Our recent trip to the Galapagos aboard the Evolution far exceeded our expectations. From the initial contact to the final leg of transportation home the staff of Quasar executed flawlessly. The Galapagos Islands are a very special place. Traveling the 450 nautical miles aboard the ship is definitely the best way to see as much wildlife and scenery as possible. The naturalists are very knowledgeable and their love and pride of their homeland was evident throughout the trip. The crew attended to every detail and went above and beyond in every aspect. It was definitely the trip of a lifetime and a must do if you have ever had even the slightest interest in exploring this part of our world. Thank you Quasar!

We have just returned from a trip to Quito, La Selva Lodge and the Galapagos from November 30th to Dec 16th. We had the trip of a lifetime. We, unfortunately, cannot provide the names of all the people we interacted with in Quito. From the gentlemen who picked us up and took us back to the airport on numerous occasions to the lady who took us on a very informative four-hour walking tour of old Quito, and to the staff of the Casa Gangotena. ​The trip to La Selva Eco Lodge at the headwaters of the Amazon River was incredible and our guides Edwin and Henry worked hard to make it unforgettable. They allowed us time to take photos and imparted an incredible amount of knowledge about the area, the birds, other animals and mammals. The piranha fishing was a once in a lifetime thrill. The lodge itself is wonderful and the whole experience was better than anything we had anticipated. ​Once we returned to Quito, the staff at the Casa Gangotena went out of their way to have our laundry done before we left the next day for the Galapagos. The hotel itself is lovely. ​On our arrival at the Island of Baltra we were met by our guides from the M/Y Grace, Alex and Carolina. These two are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate people. ​The crew of the Grace were wonderful, I don’t remember all their names, but all should be told that they made our trip and have made us want to return to do the south west itinerary. Joseph, the manager, was well organized and made the trip seamless, Julio, the barkeep among all other jobs, seemed tireless, the chef created amazing dishes, Freddie and Pablo, the drivers of the boats to the Islands, were very skilled and the Captain who never seemed to sleep was obviously firmly in charge of all. The ship itself is lovely. Our heartfelt thanks to the company and all of the staff for this unforgettable experience.

Trip to Galapagos with Quasar was 5 star, most excellent! Everyone was professional from the room stewards to the dining staff and chef, and especially the naturalist guides. The daily excursions were well done, and varied, and well led. Our guides were so enthusiastic about the islands, their history, and their future. We thoroughly enjoyed every single day.

We sailed with another couple on the Quasar Evolution at the end of October 2019. The entire experience was wonderful and we were constantly amazed at how our experiences every day seemed to exceed the prior day. We just couldn't imagine how it could get better but it did. The staff was always attentive and helpful and ensured that everything was extraordinary. The food was very good and anyone with special dietary needs was accommodated seamlessly.

Wonderful tour. The crew and guides contributed greatly to this wonderful experience. I can’t think of one thing that could have been done better.

Quasar Expedition staff were attentive and really helpful in organising my trip to the Atacama Desert. They suggested I stay at the Alto Atacama Lodge which was a wonderful choice. I had a brilliant trip!

I would recommend this trip the staff on the boat was so attentive and accommodating. Everything I wanted to see we saw and Ralfa the guide got to know each individual personally and made the experience even better. He gave us pointers on picture taking and capturing the best moments as well as ensuring we understood the geology and evolution.

Our trip was amazing and a once in a lifetime experience. The people on the ship including the naturalists (Bolo and Alex!), bar tender (Cesar) and everyone else (especially those amazing Galapagos animals) were beyond. Thank you for everything!
