“From the moment I stepped out of the park headquarters building and met Sam, one of the National Guides, and the rest of the crew, I didn't worry about anything all week long. The crew and staff was so courteous, friendly, and competent that it seemed like everything worked by magic, though of course it was all their hard work the entire week. The islands themselves as experienced during the excursions were nothing short of awe inspiring. Baby sea lions, crabs, untold varieties of birds, iguanas, sharks, fish, flamingos, orcas, turtles, tortoises... and the amazing thing is how unafraid of humans the wildlife is. Something very primal inside of me was touched and awakened in the Galapagos- just being there had that much of an impact. It really was the crew and the Evolution that made the trip, though. The food was wonderful, the cabin was cozy, comfortable and cleaned multiple times a day (perfect for me as a solo traveler, though it could have easily accommodated another person too), the guides did an amazing job of sharing their immense knowledge of the wildlife and geology, and there were many surprises that brought a smile to my face each day. The only time I was ever uncomfortable was in the air conditioning in some of the public spaces. I wish I had brought some additional warm clothes for dinners and briefings as I hadn't anticipate being that cold. Of course, temperature is a balancing act when trying to keep so many people comfortable and the crew did their best to keep all of us happy. Overall, I wish I could go back tomorrow! It's a gorgeous place with wildlife beyond compare, and the competence and friendliness of everyone at Quasar made this the perfect vacation.”

“We did go for the 6 day Patagonia jeep safari with guide in October. Our program was custom made with excellent help from Quasar (Philip) including two nights at the Singular hotel in Puerto Natales and three nights at Tierra Patagonia . This turned out to be a very good balance. It allowed us to enjoy two nights at the Singular, one of the best hotels in the world with a very nice views and a superb restaurant. We had programmed a short boat trip to the Estancia La Peninsula, a very enjoyable day! The Tierra Patagonia hotel, close to the Torres del Paine national park is also excellent with an always present manager taking care. Three days were sufficient to explore Torres del Paine especially since we had excellent weather. Quasar delivered as advertised, very professionally and very well organised. Our local guide Gonzalo was outstanding : friendly, knowledgeable, very good driver, perfect communicator. We did go for easy walks in the park and this was a very good choice giving us plenty of time to enjoy the landscapes and the wildlife. Thank you Philip and Gonzalo for this once in a lifetime experience!”

“The ship's crew, Naturalists, hotel staff, land personnel, and itinerary were excellent as was the food! Minor problems on the ship which the crew tried to fix. Sea conditions were quite choppy but liveable. Saw many species up close, enjoyed the walks and snorkeling. Good blend of passengers who got along very well.”

We had a wonderful time, a huge thanks to the crew who went out of their way to make our trip a memorable experience, especially Edison our cruise director and Alex and Sam our guides who were extremely knowledgable, helpful and took lots of pictures for us.

“We normally like to book our international travels ourselves, but given the complexity of the Galapagos we used Quasar. The service in booking and in ongoing support during the trip was outstanding.”

“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.”

“We had a phenomenal holiday in the Galapagos and Quito thanks to Quasar. Our week on the Grace was one of the most relaxed and pampered of our lives. The team were exceptional from the time of first enquiry. Nothing was overlooked and nothing was too much trouble. Quasar gave us the best opportunities to experience the islands, such that many days, it felt like we were the only people on earth. The food and service was top notch and the guides enriched the trip with their extensive education and local knowledge. We will be back!”

“We have always wanted to visit the Galapagos for a long time. Quasar provided an amazing experience. Our guide, Alex, was incredibly knowledgeable on all things pertains to the islands and the interaction of native plants and species & the stresses that humans and introduced creatures. As far as touring.... Alex made the trip. One of the best guides we've ever interacted with. Quasar provided a very comfortable vessel with spacious rooms. The food was fresh, delicious & excellent. They made sure all guests were well taken care of. We would definitely recommend Quasar to anyone who wants to visit the Galapagos. There were numerous hiking opportunities, snorkeling and wildlife tours.”

“Quasar expeditions looked after us wonderfully in every way. Our cruise of the Galapagos Islands on My Grace was amazing, the naturalists Rafa and Walter were exceptional and the crew looked after us very well. Very happy we chose Quasar and My Grace. We were looked after from the time we landed in Ecuador until we were delivered to the airport in Quito for our flight home. The guides that Quasar provided were terrific, they enhanced the quality of our experience / time in Ecuador. They were knowledgeable, personable, loved their country and had great language skills. In spite of the fact we only speak or read English we left feeling like we had learned a bit about the people and history of Ecuador. Thank you very much! Joyce and Rick Castonguay Calgary Canada”

“Our tour of the Galapagos couldn't have been better. Grace is a beautiful ship, and from the moment we boarded we were treated to a week of adventure and fun. Alex and Walter were excellent guides. They had the answers to all our questions, and shared information about the islands to make every stop so special. The snorkeling and hiking were well planned to give us the best experience possible. The crew took care of our every need. Rooms were cleaned several times a day, and the food was excellent. Our cruise director, Michelle, was a pro at keeping things running smoothly. The captain was very skilled and clearly concerned about our safety and comfort. We had a minor medical issue arise on the trip, and the crew and tour company coordinated to take care of the situation. It was handled so well that it barely affected our trip. I would recommend this trip to anyone.”

“We travelled with Quasar Expeditions and found them to be an excellent company. The highlight was a seven day stay on the M/Y Grace. The ship was stunning in every way, delicious food, wonderful staff, excellent service. The attention to our comfort was truly amazing: from the Captain welcoming us back on board, drinks on deck, hot tub and drinking chocolate after snorkel was a great treat The guides was excellent, detailed briefing every night made sure you really knew what you were seeing and experiencing. The small groups and detailed commentary meant we really learnt a lot about the animals, plants and geology. The content was top class for anyone with prior knowledge or who had done lot of preparation. We extended our trip to drive from Guayaquil to Quito and apart from altitude sickness as we reached 14,000 feet we had a wonderful experience. The hotels they arranged were gorgeous, especially, the MaisonAlcazar. beautiful Cuenca. We had a very thoughtful and knowledgeable guide called Franco there. We would wholeheartedly recommend using this company and I tend to do so ourselves.”
