The cruise is great. I had so much great experience and this one is one of my favorite though. I could never forget the moment. It's really comfortable and really exclusive though.

My husband and I just returned from our Galapagos adventure aboard the M/V Evolution. Quasar is the best! We spent 3 days in Quito first; Gloria was an excellent guide! She went out of her way to make sure our experience was exceptional. Our hotels were pretty awesome, too, and I would stay there again, both Patio Andaluz in town and the Eurobuilding by the airport. I am also very impressed by Ecuador and its people. Everyone was so friendly, and their commitment to reusing/reducing/recycling is commendable. I can’t imagine not having Cristina and Bolo as our guides on the Evolution. They really made our experience unforgettable, taking pictures for us and capturing the best angles and wildlife in the photos. And the chefs, David and Juan Carlos, put on spectacular meals. Kevin was awesome as our bartender. Victor, the captain, and Ellie, the cruise director were also the best! Everyone was so personable and entertained us as well as served us. The ship is very clean and comfortable, and the behind the scenes staff who cleaned and maintained our cabin were virtually invisible, but their service was obvious and impeccable. The reason to go of course, is to experience the wildlife. On the hikes, we were able to get very close, though we maintained a respectful 6 foot distance, from sea lions, numerous bird species, tortoises, iguanas, and crabs. Snorkeling and panga (dinghy) rides gave us close up views of hammerhead sharks, whitetip reef sharks, rays, sea turtles, and more. I can’t say enough about this cruise!!!!

We had an amazing time with Quasar expeditions. The crew on our boat were phenomenal, the naturalists were highly informed and gregarious, the food was delicious, and all of our excursions each day were interesting and breath-taking. We would definitely travel with Quasar again.

We have just returned from a Jeep Overland Safari to Patagonia in Chile and Argentina organized by Quasar Expeditions. We did the self guided trip as we wanted the independence, but Quasar took away all the worry of the logistics which left us free to really enjoy ourselves. They thought of everything, from safety equipment such as a satellite phone for emergencies to cooler bags stocked with goodies. All hotels, tickets for national parks and excursions, border crossing documents to airport transfers were taken care of. Memorable excursions included a great day at an Estancia, where we went horseback riding to ice trekking on the Perito Moreno glacier in Argentina. We also did a pre-trip add on to the Atacama Desert which was a wonderful start to a magical trip. All the Quasar staff we came into contact with were wonderful, including the staff who we organized the trip with, a big shout out to Tasha Williams who helped create our trip. It is all very customized and Tasha was always available to answer our questions. I would highly recommend using Quasar and I am sure my husband and I will be reminiscing about this holiday for a long time to come.

We loved Quasar! Diane and Paul in the US were awesome and so helpful and patient with all of our questions. The boat, staff and guides in the Galapagos were super! We would use Quasar again!

Having only a week for visiting Patagonia Quasar did a wonderful job. Perfectly organized program and an outstanding guide. Very good information Before the trip. The only stressful situation was tight time Schedule for the flights to Patagonia due to change in flight Schedule by the airline Company. Quasar Expeditions is highly recommended

Absolutely wonderful

First rate outfit! Highly recommended. Diane was very knowledgeable about Ecuador and The Galapagos, very responsive, and very thoughtful about tailoring the itinerary to the specific needs of our family of 4. The reservations process were a breeze, and Diane did her best to give us best pricing. The Galapagos is not a typical holiday and she was able to address the many questions we had and gave great advice on the choice of cruise vessel, type of cabins, what to expect, what to bring, etc. Quasar also made the land arrangements in Quito, which deserves at least a couple of days, and her suggested hotels and excursions were perfect fits for us. We had a wonderful time, partly thanks to Diane, partly thanks to The Evolution, it’s crew and naturalists, and particularly the wonder that is The Galapagos.
