“Our trip was outstanding. Everything from the clean, spacious room to the delicious food, the warm, eager-to-please staff and guides was perfect. This was a totally relaxing vacation - no internet - that far exceeded our expectations. We look forward to going again when our grandchildren are old enough to enjoy it.”

“Patagonia is spectacular by itself, but Quasar makes the perfect Patagonia escape easy and effortless. Tasha and Martin put to rest every doubts we had the months and weeks prior to leading a group through Patagonia. We stayed at top notch hotels in remote locations with staff that felt like family by the end of our 4 days. I would, and do, recommend Quasar Expeditions to everyone I know. With Quasar you without a doubt are in the best hands. Thank you Tasha, Martin, Alexandro & Dario for every ounce of work, time and love you put into our Patagonia adventure.”

“Our trip to the Galapagos (San Cristobal to Baltra/Santa Cruz) was excellent in every way. The ship and the accommodations were comfortable and quite nice. Room with private bath was spacious and well appointed. The excursions and briefings were amazing, in part, because of where we were, but especially because the guides themselves were incredible. Their knowledge and ability to communicate information was top notch; both guides were also kind, caring and entertaining. The ship's crew could not have been more attentive and supportive of all our needs. Food service was excellent. There was an interesting variety of items - all tastefully prepared. The entire staff and crew made everything seamless, safe, and pleasant. I appreciated the tremendous amount of behind-the-scenes work they performed, e.g.,sailing from point to point, wonderful meals, taking care of our snorkeling gear, cleaning cabins, etc. The small ship size and the personal attention sets Quasar apart from the larger operators. It was a pleasure to make friends with all participants and to enjoy every activity with a small group.--Toni”

“from the moment we landed on Baltra, we were launched on a wonderful week of learning and exploring the incomparable Galapagos archipelago. the staff was incredibly competent. the naturalists dedicated and wonderful teachers. all, staff and guests, seemed to have a wonderful experience. this was billed as the trip of a lifetime, but I certainly hope we get the opportunity to repeat the experience. Kudos to Quasar Expeditions. PS - their recommendation for our lodging in Quito before we departed for Galapagos was also wonderful. will never forget the family of condors and the guided tour of Old Town Quito.”

“A truly excellent travel experience. The planning stage was superlative and both segments of my trip, the Galapagos and Sacha Lodge, far exceeded my expectations. The accommodations were great and the food was extraordinary. Some of the best guides that I have experienced as well. I highly recommend Quasar Expeditions.”

“We booked our trip of a lifetime with Quasar Expeditions after extensive research -- narrowing it down to the Evolution’s Western itinerary with a chance at visiting Española and seeing the waved albatross. The booking process was organized and well managed by Diane and Paul - whose years of experience were evident every step of the way. They fielded my many questions, gave thoughtful advice, set up our land tours in mainland Ecuador and were extremely responsive in providing any information we required. Quito and Day Tours: Quasar set up a walking tour of Colonial Quito for us and our guide Vicki was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about Ecuadorian history and culture while visiting churches, the plazas, food shops and a museum. Our full day tour with Pablo was excellent and we covered a lot of ground taking a trip up to the Andes Highlands. We visited the Equator monument, saw Mira Lago and tried Ecuadorian “bizcoches”, did a short hike to Peguche waterfall, visited the home of artisan weavers using traditional looms, had lunch at charming old Hacienda Pinsaqui and finished the day shopping at Otavalo market. We enjoyed Pablo immensely and appreciated his ability to answer all of our questions as well as his professionalism. We learned a great deal about Ecuador that we wouldn’t have if we had just done the cruise and that made our 3 nights in Quito worth it. The Ship and Cabin: We also chose the Evolution based on the number of passengers - 32 - which seemed just right to us. This size allowed for manageable numbers at meals, on board and during excursions as they always split the group up in the "pangas" (zodiacs) to go hiking and snorkeling. We chose a cabin on the D level and did not regret the decision. The cabin suited our needs perfectly - enough storage space, charging outlets, a very comfortable bed and a huge bathroom by ship standards. The crew cleaned the cabin several times a day so we always had fresh linens if required and a spotless bathroom. We spent most of our days busy with activities, meals and socializing and did not miss having an accessible porthole since we really only returned to the cabin to shower and sleep. The Evolution was recently remodeled and the new decor is tasteful, modern and classy with clean lines and a coastal spin. Very inviting. The Crew and Guides: We cannot say enough good things about the crew and our guides. From the warm welcome we received, we knew we had chosen the right “home away from home” for the week. The service was 5-star without being fussy -- the crew treated us warmly, kindly and genuinely. Everyone was extremely polite and professional -- a special shout-out to Edison our Cruise Director who knew everyone’s name within a day (and helped make my birthday special) and our bartender Franklin who was a real gentleman. We were also impressed that the Captain was so personable even accompanying us on several outings and interacting with all the passengers. Our naturalist guides Roberto and Carolina were fantastic as well -- passionate about the Galapagos, conservation, the wildlife, ecology, geology and eager to share their knowledge with us. They made every outing memorable with their enthusiasm and unique approaches to sharing such a special place with us. Excursions: Days start early on the Evolution and are jam-packed with activities from morning until dusk. This is not a relax and chill on the deck kind of cruise! Get ready to snorkel in an ocean teaming with marine life, hike on pristine, untouched islands and be wowed by birds, tortoises, iguanas, sea lions, penguins, gorgeous volcanic landscapes, forests and beaches. The guides prepare you with a briefing the night before so you know exactly what the next day holds as well as what you need to wear and bring. Every day brought a new adventure in a new place and none disappointed. Food: The food was delicious! Served buffet style in the dining room (on occasion we had lunch outside on the deck which was wonderful) So many options for each meal with fresh fruits, vegetables, salads, several types of meat and also fresh seafood daily. Not to mention the brilliant pastry chef who spoiled us with dessert at lunch and at dinner! Fresh, wholesome cooking and really good quality. The Ecuadorian ceviche with popcorn is something everyone should try! Overall this was one of the best vacations we have ever taken and we would highly recommend Quasar Expeditions and the Evolution to anyone considering a trip to the Galapagos.”

“There are trips and adventures you can try and plan well, and then there are trips that are well-planned. This experience was not just "a vacation someplace different," but an "over-the-top" life experience that will ALWAYS rest in our Top 3, no matter what else we do in this life. The 7 days spent aboard the M/Y Grace, visiting remote islands in the Galapagos and immersing ourselves in the nature and wildlife of those special places - up close and personal with zero sense of threat by the animals that inhabit those arid lands - cannot possibly be matched anywhere else on the planet. The ship's crew, the on board naturalist, the physical comfort of the vessel, the superb dining experiences, the small passenger list (generating great camaraderie and newfound friendships), the daily hiking, snorkeling and small boat adventures - it all added up to pure escapism and a rediscovered child-like wonder of one of the last great unpopulated wonderlands left on Earth. Quasar Expeditions demonstrated their knowledge, capabilities and foresight from start to finish, handling every request and arrangement with total professionalism, accountability and skill. These are the ONLY people I would recommend to anyone wishing to explore the Galapagos to the fullest, and I plan to turn to them again when we begin planning our adventure to Patagonia...”

“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.”

“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.”

“All Quasar staff members attend to any detail that one might encounter when traveling.Upon arrival of our flights, there was always someone to meet us at the arrivals gate with resources and staff to get us to our hotel. Drivers were all very personable, knowledgeable, and prompt. Tour guides were very prompt, professional and knowledgeable. Food provided was excellent. Accommodations booked by Quasar staff were excellent. We really appreciated the expertise of all Quasar did for us as we journeyed through Peru, the Amazon, and the Galapagos. It was a very memorable trip of a lifetime. We would truly welcome the opportunity to travel with Quasar again to any of their destinations.”
