I guess my email to my friends in the US and Australia said it all after the trip. I just had the best trip ever to date. We had the best crew, best boat, best guides hand picked from the owner for our group, weather was perfect, best food, more activities to participate in, if this is the standard of a small ship tour, I have had the best the first time. Everyone within our group would use the Quasar Expeditions for another tour with each other again. Words cannot convey the amazing 7 days. And the crew is so respectful of being part of Ecuador's Galapagos Islands. It went so far above what I could have expected. It will be hard for another company to have this standard. This set of Islands needs company's like Quasar to protect the islands while giving people an experience of the beauty and wonder of Galapagos for generations to follow.
