“This was absolutely once in a lifetime experience with Quasar in Chile/Argentina. Words do not do justice to our beautiful planet and out of this world experience. I hope Quasar will have more South America Itinerary to explore.”

“Quasar is an outstanding company providing expert led trips to Patagonia and Galapagos. I've enjoyed each immensely! The guides were knowledgeable and accommodating of all our requests. The work done before our arrival was helpful and handled thoroughly. The expeditions each day were beautiful and they must have a way with the weather because we had great days!!! The pre and post trips they arranged were wonderful as well! We packed a lot in and very appreciative of the experience! Highly recommend!”

Dear Mary, It’s so rewarding to hear how much you enjoyed both Patagonia and the Galapagos with us — and I have to agree, we do seem to have a little luck with the weather now and then! Thank you for sharing the beautiful photo. I’m especially glad you felt cared for, both in the planning stages and out in the field with our guides. Thank you for sharing your experience and for trusting us with so many special moments. Warm regards, Natalie Balaresque Customer Success Hero

“It was a great trip. More upper end than I usually go on, but my partner picked it out and I really enjoyed it. Yes there was a greater expense than I'm used to, but it didn't feel over the top. Everything that was needed to make this a great and safe trip was provided without feeling like "too much", just what was necessary to make it all work. A special note. The ship's captain was very good at presenting himself as confident, experienced, intelligent, accessible, everything. Dressed in white, epaulets, the figure of authority. So what did he do on snorkeling expeditions when he didn't have to command the ship. He personally snorkeled with my partner, who doesn't swim, but who bravely got in the ocean, with some safety flotation, and the captain of the 200' Evolution, with 31 guests and 29 staff, personally kept her safe, and secure by staying with her and enabling her to enjoy that great experience of being in the marine environment with those special animals. Enough said!”

“I appreciated the help designing this vacation. I could not have done it without their help. Patagonia was magnificent. Everything we planned went off perfectly, without a hitch. We chose to go without a guide and the GPS provided with our car was great - everything we were to see was programmed, making it very easy to travel with confidence.”

“My wife Lindsay and I have never had such a perfect travel experience as we did with Quasar. From the months of planning with Tasha to the end of the trip, we always had the advice and expertise of Quasar and their staff and partners to rely on. During the planning process we had many questions and concerns that Tasha handled with patience and experience, She helped us understand all of the places she recommended and what to expect. Once on the trip we were met on time and with a smile and information on what we would be doing. The guides were exceptional. They lead us to the spots we were scheduled to see and recommended other things we should do while we were under their care. It is hard to pick out the most memorable excusion but we were most surprised by the 'Cooking Experience". We expected a cooking lesson where the chef talks about what to do and you maybe get to do some cooking. The experience was totally different. The chef first guided us through all the four food halls in Santiago, stopping to pick up some fish along the way. Then we retreated to his appartment which was fully equipped for catering which is what he does. It also has a view of the Andes to the east. After appertiff's of oysters on the half shell, we went into his kitchen where we made two delicious dishes under his direction. We then feasted on the dishes while samplng 3 wines. Each hotel was 5 star and each one very unusual. For example the Singular Pennisula , an abandoned sheep processing bulding located in Puerto Bories, has obtained international honors for its unique luxury services and for its mastery in preserving the old factory's massive machinery while integrating it into the modern style of the building. The old refrigeration rooms have been turned into lofty rooms and suites with amazing views of the Fjord of last hope. Bur probably the most unusual lodging was the Aguas Arriba Lodge. Hand built from stone and natural woods, the lodge features five generous suites. The owners live there and are very gracious with their attention to each guest. This is where I was rewarded with a sunrise view of Mount Fitz Roy, attached. In closing, Quasar has set a standard that will be hard to duplicate much less beat. From the planning to the finale - everything was better that expected. We will certainly use Quasar in the future. Bob Felton and Lindsay Wallis”

“Absolutely spectacular - trip of a lifetime. While the Quasar Evolution is my only experience cruising the Galapagos, I wouldn't change a thing! The ship is beautiful. Staff wonderful. Guides are so incredible - their love and knowledge of the place and its creatures is hard to describe. Delicious food. Very busy days exploring, hiking, snorkeling (many days over 3 hours in total) and generally being in awe of one of the most amazing places on the planet. If there is any way you can, GO!”

“My wife and I recently returned from a Quasar organized adventure to both the Amazon and the Galapagos Islands. Each trip was about a week long. Our adventure to the Amazon originated in Quito, Ecuador where we acclimated to the altitude and with a guide, toured the beautiful and historic city of Quito. From Quito, by way of plane and boat, we travelled into the Amazon and stayed at the wonderful, La Selva. With excellent guides we explored the jungle waterways by small boat, hiked, climbed 215 steps to the forest canopy to view monkeys and birds, and viisited a native community and school. From Quito we travelled to the Galapagos and by ship toured extensively on the MV Evolution (shout out to 'pilot' Vincent). The crew was extremely accomodating, guides were phenomenal, and the hikes, small boat adventures and snorkeling was exceptional. Diane at Quasar organized our trip and and in great detail prepared our itinerary. The planning and preparation was beyond expectation. Quasar took care of every little detail and they were exceptional. Happy Trails, J & L, Oregon”

“What a wonderful experience. From the yacht itself, to the guides, the activities,the food and the staff -- could not have asked for more. This was not a relaxing type cruise but was an educational activity based week to learn and experience a place like no other in the world. And Quasar, on the Evolution Yacht, was the company that exceeded our expectations. We will never forget our Galapagos trip. Thank you again Quasar!!”

“This was truly a trip of a lifetime. Everything about Quasar's services exceeded my expectations. We had amazing guides for half day tours of Santiago and Buenos Aires, but the real highlight was our wonderful guide and the comfortable Toyota 4 Runner for 10 days in Patagonia. It was clear that she wanted to make everyday as perfect and exciting as possible. We could modify our plans if weather was a problem or if we wanted to do more or less than originally planned. Every hotel was comfortable and well staffed and located. Patagonia is beautiful but very remote. To truly enjoy the experience, you need to have a knowledgeable guide and a quality company behind you . Quasar is the best possible choice for such a trip.”

“Our Quasar Galapagos Islands cruise on the Grace was a trip of a lifetime. From start to finish we had a wonderful time and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The staff on board the Grace was incredible, the accomodations perfect and the food was delicious. Most importantly, we saw so much wildlife, on land and in the water. Our naturalist guides were extremely knowledgeable and led us to some amazing sights. We were able to snorkle with green sea turtles, rays, hammerheads, marine iguanas, sea lions, penguins and flightless cormorants. We hiked among land iguanas, giant tortoises and our favorite, blue-footed boobies. We paddleboarded on glassy waters and took the panga in beautiful quiet coves. We would highly recommend this cruise to anyone who loves nature, adventure and beauty.”

“My husband and I had high expectations for our Quasar Galapagos adventure on THE GRACE YACHT and every one of those expectations were exceeded beyond our wildest dreams. What an incredible Bucket List experience. The ship and crew were simply devine. Incredible service delivered with such care in terms of thoughtfulness and competence. The accommodations combine modern comfort and tasteful design with a timeless classic, understated elegance. Food was off the chart delicious. The naturalists were so knowledgeable and fun. Every activity was incredible. We were sad to leave are new found family and friends, but brought back so many wonderful members. If Galapagos is on your Bucket List, the only way to go is with Quasar. From planning through your journey's end, they will guide you with great service. We can't wait to book another Quasar adventure. Thank you Quasar...you are THE BEST!”

“We had an unbelievable trip to Patagonia that was perfectly organized by the Quasar team. Their attention to detail from the very beginning in planning this trip for our crew was amazing. We experienced a remarkable range of adventure-seeking activities including horseback riding, hikes, and glacier treks; all while taking in the most beautiful panoramic views of the Patagonia landscape. Our accommodations were superb and allowed for maximum relaxation during our downtime. Highly recommend Quasar!”
