Crew was friendly and had very well organized itinerary definitely the way to see Galapagos!

Our Galapagos Islands trip on the M/V Evolution far exceeded our expectations. Incredible scenery, animals up close and personal everywhere we went. The on-board naturalists were passionate about their work and it was a joy to spend our week with them. The ship's crew was professional and fun. I'll definitely be booking my next adventure to South America with Quasar.

Ship experience - wonderful. Cabin was spacious and comfortable, service impeccable, excursions fantastic. Having the naturalist guides was invaluable. Meals and snacks were delicious, healthful, and great variety. Absolutely the trip of a lifetime!

From the moment I stepped out of the park headquarters building and met Sam, one of the National Guides, and the rest of the crew, I didn't worry about anything all week long. The crew and staff was so courteous, friendly, and competent that it seemed like everything worked by magic, though of course it was all their hard work the entire week. The islands themselves as experienced during the excursions were nothing short of awe inspiring. Baby sea lions, crabs, untold varieties of birds, iguanas, sharks, fish, flamingos, orcas, turtles, tortoises... and the amazing thing is how unafraid of humans the wildlife is. Something very primal inside of me was touched and awakened in the Galapagos- just being there had that much of an impact. It really was the crew and the Evolution that made the trip, though. The food was wonderful, the cabin was cozy, comfortable and cleaned multiple times a day (perfect for me as a solo traveler, though it could have easily accommodated another person too), the guides did an amazing job of sharing their immense knowledge of the wildlife and geology, and there were many surprises that brought a smile to my face each day. The only time I was ever uncomfortable was in the air conditioning in some of the public spaces. I wish I had brought some additional warm clothes for dinners and briefings as I hadn't anticipate being that cold. Of course, temperature is a balancing act when trying to keep so many people comfortable and the crew did their best to keep all of us happy. Overall, I wish I could go back tomorrow! It's a gorgeous place with wildlife beyond compare, and the competence and friendliness of everyone at Quasar made this the perfect vacation.

We had a wonderful trip. Quasar staff and guides were thoughtful, attentive, well organized and made us all feel safe and at home. They were also very nice people, who had a sense of fun. The trip was a fascinating blend of touring, watching wildlife, being active in nature. We were lucky to have a group of people on our trip who were compatible and although we came from different backgrounds and had varied interests, we got along well. The food was amazing (we had a special chef the week of our tour) All in all, this was an outstanding experience.

Friendly , knowledgeable staff. Amazing vacation!

Quasar Expeditions exceeded all of our expectations. From the time we scheduled our journey to the farewell toast aboard The Evolution, Quasar could not have been more professional or proactive in anticipating our every need. It was truly the adventure of a lifetime. While we’ve left the Galápagos, we know the fond memories we created there will never leave us.

Diane and Paul were as friendly, helpful, patient, and thorough as they could be. The tour went smoothly and people meeting and guiding us through airports and to and from our hotel were on time and pleasant. And, of course, the trip was exceptional including the boat, food, and staff. No problem giving 5 stars to this organization.
