Wonderful, wonderful experience. From the moment we contacted quasar about booking our trip experience was seamless. Paul and Diane were wonderful and answered every question we had. Every island we visited was extraordinary and the naturalists made our trip. They are some of the most knowledgeable people I have already encountered and are so passionate about their job. All of the staff were lovely and very attentive. The chef, David, was beyond accommodating and would make certain foods for my picky husband to ensure we were all well fed. The bartender Caesar was amazing! I very much enjoyed the nightly educational presentations I would recommend bringing a USB as some of the guides take pictures to share but they are not available electronically. In addition we booked our flights outside of quasar and I would not recommend flying home out of Guayaquil. Our flight was cancelled for 24 hours whereas if we flew out of Quito there would be many more options to fly home from. However even with our poor flight home experience (which we booked ourselves) the trip was so wonderful we would do it all over again! We will definitely travel with Quasar again!

The Quasar Galápagos experience for our family is unforgettable and beyond our expectation. I stayed at A-2 suite and the room was always kept nice and clean. The programs of trip were so nicely designed that we really had great time. I particularly enjoyed to talk to my naturalist Bolla, he is humorous, knowledgeable but also very responsible. The food service was also incredible. Because of ambience was so nice, all 32 guests got along extremely well. I definitely will recommend Quasar to my son and my oldest daughter’s family! Keep up the good work! Ching J. Chen, MD

Trip of a lifetime aboard M/Y Grace, the most beautiful boat in the Galápagos with the most wonderful staff. It was like having a safari at sea! Every day I woke to new surroundings and had new adventures. My husband and I snorkeled with sea lions, sea iguanas, penguins, sea turtles and a multitude of fish. We hiked lava fields and cactus forests where we saw beautiful birds, lizards, land iguanas and more. We kayaked and we ate like kings and queens! Every meal included three courses and was plated just for us by our chef. Our room was well attended to on a daily basis. The Grace was well cared for and clean from top to bottom. Honestly, I cried a few tears when we left the ship to travel home. This trip I will never, ever forget!

2 guest, who became friends told me they had taken this trip with Quasar Expedition on the ship Evolution before which I thought odd with all the places to go in the world. Now I see why. From the very first contact with the Office Staff, Naturalist Guides and the entire ship staff, all were outstanding and I give the highest praise.

Quasar was fantastic to work with! This was the first time I booked directly with the tour operator to book a vacation rather than working with a travel agent. Diane and Paul exceeded expectations and answered all of my many questions. I got a quick response from the Quito team after advising them of my arrival delay in Guayaquil. They made sure the Wyndham transfer was there and waiting. This was my 2nd time to the Galapagos on the M/V Evolution and the islands continue to amaze me -- new things to see!! Baby Boobies and Baby Albatrosses! Our naturalists on board were Boli, Rogelio and Lola. They were extremely knowledgeable, had a great sense of humor and made sure everyone had an incredible time. This trip is an adventure of a lifetime! Thank You Quasar!!!

First, I want to thank Bolo, Alex, Cristina, Frank, Steve, Irina, and the rest of the crew for making us feel as "old friends". You made the trip a memorable one! This trip was absolutely wonderful. Our expectations were greatly exceeded. The activities were well planned and very exciting, the food was delicious and healthy, the drinks prepared by Frank were fantastic. I believe that I'm running out of good adjectives to describe this experience. I would recommend Quasar, and the Evolution Yacht to everyone. It's a must!!!

Excellent service. We received detailed instructions to help us prepare for the trip. Everything was arranged to our satisfaction. The list of things to bring is extensive. I'd suggest they edit it as a few things we brought were unnecessary.

The Quasar experience was wonderful. The crew and the naturalists were helpful, knowledgable, personable and fun. While smaller than your typical cruise ship, the Evolution was quite nicely appointed with nice finishes and stylish touches. It is nicer than the larger cruise ships. The food was also plentiful, healthful and well presented. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone.

I went on the same boat last October and booked again because every single aspect of the trip exceeded my expectations. The itinerary and staff ratio led me to book the first time, but the food, accommodations, and crew made it an easy choice for trip #2. The islands are wildly different depending on the season, I definitely recommend going more than once! The guides are excellent and the small groups lend to not only seeing the animals up close but also amazing pictures. If you're into focusing on the scenery other guests are always glad to share photos (airdrop saved me this trip as I left my DLSR at home). I've done both trips solo but would also return for a 3rd (or more!) trip with a friend or my boyfriend. I'm sure a +1 would be great but as for solo trips, booking with Quasar is by far my favorite. The other guests are good fun and every detail is handled making this the most refreshing week ever. I love that there is no guest phone/wifi service on the boat, I hope that never changes. Food is excellent. I'm vegetarian and was very impressed with their attention to detail and always having separate plates for those of us with dietary requirements/preferences. I requested almond milk and on the first breakfast I was promptly brought a glass before I could even pour my coffee. Outside of the boat, Quasar's level of service is remarkable. I (half-joking) emailed Diane for a local orthodontist recommendation since I melted my retainer on day one of my week prior to the cruise, when they didn't catch me at the hotel - they called my guide en route to our excursion with an appointment scheduled that day. I was impressed but not surprised given their excellence with every other detail of my previous trip. Speaking of recs, Diane's suggestion to stay at Hacienda Jimenita the week before my cruise was also wonderful and I would definitely stay there again! I didn't even have to think of my flight, Quasar organized everything with the hotel for my transfer and pickup time. I cannot imagine visiting the Galapagos with anyone other than Quasar and have recommended them to all of the friends and coworkers that have asked about my trip.

This group takes care of everything. Even before you land in Ecuador you know that there is someone waiting to assist you at the airport. All the paperwork has been done for you from 1st to last day and they personally have representatives to guide you. Our cabin was spacious and beautiful. The crew was anxious to make sure you had everything you needed and more. The excursions were informative and led by expert naturalists who care for each of the group's members. On the last day of our trip, we renewed our wedding vows. The crew surprised us by decorating our cabin, leaving a bottle of champagne and chocolates. This is indeed the group to go with for a trip of a lifetime.

My family all agreed that this was the best vacation. Quasar makes planning the trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos a breeze. They really took care of every detail. We had extremely high expectations for our time aboard the Evolution and it far exceeded what I'd hoped for. The boat is in excellent condition, the staff and crew graciously attended to our every need and the naturalists made our time feel like a total adventure. As a bonus, our fellow passengers that week were fantastic. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Gracias Quasar!

Spectacular! Trip of a lifetime! The entire staff was so kind and professional. The guides were so knowledgeable, and it was obvious that they have a passion for the Galapagos that is limitless! Special shout out to Steve for making sure our son, who is a picky eater, was fed and nourished throughout the trip!! Made our excursion SO much better!!

Our Quasar Expedition to the Galapagos Islands was by far one of our best trips ever! Everything was well organized, our accommodations on the M/S Grace were wonderful and we had probably the best 2 naturalists in the Islands. What a perfect "once in a lifetime" family trip that we'll cherish always!

Our family of four, including 2 teenage children, had a fabulous time on the M/V Evolution. The ship was the perfect size, extremely comfortable, and the staff was terrific. Loved the fact that unlike many other boats, we had exterior decks on 2 levels for watching the sunrise, star gazing, relaxing, and making use of the great hot tub. We had amazing experiences from walking on black lava fields, to snorkeling with sea turtles, penguins, sea lions, and more. Our Naturalist guides,Boli and Gustavo, were extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, and lots of fun to learn from on each excursion. The other guests were interesting and adventurous people and striking fast friendships with them on this friendly boat greatly enhanced our experience. We would definitely (and have already) recommend the Evolution to anyone looking for a Galapagos cruise experience.
