Quite honestly hard to put into words (or into a review). You must travel with Quasar to experience it for yourself! Our cruise in the Galapagos on the Evolution was truly the trip of a lifetime and that would not have been possible without the tremendous travel agents, crew, and staff ensuring smooth sailing (literally & figuratively) as well as the guides/naturalists that were selected for the boat. The guides were so incredibly passionate about what they do and they worked endlessly to ensure we saw as much as we possibly could on each excursion and more! I consider myself lucky to have been able to travel with all these wonderful people who made the experience the best I’ve ever had. My expectations were exceeded in all areas!

The experience with Quasar Expeditions aboard the Evolution is simply fantastic! My expectations were high as I had researched previously and they exceeded them by far. The first thing I want to highlight is the organization, there is nothing that is not covered by each and every one of the Quasar staff at every stage of the trip. From the airport, to the yacht, to the guides, everything is perfectly synchronized. Secondly, I would like to highlight the experience on board. The crew takes care of even the smallest detail, when we came back from snorkeling and the water was a bit chilly, they waited for us on the yacht with hot chocolate and this is barely a detail. We had the opportunity to go on tours with each one of the guides and it is incredible the level of knowledge and experience they have no matter where they are on the itinerary. You can tell they have many years of experience and know the islands from A to Z. These 7 days aboard the Evolution have been the best vacation I have had in a long time. Congratulations, keep it up!

Our trip to the Galapagos on Quasar's Evolution was simply amazing! It far exceeded my expectations: top-notch service (20 crew to 30 guests); perfectly planned daily itineraries led by knowledgeable and good-humored guides; a beautiful and intimate boat; and the crew themselves, always smiling, willing to do anything for you and really seemed to enjoy their jobs. Of course, the nature and wildlife are the true stars of the show, but you cannot beat seeing it the Quasar way!

Everything about this trip exceeded our expectations! The ship Evolution, the amazing friendly and knowledgeable staff, and the islands themselves all came together for the adventure of a life time! We swam with sea turtles, sea lions, penguins, sea iguanas, rays, sharks and thousands and thousands of fish in a variety of shapes and colors. On land we got up close views of birds too numerous to mention. We even took a detour and went to the currently flowing wolf volcano. Epic stuff!!! If you are researching how to best see the Galapagos you have found it!!!

Traveling with Quasar was phenomenal. The trip itinerary, communication, coordination, land and water guides, accommodations, private bus service and of course Yacht Grace and the Galapagos! Nothing could have been better! A+++++

My cruise on the Evolution was truly the trip of a lifetime. While the true star of the show was the indescribably beautiful Galapagos and the wildlife, Quasar really made the experience special. While it was a small ship experience (an absolute must for the Galapagos), it felt like you had the amenities of a small town--5-star dining, housekeeping, medical, naturalist guides, bridge crew, etc. Not only was everybody so helpful, they were a delight to interact with. The naturalist guides were simply the best of the best--super-knowledgeable and very personable. I learned a lot and felt like I got individual attention from all the staff. The staff on land was just as great. From the time of booking, Quasar helped me figure out what kind of trip I wanted and were able to arrange not just the cruise, but also mainland excursions. Their drivers, tour guides, and airport helpers really gave me the opportunity to focus on having a wonderful time in Ecuador and spend less time on worrying about my trip. Do yourself a favor and invest in your Galapagos experience and go with Quasar. When I go back, you better believe I'll be going back with Quasar.

Our group just returned from a charter on The Grace and it was truly a trip of a lifetime! The crew of The Grace could not have been more accommodating to our every need. The food was first-rate; the service was impeccable; and they were just a fun group to spend a week with. The naturalists were smart, attentive and passionate - cannot imagine two individuals who could have cared more for their Galapagos home or who could have made every single thing about the Galapagos more fascinating. And The Grace was a beautiful boat. As our group has said over and over - It was just Perfect in every way! Thanks Quasar!

We brought our two boys ages 10 and 8 with us on our excursion to the Galapagos. I was unsure how they would manage on a boat for seven days. It wasn't a problem at all. The Quasar staff went above and beyond to ensure our entire family had a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. The Chef cooked dinner early for the kids on the boat, and many staff joined in on their card games in the evenings. Cristina was wonderful assisting my kids with their snorkeling gear. The staff are so attuned to the needs of their guests, old and young! Everything is take care of for you. All that is left is for you to enjoy the magic of the Galapagos.

My wife and I had the most fantastic, memorable time on our trip to Quito and the Galapagos. The Evolution experience was perfect and exceeded expectations. The crew was professional, accessible, friendly and made sure that everyone was cared for and having the best time. Our cabin was spacious and comfortable. The food was delicious, especially the Ecuadorian cuisine. The naturalists were extremely knowledgeable and made sure that we all had fun. The open sea was an adventure and the wildlife, birds, and terrain of each island was exquisite. Last but not least we really enjoyed getting to know the other guests and felt that we had left the trip with some new friends.

We took the 8 day East Galapagos tour on the Evolution and our expectations were well exceeded. It was clear from the start that the staff were a well oiled machine that have gone through this process several times. Everything was so smooth. We loved the size and layout of the Evolution. Everyone was very personable and you could that they love what they do and were excided to share it with you. It will be hard to top this cruise!

Our usual trips are off the trail and certainly not guided. I was surprised to discover how unobtrusive and yet accessible the naturalist guides on the Evolution were. We were given access to a bounty of flora and fauna and always with these outstanding experts to help us to understand what we were experiencing. I will say I grew to love the great meals and comfortable beds and may now have been ruined, so to speak. But I would do it again in a heartbeat. I got tired of saying "Wow".

January 2023 aboard the Grace. My son called it the best vacation ever. Food was excellent, staff gracious, and the naturalists were amazing. The Panga drivers should be in the movies they are so skillful.

I have been on both the Grace and Evolution Yachts this year. While both provide a different focus with different itinerary they both excel in the food and beverage experience and onboard experiences. One thing is for sure though no matter which yacht or which itinerary, go with Quasar. They have DiBe a fabulous job for us every time and never disappoint.

We took a 7 day cruise on the Expedition... and it was absolutely fabulous! Every aspect of the experience was terrific, starting with the reservations, the planning, the preparation. They provided very detailed packing and preparation support. And from the first minute of the experience, everything was top notch. All of the staff was equally professional and service oriented. The naturalist guides were sooo fun and informational. We have raved about the entire experience and recommended Quasar to several of our friends. You can't go wrong with them.

Quasar Expeditions was amazing. I believe we had the best cabin on the ship A-1. The crew was very knowledgeable. I learnt so much about the Galapagos. They are fascinating islands for sure. Diane who arranged everything was fantastic. There was not one glitch in all our planning. Loved the snorkleing and all the Panga rides. The food was top notch. Always accommodating with any of our requests. Polite staff. Cleanliness of the yacht was great. The took care of our room perfectly. I would say this was an Aplus cruise. Thank you Margie S.
