“This trip was everything we expected and more. The ship is fabulous and even though we were on the C deck, the C2 cabin was larger than we expected based on the pictures. There's ample closet and shelf storage. Best of all the bathroom is great and roomy. The crew is superb and the two naturalists we had were very easy going, very knowledgeable, spotted things easily and spoke excellent English. The food was equally good and probably too much of it LOL. Finally, Dianne our contact person was extremely responsive and helpful even with non-Grace associated questions. We will definitely be taking another trip aboard to do the other itineraries.”

“The whole Quasar team and experience were phenomenal. From my first inquiries about the trip to Diane through our stay in Quito where they were by our side step by step during a difficult time and while onboard the magnificent Yacht. It’s the first time my husbands diet requests were actually met during an expedition allowing him to fully enjoy the experience. Overall a wonderful memory we will cherish. Our gratitude goes out to everyone involved.”

“It was an excellent trip!!! The trip was SPECTACULAR!!! The yacht is gorgeous. The food was excellent on the yacht and the crew was extremely helpful, knowledgable, and fun. There were two naturalist guides which showed us all of the animals and plants on the islands. It was the BEST trip I have ever been on!! Five out of Five! If you have the chance to go don't miss out---GO! You will never regret being on the Princess Grace!”

“Our trip with Quasar to Ecuador and the Galapagos was one of the highlights of our entire lives. You just can't put a price on an experience that is this amazing. We had read all about the Galapagos and about Ecuador, we had watched plenty of documentaries, but nothing could prepare us for what this country and its islands have to offer. The people behind our trip where phenomenal. We felt taken care of every step of the way. I give this experience 6/5 stars.”

“The Galapagos cruise on the Evolution was everything you could want - penguins, land and sea iguanas, blue footed boobies, cormorants, albatross, sea lions, turtles, tortoises, sharks, rays, dolphins, fishes and more. The guides were knowledgeable, dedicated, and patient - they spent extra time to allow guests the opportunity to explore and take advantage of what nature brought. The Ecuadorian Amazon stay with Sacha Lodge similarly was incredible. Guides took time to show beauty of the rainforest. Saw howler monkeys, squirrel monkey, capuchins, hoartzins (stinky turkeys), toucans, parrots, caymans, sloth, piranhas, colorful butterflys and more. Perfect to have done the Amazon trip before Galapagos to truely appreciate how animals were unafraid of human on Galapagos.”

“Quasar provided me with an experience of a lifetime. I was immediately enveloped by culture, food, new friends and a lifetime of memories. They arranged everything and covered every minute detail of my stay. My trip began in Quito with a quick overnight at the Eurobuilding (exquisite accommodations), then onto the Amazon and the Sacha Lodge, where I experienced first hand what it was like to live amongst a local tribe and learned just how fragile and important the Amazon jungle is to planet Earth. A quick stop in Quito with a professional tour guide and chocolate tasting at Casa Gangotena, all arranged by the Quasar staff. The Hotel / home is palatial yet homey. The Hotel and staff are 5 star. Our drivers were all on time, extremely helpful and went out of their way to make sure our experience was top notch. We flew from Quito via Guayaquil to the Galapagos where we arrived to our private Yacht "The Grace", she is as exquisite as all the pictures and reviews said she would be, and her legacy only enhances her beauty. Christian, the hotel manager, and his staff were always on point with everything that we needed or wanted. My accommodations were beyond luxurious with an added touch of wildlife towel decor nightly!! Javier, our bartender, always had a smile and always on point with his suggestions!! Our guides Walter and Hernan were top notch. They provided us with nonstop entertainment and experiences that kept exceeding our expectations. Their knowledge of flora, fauna, local culture and myths added to the mystery of the Galapagos. I was not ready to leave the Galapagos by any means and am already to return for the alternate excursion to the other side of the Galapagos. Swimming with penguins and sea lions though definitely on my bucket list; I really want to swim with those Hammerheads!! By far the hardest trip to come home from as I was left wanting more and more. As difficult as it was to return to reality after spending two weeks being pampered, experiencing new cultures with the most hospitable people ever, I have taken home the most amazing memories, made life long friendships and have a new appreciation for Mother Nature and all her glory.”

“This was such an unforgettable trip on the Evolution and much needed as my first international trip during covid times. The staff was so professional and bent over backwards to make sure everything was clean and organized so we did not have a care in the world except to enjoy the galapagos and the cruise. Ceasar with the drinks, the very knowledgeable and friendly guides Bolo, Roberto and Monica, the staff Eli, Kevin, panga drivers, boat crew, that sanitized and especially the cabin elves that cleaned our room 10x a day, the variety of food, good and clean equipment, everything was above and beyond expectations. And the animals.. Wow, the access and unspoiled underwater adventures was just beyond comparison! Thank you Quasar for planning and organizing such a stress-free trip that we all loved and enjoyed! We also loved that Dr Diana was on board since our friend forgot her inhaler and she was able to get one, and eliminated all her stress! I think the most enjoyable was the friendships and respect / trust of everyone on the boat, too! Thank you!”

“The Quasar MV Grace trip through the Galapagos Islands was an event of a lifetime. Captain Jorge, Christian the boat manager, Javier the famous mixologist, the Chefs, the two naturalists, Walter and Hernan, and every other crew member provided extraordinary service to all the guests. Every day was filled with new adventures: swimming with sea lions and penguins, seeing exotic birds and other animals, hiking through the magnificent landscape on the islands. There was no down time. I could not rate the Quasar experience any higher.”

“The cruise was great and the crew was fantastic making certain we were physically able to enjoy the activities (we are older ). The ground transportation was very poorly organized. We had to get our own transportation to the airport from the hotel.”

Hello Jackie, Thank you for your review and we are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your cruise in the Galapagos with Quasar. We are sorry to hear about the transportation issue that you experienced with the Wyndham hotel in Guayaquil. This was a free shuttle provided by the hotel where you were staying and it appears that the first shuttle was full and therefore left before you arrived. This does not happen often, but it’s our understanding that the next shuttle came about 10 minutes later but you decided to take your own transportation to the airport. We've contacted the hotel about the issue so that they do a better job of explaining the frequency of the shuttles to all guests, and please remember that we also provide all our guests with a 24/7 emergency contact number that they can call anytime if they need assistance. Thank you again for choosing Quasar and please feel free to contact us directly if you have further questions or concerns at customerservice@quasarex.com. Sincerely, ~ The Quasar Customer Service Team

“Absolutely wonderful. Very diverse group of guests ranging in age from 8 to 80 years old. Somehow the naturalists and crew succeeded including everyone and making the trip special for all. Amazing place. Exceptionally well organized. Great opportunities for viewing the wildlife without intruding on their worlds. Naturalists extremely knowledgeable, skilled and personable. Crew the same. Wonderful accommodation. Delicious food. Interesting briefings. Perfect blend of land excursions, panga rides, kayaking and snorkeling. Everything was great even down to the Covid-19 testing prior to our flights back to mainland Ecuador and the US. I cannot say enough good things about the trip and the people involved. I am recommending Quasar and "Evolution" to everyone and have already booked another holiday with your group. Thank you for an unforgettable vacation.”
