We recently complete a week long trip to the Galapagos on the M/V Evolution. We were well cared for from the time we arrives at the Quito Airport until we returned a week later. The activities were many, generally 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. If you want to do everything there is minimal down time except in the late afternoon before the next day briefing and dinner. As a couple over 70 there were a couple of hiking activities we passed on. Snorkeling among the sea lions and turtles was a fun experience. Lots of different fish and crabs to view in the water. The sea lions were particularly playful and would even nudge you in the Ponga if they wanted to play some more. The wet suits, masks and fins provided worked well with the help from the experienced staff. Snorkeling was offered almost daily. An underwater camera is a great asset. After snorkeling, time in the hot tub warmed you up. There were times we could relax at the beach and watch the children make sandcastles or explore the length of the beach. Once back on board, the open bar was a favorite of the adults and the children. We were broken up into 3 groups and stayed together when in the Ponga. We became experts getting in and out of the Pongas (rafts). The expert guides rotated among the groups so you became familiar with all of them. The passengers were very friendly with our large group (18) as we mingled with them during meals and social time. Dining was both indoors and outdoors depending on the weather. Many different types of food were offered catering to the meat eaters and vegetarians. There is Wi-Fi available, but the band width is not great. When fewer passengers were on the ship, it was faster, but not speedy. There is no laundry service but there is a drying line with clips for all types of things at the front of the boat. But “everyone was in the same boat” Dress was very casual. Certainly recommend the trip with Quasar vs a land based trip with day trips to the islands.
