“We’ve been fortunate to travel with Quasar to Galapagos in 2016 and Patagonia this October 2023. Our decision to choose Quasar again was based on our incredible previous experiences. You get what you pay for with Quasar. They are into the details and the level of service is top-notch! From booking your trip, selecting an itinerary, prompt responses. and even an amazing follow-up after your trip! The staff was great, and all our guides had incredible knowledge and knew how to make the trips adventurous & fun as well! The ships in Galapagos are unique & beautiful, and the accommodations in Patagonia will spoil you.”

“We were awed by the Galápagos Islands! It was definitely one of our most memorable destinations. Highlights were the snorkeling activities and the giant tortoises! I was a little disappointed that as this trip was scheduled to celebrate my birthday, the crew didn’t announce it to our group(as they had done for two others earlier in the week). Perhaps there was some confusion as the outgoing cruise director was letting the cruise director the following week take over some of his duties. Just wanted to mention the omission. Other than that, we were very satisfied with the trip and have recommended Quasar to our friends.”

Dear Sarah & Gary, Thank you so much for your review and for choosing Quasar Expeditions to explore the enchanting Galapagos Islands. We're thrilled to hear that you were captivated by the activities and the magical wildlife on the Islands. These experiences are indeed what make the Galapagos an unforgettable destination. We sincerely apologize for the oversight regarding your birthday celebration. It sounds like there was indeed a bit of confusion during the transition between our cruise directors. We understand how special these personal touches are, especially when commemorating an occasion like a birthday, and we're sorry we missed the opportunity to celebrate with you. Your feedback is invaluable and we'll be using it to refine our processes to ensure a seamless handover in the future. It's heartening to know that despite this hiccup, you had a satisfying trip and would recommend us to your friends. We hope to welcome you aboard again, perhaps for another milestone celebration or just another adventure in the beautiful corners of South America. We would love another opportunity to make your experience truly exceptional, from start to finish. Warmest regards, ~ The Quasar Customer Service Team

“Quasar is a class act with tremendous staff, excellent food, wonderful accommodations. The excursions were amazing: hiking, snorkeling and/or kayaking, typically at least 2 out of 3 activities each day. The wildlife was absolutely unforgettable. The staff was super helpful before, during, and after our trip to make sure all details were covered.”

“The cruise was wonderful. The snorkeling opportunities were exceptional and I liked that others could go along in the boat even if they chose not to snorkel. The food was more exceptional than I even anticipated. Having a different local seafood option every night was awesome! I did anticipate more hiking opportunities. I would have liked to explore the islands more, rather than just a beach. The crew did a great job with boat and room maintenance and were always very helpful. I do feel that an altered schedule would have been helpful. Having dinner around 6 would allow people to choose options after dinner: naturalist presentation, games and socializing, quiet time in our room. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!”

“Everything about this trip was amazing from the location to the crew to the other passengers. The mix of activities and relaxing time was perfect, even with my dietary restrictions the food was exceptional. If you can only afford 1 trip like this in your lifetime- this is the trip to take. My daughter and I will cherish our memories for years to come.”

“Great cruise and crew. The only criticisms relate to Wi-Fi and the bar, both of which (particularly Wi-Fi) should be included in the price.”

“We are very happy with our choice of Quasar. We traveled on the 32-passenger Evolution. Any trip to the Galapagos is likely to be awe-inspiring but Quasar made our trip amazing. Both pre-trip and during our time in the Galapagos, everyone at Quasar was attentive to details and our specific interests and needs. The small group numbers allowed for a better appreciation of the natural surroundings and abundant wildlife. Our guides were fantastic both because of their in-depth knowledge of the flora and fauna as well as because of their ability to share that knowledge. There were several special experiences but one really fun impromptu experience was when a large pod of dolphins was seen by the crew. They got us quickly into the pangas and took us right into the middle of the pod.”

“My mom and I took a trip with Quasar on the Evolution and everything from the pre-trip information, mainland travel arrangements, staff, crew, onboard experience, fellow passengers, and outstanding naturalists to the unforgettable excursions, wildlife and nature - exceeded all expectations! We didn’t want it to end and went home with memories that will last a lifetime. I recommend Quasar without hesitation and wish we had stayed for a second week!”

“Our trip to the Galapagos with Quasar was beyond expectations. Besides the experience with hikes and snorkeling - seeing sea lions, tortoises, penguins, sea turtles, marine iguanas, land iguanas, boobies and dolphins - the experience on the Evolution was near perfect. The staff and guides were very attentive to everyone's needs and served always with a smile. We also appreciated the benefits of being a smaller boat with a smaller group - the staff and guides were able to flex the itinerary quickly as wildlife opportunities presented themselves. It was a great experience and highly recommended!”

“Oh, what a wonderful time we had on the Evolution while touring the Galapagos Islands! The naturalists -- Bolo, Alex and Sophia -- were helpful, informative and mindful of everyone in their respective groups. The ship staff made up our spacious stateroom several times a day, and the food was delicious and plentiful. Most of all, though, I'll remember swimming with sea lions, sharks, turtles and penguins, along with seeing blue-footed boobies, giant tortoises and pelicans aplenty.”

“First, I must compliment Quasar on their wonderful website. It is filled with an abundance of information about the Galapagos, Quasar services, and the Grace. Pictures of all the activities, what to pack and even the weather month by month are available. Next, from the time we booked until the time we left Quito for home, every aspect of our trip went smoothly. We spent two days in Quito, Gabriela from Quasar booked our hotel, shuttle services and tours. All transportation to the Galapagos and home was arranged. And last but not least the Quasar staff was always available to answer questions and responsive to our requests. It truly was one of the easiest trips we have ever taken.”

“This was a trip of a lifetime, and exceeded all of our expectations (which were very high). Quasar helped us organize four days at Mashpi Lodge, followed by a week on the Grace. Every aspect of the trip was perfect. The drivers were all there waiting for us, and our plane tickets and Galapagos passes were waiting for us at the airport. The pre-trip support and information was comprehensive. But it was the crew of the Grace who made the trip truly extraordinary. On our week there were 13 passengers and 13 crew. They knew us by name, and no request was a problem. The guides, Walter and Diego, were knowledgeable, supportive, and encouraging. The food was spectacular. I now need dessert for lunch every day. We highly recommend Quasar, and the Grace in particular.”

“Quasar exceeded my expections and made my “bucket list” trip truly memorable. The attention to detail, exquisite meals, phenomenal naturalist guides, the Captain and crew, the accomodations all were first class! Amazing wildlife. The activities are so well planned. The Captain invited us to the helm as the Grace crossed the equator. Just a wonderful experience Thank you to Paul and Diane with Quasar Your recommendations and planning our pre trip to Quito were wonderful. Loved the chocolate experience. WOW.”
