“It was a seamless and exhilarating trip from Diane in SF to the entire crew of the Evolution. The naturalists were knowledgeable and exuberant and brought the Galapagos details to us with enthusiasm. I very much appreciated the reverence for the natural world and conservation. So many unique moments! The crew was professional, attentive and very personable! My only complaint was the handling of the bar tab. I was charged for 2 drinks that I positively know that neither I nor my roommates ordered and when I questioned the charges, I was not given any resolution.”

Hello Lyn, We are delighted you had such a wonderful time aboard the Evolution and thank you for bringing the drink situation to our attention. As you know, we contacted you today and have since refunded you for the couple of drinks in question. We think someone may have written down your stateroom number by mistake when ordering at the bar, which would account for the error. We apologize for the mistake and thank you for giving us the opportunity to resolve this for you. Sincerely, ~ The Quasar Customer Service Team

“The trip was wonderful. Tasha Williams helped us organize the trip from start to finish. We were met at every step by a guide/driver or both. The Quasar smartphone app with day by day guidance is very useful and well done. The guides were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and responsive to our specific requests (special kudos to Marco Rosso, who guided us all through Patagonia and to Rabbi Ernesto Yattah who gave us great insight into the history of Buenos Aires and Argentina). When the weather forced a change in plans, it was handled smoothly so we didn’t miss anything. The hotels (gold level) were wonderful (photo is view from our room at Tierra Patagonia hotel). And as a bonus we visited Santiago and Buenos Aires, both well worth the visit. I recommend the Quasar Patagonia safari without reservation.”

“The experience was fantastic. Galapagos is a magical place and getting to know it by traveling on Quasar cruises is the best decision I have made. I have taken both cruises and stayed a few days on the Islands after the last one. Without a doubt, the cruise experience is the best way to get to know the islands and Quasar cruises are the best in Galapagos. They have the best guides and the best routes. Their guides address all the different approaches of interest: geological, geographical, historical, biological and, of course, evolutionary and they explain them clearly while you go through those wonderful landscapes and get in touch with the wild nature. Both cruises -on both, the Grace and Evolution yachts- were wonderful and exceeded all my expectations. Thank You!”

“A trip of a lifetime!!! So glad we decided to go with Quasar. From the initial steps of planning the trip, all the way to a flawless execution. Tasha was a fantastic resource in planning the safari according to our interests. The organization and attention to detail exceeded our expectations. Everything worked like a clock. We met Rodrigo at the designated time at the Tiera Patagonia hotel and were impressed by his knowledge and professionalism. The Jeep was in great condition and was very well equipped. From a satellite phone, GPS, tracker, first-aid kit and all the way to a picnic set, cooler and even water, trail mix and snacks. This trip allowed us to be completely independent and flexible, and modify our itinerary ad hoc according to our wishes bringing into consideration even factors such as weather and hiking trail conditions. We had our safari at the end of October. I defiantly recommend having it this time of year, as we avoided the summer crowds and the heat. Thank you Quasar team for an unforgettable experience!!!”

“My wife Stacie and I had a truly memorable experience with your company. We are both working professionals with a busy lifestyle and we don't often have a chance to get away for any extended period of time. Our cruise to the Galapagos islands aboard the Evolution was a magical experience. The crew was attentive and worked very hard to assure that all passenger needs were met. I was very impressed with how the senior crew members (Captain included) all worked together to ensure that things went smoothly. The Nature Guides were extremely knowledgeable and all (3) of them went out of their way to explain what we were experiencing both on land and in the water. As it happened there were a few children on our trip and again the guides and crew made it fun and an adventure for kids and adults alike. All of these things lent for an excellent relaxing vacation, and by the way, we made a few new friends along the way. The meals onboard were truly a delight the chef prepared quite a selection of wonderful meals, my only complaint-I gained a few pounds. Peter”

“This was once in a life time vacation and ended up being way above our expectations. The landscape was perfect and quasar set everything up so we could just focus on the experience with no worries. Our guide, Francisco, was amazing, so much so it felt like we were the only ones experiencing Patagonia during our stay.”

“Our trip to Patagonia was amazing! We spent time seeing wild horses, glacier hiking, and puma trekking among other activities. The team at Quasar walked us through everything and really made it feel like we were the most important part of the trip. Our guide, Francisco, was very knowledgeable and a joy to be around for the week. I can’t express enough our satisfaction with the Quasar team and the vacation experience overall.”

“The cruise and all the services provided by Quasar were superb. The attention to detail and the way they worked to meet every guest’s individual needs was exceptional. For example, I was traveling with companions who are vegan, and the chef made delicious vegan options at every meal and snack. Quasar also provided medical help for some of my companions who had problems arise—both in Quito before the cruise and on board the ship. The naturalists, the captain and the crew were thoughtful and personable. I had a phenomenal time on the vacation—it was truly a magical trip. I would definitely use Quasar again.”

“Quasar exceeded all of our expectations! Our very informative and personable guides were able to fulfill our dream to closely snorkel with penguins, sea lions and green turtles by bringing us to more out-of-the-way areas where they knew these animals were located. The chefs on the Evolution provided us with delicious, beautifully prepared meals. All the food was prepared from scratch with fresh vegetables, fish and meats. The pastry chef on board provided delectable desserts and fresh breads. We were provided with a coffee and tea bar 24/7, a sparkling clean hot tub for warm-ups after snorkeling and a very comfortable cabin, which was cleaned three times a day. The whole crew is devoted to making sure that all guests have their needs met. For example, as I was swimming to get closer to a few penguins, Carlos, one of the panga drivers, floated by to volunteer to take me out to the area in the panga (a small inflatable boat). Without his help, I would have been unable to have an experience of a lifetime: 2 curious penguins swam right up to me and I have lovely photos as a memento. Another time, our guide saw a pod of Killer Whales and, even though it was unscheduled, she organized the pangas, so that we could be up close among the whales. It was thrilling! This company is committed to bringing the beauty and excitement of the Galapagos to every guest. They go over and above expectations to do just that!”

“Very organized and very good communication which is very important when you’re traveling out of the country. I believe Quasar offered amazing excursions and when the weather didn’t cooperate, Quasar representative offered many alternatives.”

“Our expedition on The Evolution far exceeded our expectations. We selected Quasar largely based on its various awards, distinctions, and online reviews. We wanted to travel on a small vessel. We benefitted from the incredible ratio of 28 crew for 24 passengers! Three knowledgeable naturalists and a doctor were on board. We were impressed by the impeccable and friendly service from the hospitable and capable crew. The experience was more like a safari adventure than a cruise. Most days passengers could take beach walks, lava hikes, snorkel and kayak. Every day was thrilling and offered something new. We swam with penguins, octopuses, sharks, mating sea turtles, and sting rays. We saw nursing sea lions, dolphins, a Blue Whale (!), flamingos, iguanas, finches, mocking bird, blue-footed boobies, dancing albatrosses, and tortoises! We snorkeled in 6 different spots during a 7-night cruise of the Galapagos that took us to more than 8 islands. We went out in groups of 8-10 with knowledgeable naturalists on outings that were organized efficiently and thoughtfully. Crew members were at the ready with wet suits, life vests, and towels. The ship traveled long distances overnight and the captain welcomed visitors onto the bridge. In the evenings, naturalists offered lectures and gave briefings about the next day's itinerary. We requested a vegetarian/pescatarian diet which was easily accommodated. Tasty snacks and fresh-squeezed fruit juices were available between meals. Unexpected treats included a cappuccino maker and a hot tub.”
