Amazing, does not get any better. Only way to visit Galapagos.

The boat was very attractive and comfortable -- both the staterooms and the common area. What made our trip so special, however, was the staff. The crew was wonderful, and the National Park Service guides were top notch. Both in their nightly briefings and while taking us on excursions they provided the right kind and the right amount of information, and they made an effort to get to know everyone. We were three generations, and we all had a tremendous time!

We had a genuinely terrific time. The Galapagos is an unworldly place whose beauty is truly raw. Few places offer such serene peacefulness in an environment that remains, for the most part, unadulterated by mankind. New and old life surrounds one on every island as does the brutality of survival. My family and I would spend every evening contemplating what we had experienced during the day as we appreciated our wonderful accommodations and the worldly people we met. That said, we were impressed by the age range of the passengers which allowed for various degrees of activities depending on one's abilities and desires. The Grace is beautiful and well maintained, and the staff is truly friendly and efficient. The food is plentiful and tasty. The itinerary is very well planned and gives a wonderful overview of the islands and wildlife, both on land and in the water. I also highly recommend working with Quasar. Diane did a great job organizing the trip for us, including setting up our stay in Quito and Hacienda Zuleta (which is a stunning "farm" in the Andes). My family and I look forward to taking future trips with Quasar.

Really great guides. Crew was first rate and provided assistance always with a smile. No task/request was refused. Cabins were well appointed and well stocked. Boat size was just about perfect. Breakfast was excellent; a bit more flavor in lunch and dinner would not hurt. All in all, it was A1.

Our time on “The Evolution” was a once in a lifetime kind of experience. The sights and sound of pristine untouched nature we had not had a pleasure to experience before, on top of great service from the crew cannot be described in short sentences. The crew was magnificent, my wife is afraid of water, she started snorkeling First time in her life, with the help Isaac, she enjoyed so much that, she went on all snorkeling Trips and was her most enjoyable parts of the cruise. We had a ball and would recommend to anybody who wants to experience the nature in a Luxurious manner.

If you enjoy activities including snorkeling, seeing wildlife on land via walking, kayaking with sea lions being playful, and like small groups, then this cruise is for you. Enjoy good meals and snacks, and listen to local history of the Galapagos etc. A very organized and fun experience.

Going to the Galapagos had long been a dream of ours. After calling several other sites I spoke with Paul & Dianne of Quasar Expeditions & knew immediately that they were who we wanted to go with. They are informative, helpful & not pushy.We booked a 7 day cruise on the Evolution a 32 passenger boat. From the minute that they meet you at the airport to the minute that they take you to the airport to leave, they are the most professional & fun people that you could ever want to be with. The boat is spotless, the meals were excellent, the guides and the entire crew are terrific and the islands are spectacular. We spent the day before in Quito to avoid any travel problems & had a guided old town tour [ highly recommended]. If you are thinking of going to the Galapagos, go with Quasar Expeditions, it's definitely a 10 out of 10. Marc & Phyllis Berger Niantic, CT cruise date 1/12/19

Unbelievably fantastic! I was so impressed by Quasar’s attention to detail. They kept us informed on not on,y our itenarary but as to how to prepare. If we had any questions, they were eager to help. They virtually held our hand from arrival into Quito until our departure back home. When my wife developed altitude sickness, they helped arrange for a doctor to visit her and continued to check up on her throughout the next few days. When we decided to change our return layover from Quito to Guayaquil, they were on top of the changes and quickly made arrangements for a new hotel. I can’t say enough about how personal and professional they were. We are already planning our next expedition with Quasar. Walt Peterson
