“Our self-guided safari tour was amazing and so much fun. The planning with Quasar was smooth, informative and exciting and the execution even better. We picked the right hikes, excursions and add- ons and every day was an outstanding adventure. Patagonia throughout Chile and Argentina was more beautiful than one can imagine. I end with how I started-so much fun and adventure. A trip of a lifetime.”

“Most exciting trip ever! Impeccable service, the yacht was beautiful, the food was outstanding. Galapagos is a must see. The sea lions, the blue footed boobies. You will never find another tour that can top this one in any way! Will hope to take future trips with Quasar again. Thanks Diane for making it perfect.”

“Beyond expectations! The beautiful boat, the delicious food, the incredible organization-- that was just the beginning. The islands themselves were way beyond anything we could have hoped to experience. But the most exceptional thing about Quasar, were the people-- the staff, the guides, the chefs, everyone was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, fun, interesting. They made the trip unforgetable. And we never will.”

“My recent Quasar tour of the Galapagos Islands was a truly memorable experience and probably the best trip I have ever taken! Not only was the scenery spectacular and the weather perfect, but the Quasar naturalists, chefs and took incredble care of all the guests. The schedule was perfectly planned with daily activities that included island hikes, intriguing explanations of the animals and vegetation unique to each island, a variety of snorkling venues, and a panga cruise with hundreds of dolphins in all directions. The snacks and food were incredible and ranged from delicate corn soufle to freshly caught grouper from the local fisherman - each meal was different and absolutely delicious. My recommendation - pland your trip ASAP!”

“Thank you to Tasha, Natalie, and all the others for your guidance, coordination, and all of your efforts in making this southern Patagonia trip a wonderful experience for us. Your help with the initial planning was invaluable as were your reminders of payments due. The final itinerary that you provided was comprehensive and very informative, and being able to view it through your website and through TravelKey was really helpful. Daniela, our guide in Torres del Paine, could not have been better. She was pleasant, punctual, accommodating, extremely knowledgeable and a real delight to travel with. Our accommodations in Torres del Paine and in Punta Arenas and Puerto Natales were great. There was a little confusion on our first evening at the Lago Grey Hotel restaurant regarding what was included with our stay there, but the staff remedied that and took good care of us. All of the transfers that you arranged were excellent and on time. Francesca, who accompanied us from Punta Arenas to Puerto Natales and back provided us with a lot of history and local knowledge. She was very pleasant, accommodating and helpful with our logistics. Thank you also for coordinating the second part of our trip, on the Stella Australis. It made it very easy for us that Quasar handled the reservations, ticketing and payments for that. A nice final touch was the note from Rodrigo about the Carbon Fund partnership and Reforest Patagonia. It was uplifting to hear that Quasar partners with those organizations. Our travel companions had used Quasar before, but this was our first experience with them, and it was truly exceptional! Thanks to you and your colleagues for all of your help in making this a very special, enjoyable and memorable trip for us.”

“We boarded the Evolution 2.27.24 and a whole new world opened to us. From aft to stern & beyond, every detail was planned and seamless. Much excitement (dare I say some challenges) ensued. The staff from Captain to our housekeepers & towel people-makers, we felt safe and cared for, any request or need was met. Our fellow adventurers were a delightful, eclectic bunch. While all were from US, we had a good mix of seasoned hikers, athletes and photographers and enough "just here to see and do"-ers that we felt comfortable. Many fascinating stories over the nautical miles both aboard the Evolution and in our pangas. We were "homesick" for our peeps for a few days after we left them in Guayaqui to finish our trip in Lima Peru. Orcacs, sea turtles, iguanas, blue booted boobies, tortoise, frigates, flightless comorants, sharks (swimming among us as we snorkeled, not impressed bu us), pink lacy crabs, oyster catchers, sea stars and so many more appeared throughout our 8 days asea. Plus the Evolution crew bested the Grace crew in a Futbol match 1/2 way through our trip - much excitement. With the help of Diane and Paul Schicke, we spent 4 days at the Le Selva Eco Lodge on the Napo River before we joined the Galapagos trip. It's become one of our biggest surprises and delights. It was an excellent orientation to following the animals day and behaviors, sharpening our observation and listening skills; keeping quiet and simply "being" in the jungle. Again every staff member was professional, engaging and super willing to accommodate any request with a smile. Would strongly recommend this intimate, just-right wilderness adventure in the rain forest. Our canoe occupants from Le Selva were laughing and retelling our stories on the 2.5 hr motorized canoe ride back to Coca airport. Other lodges' guests were on their mobile devices, appearing bored!! This trip was recommended by friends 1 year ago to us and we will continue to recommend this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you Quasar.”

“Our Quasar vacation surpassed our expectations. We had an amazing time and had such unique experiences. We planned out the trip with assistance from the Quasar staff, and their recommendations were spot on. Starting with the Hotel Patio Andaluz - in the heart of Quito's "old city." With news reports, we were wondering how safe we might feel. But I can honestly say we felt very safe and were totally comfortable in the city. The hotel was walkable to many sites and restaurants. We also took advantage of a Quasar organized personal guided tour to Otavallo - well worth the day trip and quite different from the city with its highlands terrain, indigenous artisans and a street market. Going through customs and the various transfers was a breeze, with Quasar support. The Galapagos portion of the trip - that is why we came to Ecuador after all - was truly a once in a lifetime experience. So many animals - from orcas right beside our panga, to thousands of blue footed boobies and pelicans, to snorkeling with sea lions, penguins, sea turtles, schools of fish, marine iguanas, and then being up close and personal on land with giant land tortoises, as well as the unique geologic formations that make up each island.”
