From the first contact with Quasar, we were impressed by their efficiency, knowledge, and pleasant style. This positive impression continued throughout our vacation. All planning moved smoothly. No glitches. The cruise itself and the Quasar crew helped make this the special trip that it was. No reservations in giving them a 5 star rating.

Unforgettable trip - Fernando and his team were the absolute best. Their hospitality was 5-star, without being too buttoned up. Would recommend to anyone!

This was one of the best family vacations of our lives. The beauty of the nature was not the only reason why. The crew, yacht, organization, day’s plan, meals, ambiance, and itinerary all also had an equal contribution in making this one of the best trips of my life as well. This is especially valuable considering that I have traveled to more than 35 countries. Everything was impeccable. The crew was extremely kind, attentive, carrying, and tailored some of the days’ activities based on the “spirit” of the group traveling. I give this trip a 5 star recommendation and my fullest recommendation. Thank you Quasar for such a fabulous and unforgettable experience!

Quasar and it's staff were extremely helpful. During the entire trip, everything ran smoothly and was very well coordinated with the drivers, guides and all services. If you are going to the Galapagos, the ONLY way to go is on the Grace!

Quasar Expeditions was amazing from beginning to the end of the trip. We loved everything about our trip to Patagonia. I would highly recommend using this company. We will definitely use them again when we travel back to South America.

Everything about our trip went flawlessly. The captain and the entire crew were top notch. The chef did a great job. Our naturalist was thoroughly knowledgable as you might expect of someone who was born and raised in the Galapagos. I do not think our experience could have been improved upon. Much credit to the other wonderful guests (now friends) who also made it memorable.

First rate outfit! Highly recommended. Diane was very knowledgeable about Ecuador and The Galapagos, very responsive, and very thoughtful about tailoring the itinerary to the specific needs of our family of 4. The reservations process were a breeze, and Diane did her best to give us best pricing. The Galapagos is not a typical holiday and she was able to address the many questions we had and gave great advice on the choice of cruise vessel, type of cabins, what to expect, what to bring, etc. Quasar also made the land arrangements in Quito, which deserves at least a couple of days, and her suggested hotels and excursions were perfect fits for us. We had a wonderful time, partly thanks to Diane, partly thanks to The Evolution, it’s crew and naturalists, and particularly the wonder that is The Galapagos.

Our Galapagos Islands trip on the M/V Evolution far exceeded our expectations. Incredible scenery, animals up close and personal everywhere we went. The on-board naturalists were passionate about their work and it was a joy to spend our week with them. The ship's crew was professional and fun. I'll definitely be booking my next adventure to South America with Quasar.

This was a trip of a lifetime. The naturalists and ship staff were outstanding. Alix had a deep understanding and encyclopedic knowledge of the region that only 30 years of study brings. Lulu was quite knowledgeable and really, really funny. Our fellow guests were all very compatible and interesting company. This tour operated like a well oiled machine behind the scenes. Good times just kept happening with seemingly no effort, at least on our part. I know the entire staff worked very hard to make it appear so. The animals! The geology! Playing with sea lions while snorkeling! Mating Albatross! Territorial threat displays between male land iguanas! Walking on lava flows! Pinch me and tell me if this was a dream.

I am so glad that I chose Quasar for my Galapagos trip. The Evolution was a wonderful vessel. Cabins were lovely and it was very well maintained. The food was consistently excellent and they were very helpful catering to some of my food restrictions. Loved that there were so many Ecuadorian specialties. To a person, the crew was excellent. Helpful, professional, warm. And the naturalists, Sam Q and Walter C, were excellent. Really knowledgeable about the Islands and the animals and plants. Very patient answering all our questions. And they were fun to be around. They clearly had great passion for this very special place and were generous in sharing their knowledge with us. This was a bucket list trip for me and it exceeded my expectations. I would definitely travel with Quasar again

Diane and Paul were very helpful from the very start. We followed their instructions and the process was not overwhelming. They answered our questions in a timely manner and also allowed us to plan our trip to our liking. The crew of Quasar Expeditions called us in Quito with flight changes, we were already aware of them through Paul but the second reminder was thoughtful. The representative met us promptly at Quito airport with our travel documents. The Evolution and crew were amazing and each member of the crew did an outstanding job, They were very friendly and worked extremely well together. The food was displayed beautifully and tasted very good. The crew were also very personable, pleasant and always willing to assist us with anything. We were very appreciative of the Captain and his crew. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly. The schedule was great for maximizing our different excursions with the wildlife in each specific area. We did alot more that I thought we were going to do but I was happy to participate in each tour and get the most out of my Galapagos experience. Also the crew took care of all our snorkel equipment every time and assisted us if we needed help. I thoroughly enjoyed this cruise and would recommend it to anyone.

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.

Dear Diane, Thank you for all you did to make our trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands so very special. It was a marvelous adventure. Every aspect of the trip was excellent from your careful planning and astute advice to the execution and performance of everyone on the Quasar team during our travels... bus drivers, guides, yacht personnel. We especially appreciated the way the two guides, Bolo and Walter, so capably accommodated our bi lingual family conducting briefings and expeditions in both English and Spanish. You can be sure that we will enthusiastically recommend Quasar to our fiends. Warmest regards, Tom

Unbelievably fantastic! I was so impressed by Quasar’s attention to detail. They kept us informed on not on,y our itenarary but as to how to prepare. If we had any questions, they were eager to help. They virtually held our hand from arrival into Quito until our departure back home. When my wife developed altitude sickness, they helped arrange for a doctor to visit her and continued to check up on her throughout the next few days. When we decided to change our return layover from Quito to Guayaquil, they were on top of the changes and quickly made arrangements for a new hotel. I can’t say enough about how personal and professional they were. We are already planning our next expedition with Quasar. Walt Peterson

We found this company on the internet and decided to use them because of the opportunity to drive ourselves with local support if needed. They were great from start to finish and the trip was amazing. Felt safe, Jeep was great, directions made travel and border crossing easy. Loved the hotels (Singular, Tierra Patagonia, Eolo). Beautiful landscapes, great food - enough variety for even picky eaters.

My husband and I and our high-school aged daughter traveled to the Galapagos over the Christmas holiday (Dec. 2016) with Quasar and I cannot recommend this trip more highly! Every aspect of the trip was perfect, including the food, the on-boat accommodations, and all of the staff. The Quasar folks (Diane especially) who assisted with our pre-trip arrangements were also excellent! The naturalist/guides on the ship with us were knowledgeable and helpful, whether we were snorkeling or hiking/exploring on shore. They even took photos (including underwater photos), which we received on an SDM card free of charge at the end of the trip !! One major advantage of the smaller ship that Quasar uses ("The Grace") is that our group could move much more nimbly in and out of various snorkel and hiking excursions than large ships which have many more people to organize and coordinate. We spent no time waiting for others in our group -- lots of time doing things. And we got to know (and enjoyed) everyone on our ship. A trip of a life-time, which we will all remember fondly !!

We had a great time on our trip to the Galapagos Islands. The registration process was perfect. The staff on the ship were excellent. My/Grace is truly the top ship in the Galapagos.

We had such a fabulous time on our Galapagos cruise. The itinerary was excellent and we were up close and personal with so many different animals. The staff couldn't have been more helpful, and the food and facilities were perfect.

We loved our trip in the Galapagos with Quasar. The ship Evolution was a beauty, with large staterooms and common areas. All the crew, from the captain to the bartenders, were welcoming, and fun. We hiked and swam everyday. Our guides made sure we were early to the islands to avoid the heat, and crowds. For the most part, it seemed we were the only people on the islands, sharing the natural beauty with the animals
