“My mom and I were beyond impressed by Quasar’s five-star staff, crew, and guides. Many became friends for life. I look back on this trip as the most incredible, vibrant, delicious, adventurous, and stress-free travel experience of my life. From the planning stages to our expeditions throughout Ecuador and Galapagos, every need of ours was met, and every expectation was exceeded. The Guides were so knowledgeable and ensured we made the most of every possible memory-making opportunity. I'm no scientist, but I am a wildlife lover – and I now understand why Galapagos was Darwin's paradise. We saw and did things I never imagined possible, like dancing under water with sea lions, hiking across lava fields, and swimming with (harmless) white tip reef sharks. The whole team was so welcoming, and many became friends for life. I can't wait to go back and will take every opportunity to travel with Quasar. In fact, I already have a trip in the works with the people I met aboard.”

“I traveled to the Galapagos with Quasar Expeditions during the Fall and it was the best trip of my life! I went solo, but felt like I was part of the group the whole time. The people that I met on the cruise still keep in touch with me today! The two guides, Boli and Sam were very knowledgeable, but also very funny at the same time, which made the cruise even better. We all got to snorkel at least once a day and I swam with penguins, sea lions, manta rays, sea turtles, octopus, and even sharks! I will never forget this trip to the Galapagos and I hope to return one day for the other itinerary and will be doing it with Quasar Expeditions!”

“The boat, the crew, & the excursions were top notch! We “lucked out” bc the pandemic limited the number of guests so we enjoyed a 200’ boat with only 15 guests. Clean and well-maintained accommodations. Staff was always pleasant & always making sure guests were happy. The various island stops were to see creatures who were always ready for a photo-op🤣. Ck out photos as evidence that the wildlife was truly wild. 😜”

Hello Genna, Thank you for your comment. We hear you loud and clear. These days we find we must constantly update our materials, especially in the face of changing Covid entry and departure requirements. We have learned from experience that as much as we would like to abbreviate our materials, there is much that we need to leave in due to the importance to some, and often all, our Guests. That said, we are in the process of a review of how to improve our materials and make them more user friendly for all future Guests. To this end we have created a video on how our Guests can plan their trip and we planning to make another one that covers our welcome letter. Thank you for your input and for choosing Quasar. ~ The Quasar Customer Service Team

“Our trip to Galapagos with Quasar was fantastic. We loved the ship (M/Y Grace), the crew, the naturalists, and of course, the tours. We are so glad we made this trip, and Quasar made sure that all the details were perfect. They even handled our COVID testing. Since we returned home, we have been telling all our friends to book a Galapagos trip with Quasar!”

“The entire trip was well planned and beautifully executed. We felt safe and well cared for. During the trip there was a wide variety of activities and excursions. We loved snorkeling in the Galapagos. The staff was friendly and attentive and the food was excellent. We highly recommend Quasar and the beautiful Evolution yacht.”

“This was a most memorable trip! What a great way for three generations to celebrate our 50th anniversary. The Grace is an exceptional vessel, combining history and comfort in one setting, supported by an outstanding crew and staff. Our family continues to reminisce about the wildlife, both maritime and terrestrial. This is a trip everyone should strive to make, and Quasar Expeditions is the one to assure it is all you desire.”

“Our trip to Ecuador and Galapagos in January was one of the best trips my husband and I have ever taken. It had the perfect combination of beautiful scenery, very knowledgeable tour guides and interesting travel companions. We were also thankful for all the planning and organization that Quasar put into making our trip a success. The hotels, tours etc were all great. Thank you to Quasar particularly Diane for making our trip flow seamlessly. We were so lucky to get it in before Covid 19 arrived!”

“A truly excellent travel experience. The planning stage was superlative and both segments of my trip, the Galapagos and Sacha Lodge, far exceeded my expectations. The accommodations were great and the food was extraordinary. Some of the best guides that I have experienced as well. I highly recommend Quasar Expeditions.”

“Our trip of a lifetime to the Galápagos Islands on the the Evolution was spectacular. The service aboard the ship was just wonderful. There was nothing they wouldn’t do to make you feel comfortable. The food was delicious ! Anything you wanted they would accommodate you. The naturalists were just great. They knew everything and went out of their way to make sure you saw everything. It was such a special trip and we were lucky enough to have such a wonderful group aboard to share the experience with. Thank you all for a very special trip”

“Quasar planned our two week vacation to Chile for us.In preparation, they asked us in detail about our preferences for sites and experiences. They listened carefully, proposed options and implemented all our choices.We picked three areas in the country on which to focus and Quasar provided both terrific accommodations and outstanding guides who made each stop a comprehensive, inclusive exposure to the people and places. The Corona virus burst on the scene just as we were starting our trip. We ran into many other travelers whose plans were crushed by cruise or flight cancellations or requirements by their governments that they come home immediately. Our timing was extremely fortunate; the only direct impact for us was the closure of the National Parks which were to be two days of our Patagonia stay. Our guide, Trisha, took advantage of close friends she had in the area and drove us into their lands to observe, and participate, in the sheep ranching estancias of her friends. And she took us to park-adjacent areas of beautiful countryside, rivers and falls where our desired photographic opportunities abounded! We also met the people she knew and felt the warm hospitality they extended. Trisha's knowledge of the area and quickness to adapt our program to these unforeseen events meant that our trip was not substantially affected. The timing was so tight that the last two hotels we stayed in were closing the day of our departure due to the crisis. Our fortune held as our flights home were unaffected and we completed our vacation with so many wonderful experiences and memories. Quasar kept checking in to see if we felt we needed to change our plans, and supported Trisha as she adapted our schedules when we chose to stay. We would welcome another opportunity to work with Quasar on the next vacation!”

“I cannot praise Quasar enough for making our trip to the Galapagos as perfect as could be. Everything about the experience was five-stars, from first email contact through the last goodbyes at the airport. Before the trip we experienced the best in customer service and thoughtful planning, preparing us for every step of the process. Once on the trip, the naturalists were extremely knowledgeable and experienced; the crew was professional, friendly and gracious. As vegans we were feted with specially prepared dishes at every meal, an extra effort we could not have anticipated and impressed us deeply. It was the trip of a lifetime.”

“I went on the same boat last October and booked again because every single aspect of the trip exceeded my expectations. The itinerary and staff ratio led me to book the first time, but the food, accommodations, and crew made it an easy choice for trip #2. The islands are wildly different depending on the season, I definitely recommend going more than once! The guides are excellent and the small groups lend to not only seeing the animals up close but also amazing pictures. If you're into focusing on the scenery other guests are always glad to share photos (airdrop saved me this trip as I left my DLSR at home). I've done both trips solo but would also return for a 3rd (or more!) trip with a friend or my boyfriend. I'm sure a +1 would be great but as for solo trips, booking with Quasar is by far my favorite. The other guests are good fun and every detail is handled making this the most refreshing week ever. I love that there is no guest phone/wifi service on the boat, I hope that never changes. Food is excellent. I'm vegetarian and was very impressed with their attention to detail and always having separate plates for those of us with dietary requirements/preferences. I requested almond milk and on the first breakfast I was promptly brought a glass before I could even pour my coffee. Outside of the boat, Quasar's level of service is remarkable. I (half-joking) emailed Diane for a local orthodontist recommendation since I melted my retainer on day one of my week prior to the cruise, when they didn't catch me at the hotel - they called my guide en route to our excursion with an appointment scheduled that day. I was impressed but not surprised given their excellence with every other detail of my previous trip. Speaking of recs, Diane's suggestion to stay at Hacienda Jimenita the week before my cruise was also wonderful and I would definitely stay there again! I didn't even have to think of my flight, Quasar organized everything with the hotel for my transfer and pickup time. I cannot imagine visiting the Galapagos with anyone other than Quasar and have recommended them to all of the friends and coworkers that have asked about my trip.”

“Quasar Expeditions far exceeded all of our expectations for our week-long Galapagos cruise on M/Y Grace. The classically designed yacht was impeccably maintained, the suite spacious, the food delicious, and travel connections and bookings seamless. The most extraordinary part of our experience, however, were the Quasar travel consultants, the crew aboard M/Y Grace, and the two Naturalist Guides who enlightened us and helped us to share their love for the Galapagos Islands. From start to finish, the Quasar team made us feel like family. We would absolutely travel with Quasar Expeditions again in the future, in fact, we're currently deciding the dates for our next Galapagos cruise on M/Y Grace.”
