“We had an incredible time on The Evolution! We had the privilege of chartering the ship and every detail could not have been more perfect. The staff was incredibly thoughtful and attentive. They went above and beyond to make our adventure exceptional. The on board naturalists and boating staff made everyone in our large group feel incredibly safe, which is priceless. Ruben, the cruise director, matched the vibe of our group and showed up every day more enthusiastic than the last. Captain Victor is not only a fabulous captain, but an incredible human who is passionate about conservation of the beautiful islands. We feel so lucky to have experienced The Galápagos with The Evolution and it's incredible staff. Now, the Galápagos Islands are just too magical to truly put into words. The sheer quantity of natural, unforced, respectful wildlife encounters will blow your mind. Baby sea lions, unique birds (hello Albatross!), sharks, rays, marine iguanas, flightless commorants, and so much more.”

“A trip of a lifetime! Nothing was too much trouble for the crew to make the whole experience something we will remember forever. The meals were unbelievable, how the chefs created these on board is a mystery. The wildlife conspired with the Quasar team to create some fabulous memories, a breaching humpback whale on the first morning, a superpod of dolphins escorting the ship, albatrosses in courtship dances and octopi, penguins, sea lions, iguanas, pelicans, boobies and many, many more all strutting their stuff. Two more humpback whales swam towards the Evolution on the final evening, displaying their flukes as if waving farewell . If you are thinking of taking the trip, stop thinking, just go!”

“The Evolution was a perfect ship for our Galapagos adventure. The cabins and public areas were very spacious and comfortable and the crew looked after our every need, keeping everywhere spotless and providing delicious meals using fresh local produce. Our itinerary took us to a fabulous selection of islands where our brilliant naturalist guides introduced us to an amazing array of landscapes, flora and fauna. Every island had its own characteristics which set it apart from the others and the snorkelling sites visited also exposed us to different underwater environments, each habitat attracting different sea creatures. Overall our Evolution experience was wonderful and we would recommend it wholeheartedly.”

“This trip exceeded my expectations, I now have memories that are on the top of my list of best places visited, and things I have seen. The Quasar team, from Diane while booking Evolution as well as our extended trip to the Amazon, to all the others on board; Naturalists (Christina, Diego & Jamie) Cruise Director (Rueben), our Panga Drivers and Cabin Stewards were all the very the best; professional and personable. Thanks to all for a very special experience.”

“We had an amazing holiday on board the Evolution. The crew were all extremely friendly and helpful. They were efficient and worked incredibly hard. They even went the extra mile to make our stay memorable, like folding the towels into various animal shapes and putting chocolates as eyes. The food was plentiful and of a very high quality. It was delicious. We got to try some local dishes. There was always teas, coffees and snacks available. The public areas such as the lounge, bar, dining room and foredeck, gave plenty of room and were comfortable. The cabin was also comfortable. Safety was a high priority, especcially when moving from The Evolution to the Pangas and back again. The panga drivers were exceptional. The guides, naturalists, were extremely knowledgable and informative. They were friendly and approachable. All in all, I could not fault my experience on board, or during the activities away from the boat. I highly recommend the tour.”
