Quasar ExpeditionsReviews of quasarex.com

This is the second time we have used Quasar. We did a Galapagos trip with them several years ago and it was so perfect we selected them for coordinating the land portion and the cruise portion of our trip to southern Patagonia. Best decision we ever made! Every aspect of the trip was flawless. All personnel were knowledgeable, professional, punctual and flexible in terms of making the trip work for us. In addition, everyone we spoke with who worked for or interacted with Quasar had nothing but positive feedback. Save yourself time and stress and work with Quasar

We had a great time travelling with Quasar to Chilean Patagonia in July '22. From the moment we arrived in Santiago all went smoothly, our guides were good company to be with and the transfer drivers took us safely to first Torres del Paine and later the Atacama as well. Seeing Torres del Paine in a thick layer of snow was just stunning. With respect for the natural environment and giving the animals the space they need, our knowledgable guides Christian and Junior went out of their way to show us many different pumas every day - with owls, condors, caracaras and more as a bonus. There were few other people which made for a quiet and memorable experience. We were well taken care of in Explora with a comfortable room and lovely warm shower after a day of spotting pumas in -15c. Great cocktails and good food were a perfect end to every day.

This trip was the most wonderful vacation we have ever been on! The boat,crew,food and all the wildlife very amazing. Quasar and the whole team really went out of their way to make our vacation the best we have ever been on !! Rosemarie and Ben

This trip was truly a trip of a lifetime. Exploring the Galapagos islands by boat was the best way to really experience the area and all the inhabitants. It was a Safari on the Water. The ship, Evolution, gave a very casual feel but upscale like a luxury cruise. Every meal was memorable and the cabins were spacious and cleaned throughout the day. All the crew members were great, always there to help or make you laugh. The Naturalist/Guides were really awesome. They made each outing, whether to a beach or in the water more exciting than the previous one. They were not only very knowledgeable but also fun to be around. They seemed to get as excited as the guest whenever we’d come upon a new adventure and they were always adapting to what was going on when different events popped up. When a guest spotted something in the water in the distance our guides took us out in the pangas to check it out. It was actually a very large pod, about 150, of pilot whales. We rode in our inflatables with them for about 45 minutes. The whales were so graceful swimming in and out of the water right next to us. It was unbelievable to be one with them in nature. Hearing them blow air through their blowhole was mesmerizing and then watching them jump just took our breath away. We all took 100s of videos.

Great customer service, great people, great food, great scheduling of daily activities....Did I say great?

and Quasar exceeded them all. I was on the Evolution Yacht (Footsteps back in time, 8 days). - Food on board was excellent (they took my strict dietary restrictions into account). The non-alcoholic (and alcoholic) cocktails were such a nice touch at the end of each day - Our guides were doing their best during excursions so we can fully enjoy the trip and get all the pictures we want. From birds and iguanas to penguins, dolphins and sea lions, I saw everything thanks to Christina, Soto and Sofia. They went the extra mile for us. - Same for the crew who was always friendly, positive and helpful. You do not feel like a guest, you feel like a member of the family. - Snorkeling was out of this world ! - Excursions were great. We were busy from dawn to dusk. Quasar recommended to take a good book for the trip, I did not need it :) - Facilities (included cabins) were always kept clean and were very cozy - All passengers were relaxed and happy 8 days are more than sufficient to have a great tour of the Galapagos. That being said, I will certainly be back to enjoy this experience once more.

Everything about this cruise was first-rate--the crew, the naturalists, the food and beverages, and the itinerary. The first night we were welcomed as family, and by the end of the week we hated to say goodbye. The Galapagos is a unique experience where you coexist with nature in a special way, and Quasar maximizes that experience through hikes, panga rides, and snorkeling, all with a sense of excitement. You will look forward to every day and every adventure.

Met or exceeded our expectations. All of the Quasar staff were very helpful and friendly. Great adventure and wonderful time.
