I have traveled to all 50 states and over 20 countries and can honestly say our family trip to the Galapagos aboard M/Y Grace was the most rewarding experience I've ever had!

Traveling to the Galapagos Islands with Quasar Expeditions aboard the Evolution was one of the best travel experiences I have had so far. We had been looking forward to this trip because it was a destination we had on our Bucket List for a long time, and thanks to Quasar, the trip was everything we had hoped for and more. The whole process, from the contact with the team before the trip, the information they sent us, the help to know what to pack, the attention at the airport,... in short, every detail of the process left us very satisfied. Once we arrived at the beautiful yacht, the personalized attention of the crew was one of the highlights of the trip. From the guides, Cesar the bartender, or any assistant on board, everyone was always with a smile and attentive to any need, even anticipating them. The food and snacks were very diverse and with an excellent cuisine, my compliments to the chef, he made me gain a couple of pounds in those days. The three guides (Bolo, Alex and Cristina) were so lovely, all super friendly and fun and so knowledgeable. You could ask them any question and they always had an answer. I was a little anxious before snorkeling but they always made me feel safe and comfortable. Thank you very much to all the Quasar team for an excellent service and an experience that I will always remember.

The experience with Quasar Expeditions aboard the Evolution is simply fantastic! My expectations were high as I had researched previously and they exceeded them by far. The first thing I want to highlight is the organization, there is nothing that is not covered by each and every one of the Quasar staff at every stage of the trip. From the airport, to the yacht, to the guides, everything is perfectly synchronized. Secondly, I would like to highlight the experience on board. The crew takes care of even the smallest detail, when we came back from snorkeling and the water was a bit chilly, they waited for us on the yacht with hot chocolate and this is barely a detail. We had the opportunity to go on tours with each one of the guides and it is incredible the level of knowledge and experience they have no matter where they are on the itinerary. You can tell they have many years of experience and know the islands from A to Z. These 7 days aboard the Evolution have been the best vacation I have had in a long time. Congratulations, keep it up!

I have traveled to all 50 states and over 20 countries and can honestly say our family trip to the Galapagos aboard M/Y Grace was the most rewarding experience I've ever had!

Our family of 10 (2 grandparents, 2 kids and spouses and 4 grandchildren) enjoyed the adventure of a lifetime aboard the MY Grace August of 2022. It was a "bucket list" item that seemed perfect for us given the continuing concerns for COVID-19. Our trip exceeded our expectations in every way. The service, staff and accommodations aboard the yacht were outstanding. Our two naturalists were extremely knowledgeable and did a great job engaging us and the children in so many wonderful activities. We never tired of the amazing wildlife and spectacular scenery. We recommend Quasar and this trip to anyone looking for an intimate cruise experience rich with adventure and wildlife interaction.

Our experience on the Quasar cruise aboard the M/Y Grace in the Galapagos, was sublime. Certainly, the Galapagos with its primeval landscapes and unparalleled opportunities to see wildlife up-close is unique. Just as certainly, the Grace is comfortable and elegant, with a timeless cozy charm, though not grandiose or ostentatious. The Galápagos Islands, seen from the home base of the M/Y Grace constitute a solid foundation for a great trip, however the crown jewel is the staff and guides of the Grace. They transformed a wonderful experience into a magical experience. Where can I begin? Frankly, before our trip began I was skeptical about how much "joy and discovery" were to be found amongst these islands of rocks and birds. The staff and guides worked seamlessly and tirelessly to create an environment where joy and discovery were yet one more natural phenomenon, to be experienced effortlessly. Like we say in the US, as easy as falling off a log. The staff of the Grace were unfailingly warm, welcoming, and gracious. Their tireless efforts to ensure our happiness were an inspiration. Their relaxed teamwork, coordinated without apparent organization, never once forgot about our safety and well-being. Their attention to small details was continually surprising and refreshing. Every time we returned to Grace from snorkeling we were welcomed with towels and refreshments. Every time we returned to our cabin from breakfast, our rooms had been cleaned and our bed made. At the risk of sounding facetious, I felt like Princess Grace. Our guides, Walter and Hernan, allowed us to set the pace. They were both enthusiastic with apparently boundless knowledge of the environment, teaching us how to see the remarkable landscape and inhabitants of the Galapagos. Friendly and approachable, they gently encouraged us to see more of the Galapagos and its strange creatures, to see more deeply into the mysteries of why such a place exists. Shout-outs to some of the crew: Scarlett, thank you for your warmth and attention. Talking with you was like basking in the sun. Your attention to details never flagged and I always felt I belonged there, like a member of the Family. I want to be your friend. Israel, you are a good Captain. Your warmth was unfailing and I felt safe and confident under your leadership. Javiar and Alejandro, you guys epitomize hospitality and your abilities to take the ordinary and transform it into the extraordinary amazes me. Ignacio, Alex, David, Roger, Washington, & Luis - Thank you. I want to express a heartfelt thank you to Quasar for their vision and organization and to the crew and guides of the Grace for their flawless execution.

This trip truly lives up to all the hype. Everyday was thoughtfully planned and well executed by the staff. The food on the Expedition was delicious and nutritious. Highlights included snorkeling with penguins, sea lions and sharks. Every single interaction on the boat was positive- the guides and entire staff were top notch. We did our trip with a 9 and 6 year old, and they felt included in everything we did. They want to know when we can return!

Very enjoyable experience. Boat was very nice. Very clean. Staff was very professional and extremely responsive. Food was very good and plentiful. The naturalist were very informative and helpful. Not a big deal, but better internet service would have been preferred.
