of wildlife whether you were on land or in the sea. The daily schedule was perfectly timed with two great excursions a day and enough down time to reflect on the days activities. If you are planning a trip to the Galapagos Islands I would make a point to book with Quasar Expeditions.”

“A trip of a lifetime with the family. We all enjoyed the experience and the activities. Flora and fauna were incredible. Fauna was the most friendly and not scared of human beings. The sights, activities and the life on board were all friendly, and of the best type and an experience that we had not lived many times. Crew and guides were all very good and worried about us having a great time, never forgetting that we had to be safe and comply with park regulations, but never making us feel that we could not enjoy where we were.”

“Our experience with Quasar expeditions exceeded my expectations. Patagonia is stunningly beautiful, but the ins and outs of travelling between Chile and Argentina in order to see the best parts of it, would be daunting if attempted solo. Plus, given the distances that need to be covered, and the unpredictable weather conditions, having knowledgeable and personable guides in the jeep with us, to steer us toward the best experiences at the best times of day, added up to a top-notch trip.”

“My family and I all agreed that this was our best holiday - beating safari, the Amazon, Barrier reef.. - and all experienced post-holiday blues when we got home. I must admit I was a bit concerned about being stuck on a boat for a week with not a great deal to do - I was completely wrong. Being immersed in the simplicity of the islands for a week was magical, with a good balance of walks, snorkelling, kayaking. The lack of fear of the animals was really quite profound. The guides were extremely knowledgeable, whilst remaining unassuming, and all the boat staff polite and helpful. Being on a smaller boat with only 18 guests was a definite plus, and we were very fortunate in that all the guests were of similar mindset, and got on well with each other.”

“Booked through Quasar - Traveled to Galapagos and Machu Picchu - most obliging and helpful - will use their company again - Of course visiting the "Galapagos" on the MV Evolution and their guides (Raphael and Cristina) helped make for a memorable moment - Diane Schicke from Quasar booking office was always obliging and helpful as was Ana Maria Calderon, who was always available or would get back to you at any hour.”

“Diane and Paul value customer service...personal, authentic, complete caring for our satisfaction and pleasure for our travel experience. Galapagos cruise aboard M/Y Grace was fantastic but even more so because of Quasar and staff. Upfront with Diane, during with Ecuador ground staff and then after with Paul's attention to detail and support. We are seasoned travelers, with adventures around the world...this experience with Quasar ranks at the top. Try, enjoy Quasar for yourself. You'll see.”

“Wonderful cruise with great naturalists. Felt safe the entire time. Loved the land tour especially the farm. Food on the boat was fantastic and way more varied than I was anticipating. Crew was great and was super with my 3 girls - aged 9, 9 and13. Never any rough seas. One addition I would have appreciated would have been a night with the stars - since we were so far from any light contamination - it could have been great.”
