My mom and I were beyond impressed by Quasar’s five-star staff, crew, and guides. Many became friends for life. I look back on this trip as the most incredible, vibrant, delicious, adventurous, and stress-free travel experience of my life. From the planning stages to our expeditions throughout Ecuador and Galapagos, every need of ours was met, and every expectation was exceeded. The Guides were so knowledgeable and ensured we made the most of every possible memory-making opportunity. I'm no scientist, but I am a wildlife lover – and I now understand why Galapagos was Darwin's paradise. We saw and did things I never imagined possible, like dancing under water with sea lions, hiking across lava fields, and swimming with (harmless) white tip reef sharks. The whole team was so welcoming, and many became friends for life. I can't wait to go back and will take every opportunity to travel with Quasar. In fact, I already have a trip in the works with the people I met aboard.
