Dear Sarah & Gary, Thank you so much for choosing Quasar Expeditions to explore the enchanting Galapagos Islands. Since you didn't include any details on this review, we're assuming that the 4-star rating you gave the Evolution Yacht is due to the same reason you mentioned in your other company review. We sincerely apologize for the oversight regarding your birthday celebration. It sounds like there was indeed a bit of confusion during the transition between our cruise directors. We understand how special these personal touches are, especially when commemorating an occasion like a birthday, and we're sorry we missed the opportunity to celebrate with you. Your feedback is invaluable and we'll be using it to refine our processes to ensure a seamless handover in the future. It's heartening to know that despite this hiccup, you had a satisfying trip and would recommend us to your friends. We hope to welcome you aboard again, perhaps for another milestone celebration or just another adventure in the beautiful corners of South America. We would love another opportunity to make your experience truly exceptional, from start to finish. Warmest regards, ~ The Quasar Customer Service Team

“We had an excellent time on the Evolution. Our accomodations were perfect. We were upgraded to a room on the A level. The staff was highly professional, and the food was delicious. We will highly recommend this trip to our friends (and already have). Linda Peck”

“The Evolution was the perfect size-maximum of 32 guests, with 21 crew members! We were well cared for by the staff. The chef prepared all different foods that were both sourced from either the Galapagos or mainland Ecuador featuring typical dishes and spins on typical local foods. Safety was a priority while still allowing us to feel like we were on adventure!”

“In 2023, we returned to the Galapagos Islands for a two week cruise. It was absolutely fabulous once again. We visited the Galapagos with Quasar on the MV Evolution in 2017 and 2019. We have been trying to get back ever since and were finally able to make the return trip in Sept./Oct. of 2023. We were delighted to see the cruise director Steve as well as two of our favorite guides from the past, Alex and Bolo. These familiar friendly faces made our two weeks in the Galapagos a wonderful immersion in the stunning beauty of these unique islands. We are often asked why we return to the Galapagos when there are so many other places to visit in the world. For us, the answer is simple. Each time we come to the Galapagos, the experience is different and each time we come, it is better than we thought possible. On this trip, we had the wonderful opportunity to snorkel with penguins. These often shy creatures were swimming amongst us, unconcerned by our presence. It was magical and something we had never had the chance to experience before. We saw sea turtles on many of our snorkels along with marbled rays, spotted eagle rays, white tip reef sharks, octopus, the occasional manta ray and a myriad of other colourful reef fish. On one snorkel I counted 17 turtles swimming with us. It was astonishing. The shore walks were interesting and informative, and we were surrounded by unique and indigenous species like the Galapagos Hawk, Giant Tortoises, Galapagos Sea Lions, flightless cormorants, fierce visaged marine iguanas and colourful land iguanas. Back on the ship, our cabin was very luxurious and the food was varied and delicious. For anyone planning on visiting the Galapagos islands, we would absolutely recommend the MV Evolution and the Quasar team. They are simply the very best. Ali & Roger”

“My husband and I returned to the MV Evolution for the 3rd visit in 2023. We had always dreamed of seeing the Galapagos Islands and In 2017, we decided to make the once in a lifetime trip. Our travel agency, Renshaw Travel strongly recommended Quasar and their ship, MV Evolution. Our trip exceeded all our expectations and was so wonderful that we returned to the MV Evolution for a two week double cruise in 2019 and again in 2023. Each time we visit the Galagagos with the Quasar team, we are struck anew at the wonderful experience. The wildlife is absolutely stunning and the guides are incredible. We were fortunate to have Bolo and Alex in both 2019 and 2023 and found them to be charming and extremely knowledgeable. Together with Sophia, who delighted in the water, we felt they significantly added to our experience of the islands. Steve, the cruise director was also a favorite of ours as he was with us in 2017, 2019 and 2023. With his ever present smile, Steve made every wish come true. It was a truly fabulous holiday. We cannot imagine visiting the Galapagos Islands with any crew other than the Quasar MV Evolution team. They are quite simply the best. Ali & Roger”

“Our trip to Galapagos exceeded expectation! The crew and naturalists were amazing. Everyone was extremely helpful and friendly. The naturalists were very knowledgeable and it was obvious how much they loved the Galapagos and sharing the islands with us. Now that we’re home we can’t stop talking about our trip and highly recommending the Evolution! We can’t wait to go back and do the second set of islands!”
