“The crew on the Grace were excellent. Always available and always willing to lend a hand. The captain, Jorge, Leo, and Paula were especially excellent. Our cabins were clean and prepared for us to perfection. The naturalists, Hernán and Len, were the highlight of the trip. They were knowledgeable and very personable. Finally, the food was excellent. Kudos to Alejandro. The only problem at all was the poor internet service. These days, one needs to stay in touch with family members back in the USA.”

“We spent a wonderful two weeks aboard the M/V Grace in the Galapagos Islands. The crew was exceptionally friendly and accomodating to our requests, and the two naturalists gave us many insights into the flora and fauna of the islands. Being on a historic boat gave the trip a special sense of style, even though the yacht was extensively renovated in 2008-10 The food was imaginative, tasty, and beautifully plated. Snacks were available throughout the day, and coffee was available early in the morning. There were at least two excursions each day, sometimes more, on both land and sea. If you want to see penguins, the western islands are better. If you want to see albatrosses, only one island on the eastern side has these birds.”

Hello Neil, Thank you for your great feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you had a great time aboard the Grace. We want to include one minor comment in reply to your comment about penguins, and that is that guests have equal opportunities to see Galapagos Penguin colonies on all our itineraries. Visitor sites like Chinese Hat and Bartolome (found in the center of the archipelago) offer excellent interaction with Penguin colonies, including opportunities to swim with them. These islands are part of the itineraries that do not visit the Western Islands. Your comment about albatrosses is correct, though. These birds are only found on Española Island. Thanks again for your feedback and we look forward to welcoming you back on our adventures one day soon. ~ The Quasar Customer Service Team

“My husband and I spent our honeymoon in Grace and exploredthe Galapagos and had the best time ever! The staff were so friendly, warm and exceeded our expectations. The food was amazing- chef Alejandro and the pastry chef (I forgot his name) made fantastic dishes that we truly enjoyed! We loved that snacks and refreshments were served after every excursion. Renan, our server/ bartender always had a smile on his face no matter how busy he was. He is a hardworking man, very pleasant to be around and extremely genuine. Ariana was also very pleasant, charming and very fun. The cabin boy Alex really did an amazing job cleaning/ tidying up our room and created fun towel animals we enjoyed. The panga drivers were awesome!! Truly, everyone from Grace were great. Our naturalists (Roberto and Gustavo) were amazing, they were so passionate and enthusiastic. Each time we saw something new, it felt like it was their first time seeing them too because of their excitement. Some suggestions we have: eliminate Italian night. Even though food was good and the tiramisu was exceptional, people can get Italian food anywhere in their own countries. Travelers want to experience more Latin/ Ecuadorian food. Another suggestion would be to add a little bit of music sometimes when we have downtime in the yacht, esp at dinner time, even a background music for entertainment. It gets too quiet sometimes. Last suggestion- to have an option for private table dining. Even though it’s great to socialize and meet people , sometimes you just want do dine with your significant other and don’t feel like entertaining people every single time. Thank you for such an amazing experience we won’t forget. We highly recommend Grace and hope to be back in the future…”
