“Quasar did an amazing job putting together the perfect trip to Patagonia. The resorts, Quasar hosts and guides, and daily excursions were perfectly mapped out for us. I would highly recommend Quasar to anyone that is looking at one of their trips to South America. We will definitely book another trip with Quasar in the next few years.”

“Our experience exceeded expectations. Spending each day with the Quasar Naturalists snorkeling, hiking and kayaking was a beautiful experience. Alex, Diego and Hernan were exceptional, all were extremely knowledgeable and attentive. Alex went above and beyond with his kind offers to help and made sure we had a great time. The kitchen, bar, front desk, and suite attendants were all excellent. Caesar and Aldo took terrific care of us. The Quito and Galapagos excursions were unique & well organized .”

“How often can a person truthfully say that their expectations about something were exceeded? Such is the case with our Quasar Expedition on The Grace to the Galapagos. Everything from the honest insight provided by Diane and Paul during the booking process, to the ease with which practical matters were addressed (from hotel bookings to transportation, and guide recommendations in Ecuador), all went smoothly. The Galapagos trip itself was truly once-in-a-lifetime. We were blessed with great weather and fantastic traveling companions (something which Quasar obviously has no control over) but the experience was made all the more enjoyable by our friendly & knowledgeable guides and crew members. The food was excellent, the accommodations wonderful (although I wish we could have swung the Grace Kelly Suite - ha ha) and all the crew on board Grace made us feel like truly welcome guests. On land and in the water, we saw and experienced everything we could have hoped for! Thank-you for the trip of a lifetime!”

“Quasar is an exceptional organization. My trip to Patagonia was superb. Excellent accommodations, the guides were experts on the region and the activities we were doing, and our planner was gracious with our many questions and travel dilemmas that arose. I used Quasar to plan the Patagonia trip and then, two weeks later, a trip to the Galapagos Islands. I had to cancel the latter when I became ill with COVID in Buenos Aires during the week between the two trips. Even thought they didn't plan my Buenos Aires trip, they found a hotel for me to stay in for my quarantine period and did whatever they could for me through their 24/7 hotline when problems arose with returning home. I will rebook my Galapagos trip with Quasar without question and plan to include one or two additional family members this time. My deep gratitude to the Quasar teams! And I'll post the 35+ pound Chinook Salmon that I caught on Rio Serrano with a wonderfully patient and enthusiastic guide!”

“We did a trip with Quasar Expeditions to Patagonia for our honeymoon. We had an incredible time and would definitely recommend using Quasar for anyone going to Patagonia. It was so nice to not have to worry about logistics and to have everything taken care of for us. The hotels were incredible, and the food was delicious.”

“The Overland Safari in Patagonia was fantastic. Having a personal guide and jeep allowed the journey to adjust to your needs and interests. Victor was fabulous and all the accommodations were 5-star quality.”

“We felt very taken care of from our information gathering to booking, to mainland arrangements to the trip and back. Quasar seamlessly recovered an ipad that we accidentally left in a Quito hotel and had to delivered to us on our return to Quito. We also booked mainland tours of Colonial Quito and Otavalo with wonderful guide, Miguel through Quasar that were also excellent. Diane Schicke was most helpful and responsive in the trip planning process and knowledgeable in making recommendations for hotels.”

“Wonderful trip. Great on board crew and guides. We enjoyed and learned a lot on this ship. 32 people is perfect size. The itinerary was well thought out and perfect. We did a lot but felt tired.”

“This was our third Galapagos tour with Quasar. One with the Alta and two with the Grace. All three where amazing. Crews and guides where all excelent and made our trips with our grandchildren unforgetable. There is only one issue you have to review. Internet only once in seven days for 25 minutes for free is a minus. You offer a 5 star service and Internet should be available at least one hour every day free. Not to play games or fool around but to contact family and also several people on the boat still work or have patients and need to contact or be contacted. Thanks again and regards, Andres Meyer and Family”

“There are experiences, then there are Experiences! This expedition falls under the latter. From start to finish it just kept getting better through the immersive excursions which lead us to discover unique wildlife and landscapes en route.”

“Incredible experience! The crew on the boat was top notch. The food was exceptional everyday. Our bartender Aldo made the trip special. Our guide Bolo was kind, informative and engaging. There are others too, but can't recall everyone's name.”

“Trip of a lifetime aboard the Grace in January 2023, with my best friend and 12 of my now new best friends! Stayed in cabin A3, which was completely removed from engine and anchor noise, just the white noise of the air conditioning and the rocking of the sea to lull us to sleep. Didn't need help with that, as we were exhausted at the end of every day from the adventuring! The crew was top-notch, attentive and friendly and happy to help with everything we needed (we didn't need much). They were all happy to help me practice my Spanish, but when words failed I was able to speak English with everyone. Ariana, Renan, David, Alejandro and Washington kept us well-fed, happily bedded and hydrated for all of our activities. Captain Israel and his team kept the boat in tip-top shape and on schedule, while our pangeros ferried us safely to every on-island and snorkeling/kayaking adventure. Naturalist guides Cornelia and Monica were as knowledgeable as I could have hoped for, about the island geology, wildlife biology, and history of these beautiful islands, plus happy and energetic and the loveliest women I have ever met. I would not have traded anything to be on a larger boat, the Grace was the perfect size: 16 guests meant enough people for a new seating arrangement at every meal, but small enough that we were never more than eight in a group when hiking, snorkeling, or booby-viewing. Quasar's luxury touches like fresh fruit juice and pastries after every morning excursion, clean and well-kept wetsuits and snorkel gear, towels to help keep bums and feet dry in the pangas and on the beach, and 3x per day room tidying made us feel like Princess Grace herself. I would have gained 20 pounds from all of the delicious, fresh, locally inspired food if it weren't for all of the early rising and nonstop action! This boat had five guests in their 20's and 30's, four people in their 50's, and five in their 60's. Everyone seemed to be able to enjoy exactly the right amount of activity for their comfort level, and everyone from the hardcore birders/photographers to the relaxed turtle-gazers had a wonderful adventure. (I would describe myself as an adventurous, hardcore wildlife and nature enthusiast, biologist by training, and this trip lived up to my expectations in every way). I booked my own flights to and from Ecuador, as well as my accommodations and airport transfers in Quito. But a local Quasar representative contacted me at the hotel the day before our flight to the islands, confirming our airport travel arrangements and flight times and assuring me that we would be greeted at the Quito airport to begin our "last mile" journey to the islands. Five stars all around, A plus, highly recommend.”

“Everything on our Galapagos cruise on the Evolution was amazing. I expected giant tortoises and blue-footed boobies. But I did not expect snorkeling with penguins, sea lions, and sea turtles. It was all made possible by the amazing crew. Thank you.”

“Quasar offered the best tours of the Galapagos, both an eastern route and a western one; and the best crew to passenger ratios. The crew on our tour, which had 16 passengers, totaled 17 crew (counting 2 naturalist guides and 2 crew in training). The support was just awesome and we could just enjoy the wildlife and scenery.”

“The entire Quasar staff continually went above and beyond to provide a stellar experience. The level of care and professionalism, coupled with an approachable demeanor, was impressive. We initially weren't sure how we'd feel being on a boat with a group of people, and now we're thinking about more adventures with Quasar. Strongly recommend!”
