We had a genuinely terrific time. The Galapagos is an unworldly place whose beauty is truly raw. Few places offer such serene peacefulness in an environment that remains, for the most part, unadulterated by mankind. New and old life surrounds one on every island as does the brutality of survival. My family and I would spend every evening contemplating what we had experienced during the day as we appreciated our wonderful accommodations and the worldly people we met. That said, we were impressed by the age range of the passengers which allowed for various degrees of activities depending on one's abilities and desires. The Grace is beautiful and well maintained, and the staff is truly friendly and efficient. The food is plentiful and tasty. The itinerary is very well planned and gives a wonderful overview of the islands and wildlife, both on land and in the water. I also highly recommend working with Quasar. Diane did a great job organizing the trip for us, including setting up our stay in Quito and Hacienda Zuleta (which is a stunning "farm" in the Andes). My family and I look forward to taking future trips with Quasar.
