“I can not recommend Quasar Expeditions enough. The itinerary truly optimized our time in the Galapagos. From day one they were detail oriented and highly organized, yet flexible at the same time; allowing us to fully enjoy the spontaneity of nature without skipping a beat. Would definitely travel with them again! Shout out to our nature guides, Sam and Carolina! So knowledgeable and fun :)”

“Sometimes in life it’s very simple: if you’re going to the Galapagos and you can afford to do it in style, there is no other boat you should pick then the Grace. Having seen many of the other boats around the archipelago, there is no arguing that this is the most stylish, beautiful ship among them. But that’s only the hardware. The software – the crew, the service, the food and the overall experience – is not only impeccable but absolutely delightful. With only 18 guests onboard and 14 crew to man the ship and attend to your every whim, we had the best week of our life. From Captain to Cabin Boy to Naturalists – everyone was a delight to have around. The culinary creations by Chef David and his team of three were superb throughout the week and if our kids (8 and 10 years old) felt like hamburger and chips for a change it was done with a smile and a laugh. There is thus no doubt in my mind that the Grace was the best choice we’ve ever made and I see no argument in favor of a bigger ship. Maybe they are a bit more stable in rough seas, but if you’re prone to seasickness you’ll probably also get seasick on a bigger ship. A smaller ship allows more flexibility (the motto of the Grace), less time wasted getting on and off the pangas and overall a much more personal experience. A big heartfelt THANK YOU to the entire crew, Raffa and Carolina for an unforgettable experience!”

“Janice Samter - The trip itinerery was compact, saw many birds, lizards, sea lions. Many events were available as alternates to snorkling or swimming. Tour schedules were always on time. Naturalists were extremely knowledgable and always at hand.The only dissapointment was the food. There were always many choices but I found most items needing help.”

“We are so happy with our decision to use Quasar for our Galapagos vacation! From the driver picking us up at the airport to the guides on the ship, everything was perfect. The ship staff were attentive and always smiling. The guides, both on land and at sea, were informative and professional. We couldn’t be happier with our choice and have been recommending Quasar to our friends! Thank you for helping make great memories!”

“Quasar Expeditions was excellent! Diane was extremely helpful answering every question that we had regarding our trip to Quito and the Galapagos, as well as our stay on The Grace. Easy to get ahold of by phone and quick to respond to emails, as well!”

“Best Trip with Naturalists Ever. I've been to 45 countries and 50 states. I've been on 2 cruises, one river cruise and whitewater rafted the Grand Canyon. This was the best trip ever. The naturalists were all outstanding. It's my first time snorkeling where I had instruction and was taught about what I was seeing. The crew was always very friendly and helpful. The food was good. The boat was comfortable, clean and well-appointed. The cabins were larger than any boat I've been on.”

“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.”

“My children and I had a great time touring the Galapagos islands on the Evolution. The crew members were all really professional and they made our 7 nights stay onboard feel so at home. Each meal was carefully planned by the chef and despite being on the boat, everything was really delicious and fresh. The guides were exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly. They were always patient with questions my kids had and would look out for them while on excursions and snorkeling trips. The whole experience was so special and even though we had no cellphone or Wifi connection for 8 days, my 4 kids didn't complain at all cause they were having so much fun and they kept us busy each day.”

“Amazing trip and great experience at Galapagos. All was pretty good and at the end of the day it was much over our expectation. Just small things could be better (for ex. We have tried to book a scubadive during the trip, but had no answer back), but nothing really important. Congratz Quasar Expedition.”

“This one the best travel experiences we’ve had in a long time! Diane was awesome to work with. All of our travel arrangements made through Quasar were executed with precision. Our trip was flawless with no unexpected hiccups ... perfect execution. The Galapagos tour aboard Quasars’ Evolution was fabulous thanks to the excellent and friendly staff on board as well as the tireless efforts of our wonderful local Naturalists, Bolo and Lulu. The food was terrific thanks in part to guest chief David. It as a trip of a lifetime. I would not hesitate using Quasar again. If you are thinking about touring the Galápagos Islands, Quasar is the way to go!”

“Our trip in May was amazing! Every logistical detail was communicated and executed perfectly. The trip to Antisana with guide Daniel was the beginning of wonder; new birds, including Condors, and animals of the Andes. Our itinerary in the Galapagos was busy and fun, so many birds, penguins, sharks, sea lions, rays, sunsets, landscapes and on and on. On the Evolution we were treated to delicious food, friendly staff and knowledgeable guides. We also went to Sacha Lodge in the Amazon Basin. Going from ocean desert to rainforest was a big change and also a wonderful experience. Here we experienced culture in addition to parrots, macaws, monkeys, caimans, butterflys and more. These trips were all booked through Quasar with the help of our wonderful travel managers. It was the trip of a lifetime and I want to go back!”

“Just returned from our Galapagos adventure on Quasar’s Evolution. The accommodations, food, crew and guides were all wonderful and made every effort to insure every guest was able to experience the wonders of the Galapagos. Our guides were raised in the islands and their enthusiasm, knowledge and pride was obvious.”

“Visiting the Galápagos Islands had been at the top of my bucket list since studying evolution in high school. The best decision we ever made was to take this trip with Quasar on M/Y Grace. The entire experience surpassed anything I could have imagined. The Grace was a beautiful luxury yacht and the staff were of the highest standard catering for everything that would make this a trip of a lifetime. In charge of guest services was Deborah , I cannot rate her highly enough.you never had to ask twice for anything and she was absolutely lovely. Also , a special mention for our two naturalist guides, Rafael Pesantes (Rafa) and Franklin. Both were so knowledgeable and friendly . Rafa, our head guide I imagine is one of the top rated guides in The Galápagos. His knowledge of his home .. the islands themselves was incredible and he delivered this knowledge to us in a fun and highly articulate manner. I think we ‘struck gold’ with both these guides. If I had any criticism at all, it was only that maybe a second bar staff at pre-dinner drinks time might have helped. A trip of a lifetime made extraordinary by choosing Quasar. I intend to return and it will definitely be with Quasar again!”
