“W really put pressure on the Quasar resources when we booked our expedition and flights less that a week before the big trip. The Schicke's looked after everything with pleasant calm and smart efficiency. I was amazed that not a t was left uncrossed! We were met at the Quito, Ecuador Airport by a courteous and informative guide and taken directly to our luxurious lodgings at Cultura Manor where the owner, Lazlo is a consummate host. Treated to private dinners, driven for a night out at Peppas for live music and Ecuadorian food, walking distance to the local market and a journey to the center of the world filled four days in clean and friendly Quito. Even completely novice travellers can relax when given the care that we had. Flights to Galapagos were short and easy. "The Evolution", our beautiful 200 foot ship was the epitome of luxury and service. Top drawer in every way. The food was to die for both in Quito and on the ship as Ecuador has an immense bounty of fruits, vegs, meats and seafood all produced locally. Our excursions on land and water were delightful and memorable. Both guides created a passionate and knowledgeable experience. The snorkelling was my favourite activity and while the seas were not always crystal clear I achieved my dream of swimming with hammerheads and penguins. My adrenaline pumps and my knees go mushy just thinking of it!!! I would recommend this trip for anyone who is mobile. I would also do the same trip again … and again … and again!”

“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”

“We have just returned from a Jeep Overland Safari to Patagonia in Chile and Argentina organized by Quasar Expeditions. We did the self guided trip as we wanted the independence, but Quasar took away all the worry of the logistics which left us free to really enjoy ourselves. They thought of everything, from safety equipment such as a satellite phone for emergencies to cooler bags stocked with goodies. All hotels, tickets for national parks and excursions, border crossing documents to airport transfers were taken care of. Memorable excursions included a great day at an Estancia, where we went horseback riding to ice trekking on the Perito Moreno glacier in Argentina. We also did a pre-trip add on to the Atacama Desert which was a wonderful start to a magical trip. All the Quasar staff we came into contact with were wonderful, including the staff who we organized the trip with, a big shout out to Tasha Williams who helped create our trip. It is all very customized and Tasha was always available to answer our questions. I would highly recommend using Quasar and I am sure my husband and I will be reminiscing about this holiday for a long time to come.”

“Having only a week for visiting Patagonia Quasar did a wonderful job. Perfectly organized program and an outstanding guide. Very good information Before the trip. The only stressful situation was tight time Schedule for the flights to Patagonia due to change in flight Schedule by the airline Company. Quasar Expeditions is highly recommended”

“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.”

“From planning and booking the trip with Diane, to being on the Grace for a week, everyone was very professional, helpful, & accommodating. First class service. Quasar and the staff of the M/Y Grace made a trip of a life time even more exceptional. I would highly recommend them. The food and service on board was exceptional”

“I can not recommend Quasar Expeditions enough. The itinerary truly optimized our time in the Galapagos. From day one they were detail oriented and highly organized, yet flexible at the same time; allowing us to fully enjoy the spontaneity of nature without skipping a beat. Would definitely travel with them again! Shout out to our nature guides, Sam and Carolina! So knowledgeable and fun :)”

“Sometimes in life it’s very simple: if you’re going to the Galapagos and you can afford to do it in style, there is no other boat you should pick then the Grace. Having seen many of the other boats around the archipelago, there is no arguing that this is the most stylish, beautiful ship among them. But that’s only the hardware. The software – the crew, the service, the food and the overall experience – is not only impeccable but absolutely delightful. With only 18 guests onboard and 14 crew to man the ship and attend to your every whim, we had the best week of our life. From Captain to Cabin Boy to Naturalists – everyone was a delight to have around. The culinary creations by Chef David and his team of three were superb throughout the week and if our kids (8 and 10 years old) felt like hamburger and chips for a change it was done with a smile and a laugh. There is thus no doubt in my mind that the Grace was the best choice we’ve ever made and I see no argument in favor of a bigger ship. Maybe they are a bit more stable in rough seas, but if you’re prone to seasickness you’ll probably also get seasick on a bigger ship. A smaller ship allows more flexibility (the motto of the Grace), less time wasted getting on and off the pangas and overall a much more personal experience. A big heartfelt THANK YOU to the entire crew, Raffa and Carolina for an unforgettable experience!”

“Janice Samter - The trip itinerery was compact, saw many birds, lizards, sea lions. Many events were available as alternates to snorkling or swimming. Tour schedules were always on time. Naturalists were extremely knowledgable and always at hand.The only dissapointment was the food. There were always many choices but I found most items needing help.”

“We are so happy with our decision to use Quasar for our Galapagos vacation! From the driver picking us up at the airport to the guides on the ship, everything was perfect. The ship staff were attentive and always smiling. The guides, both on land and at sea, were informative and professional. We couldn’t be happier with our choice and have been recommending Quasar to our friends! Thank you for helping make great memories!”

“Best Trip with Naturalists Ever. I've been to 45 countries and 50 states. I've been on 2 cruises, one river cruise and whitewater rafted the Grand Canyon. This was the best trip ever. The naturalists were all outstanding. It's my first time snorkeling where I had instruction and was taught about what I was seeing. The crew was always very friendly and helpful. The food was good. The boat was comfortable, clean and well-appointed. The cabins were larger than any boat I've been on.”
