“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.”

“Our experience aboard the Evolution was superb. The wonderful crew and the extraordinary naturalists, Roberto, Boli and Alex, made it the trip of a lifetime. Diane and Paul handled all the arrangements and my endless questions with ease and reliability. Their recommendations were perfect for our Quito accommodations. We so enjoyed our Evolution “family” for the week and would definitely travel with Quasar again in the future.”

“5 stars times 2. We have no shortage of superlatives to spread around here. There were so many things that we needed assistance with from the moment we landed in Quito.....and Quasar was already prepared to handle everyone of them. Big plus. They took care of all those potential stressors that come with foreign travel. We were in VERY good hands. Much appreciated. What an adventure...! What a joy to behold and experience. It exceed all expectations in every way. For my wife and I, it was the perfect trip.”

“Just excellent. And from this trip what I take away is the absence of the heavy hand of man. The lack of fear from the animals and lack of pollution. Ideal world. Sheila”

“It was a magical experience. We were able to see the special wildlife of Galápagos Islands. We were able to snorkel with beautiful fish, penguins, marine iguanas, sharks, sea lions, and sea turtles. The nature guides were excellent. We were able to bird watch, see land iguanas, and giant tortoise. The meals were excellent and well prepared. The staff on board were accommodating and helpful.”
