I am a person who travels a LOT, both for work as well as pleasure and I can honestly say this was one of the best trips I have ever taken. There is literally nothing I would change. Everything about Quasar, from the booking process through the trip itself was handled absolutely perfectly. Our journey included a land portion in Ecuador followed by a cruise to the Galapagos. The ship was the perfect size - it felt very personal, but never like you couldn't be independent. The crew was exceptional. For me a highlight was the guides - I'm sure they have done it all a thousand times, yet somehow they made very hike, snorkel, etc seem fresh and engaging. If you (like me) have always dreamed about a trip to see Darwin's inspiration, trust your journey to Quasar and you will return home with all the magic intact.
