It was absolutely amazing! The guides were incredible.

We toured for 7 days on the Evolution with our two daughters (12,16) We loved it, friendly, knowledgeable staff and Naturalists. Truly respected the conservation ethic of the area. Food was wonderful. The hikes and snorkels were wonderful. Accommodations were very first rate, exceeded our expectations for our first time on a cruise of any type. We felt very prepared for the trip. Size of boat (32 passengers) really let us get close to things and had such a nice time with other passengers. Highly recommend

Taking a trip to the Galapagos and Ecuador is a huge investment in time and money, so you really want to make sure that you pick every part of you vacation well. We really hit the jackpot with Quasar on this trip. The arrangements in Quito and the mainland could not have been better. Then the tour of the Galapagos on the Evolution was absolutely perfect. The boat and staff were wonderful, and our guides were fantastic. I retired from the National Park Service and our Galapagos were equal to and in many cases superior to our NPS guides. Not only were they incredibly knowledgeable, they were especially cognizant of our safety. In short, the trip was perfect, and I would highly recommend going with Quasar. .

Our tour of the Galapagos couldn't have been better. Grace is a beautiful ship, and from the moment we boarded we were treated to a week of adventure and fun. Alex and Walter were excellent guides. They had the answers to all our questions, and shared information about the islands to make every stop so special. The snorkeling and hiking were well planned to give us the best experience possible. The crew took care of our every need. Rooms were cleaned several times a day, and the food was excellent. Our cruise director, Michelle, was a pro at keeping things running smoothly. The captain was very skilled and clearly concerned about our safety and comfort. We had a minor medical issue arise on the trip, and the crew and tour company coordinated to take care of the situation. It was handled so well that it barely affected our trip. I would recommend this trip to anyone.

Amazing! There is no better word to describe our experience on the MV Evolution. My husband and I plan an anniversary trip every year, and this year we decided to head to the Galapagos. Paul and Diane were wonderful in helping us arrange our trip. On our way to Quito, our flight was delayed for 5 hours and even though we arrived at 4am, our Quasar driver greeted us at the airport and provided us with helpful information for our short time in Quito. This was very much appreciated. During our stay on the MV Evolution, we were able to unwind and really appreciate the beauty that is the Galapagos. The ship was extremely clean and our room (Cabin C9) was very roomy. The meals prepared by the chefs on the boat definitely exceeded our expectations. There were many choices (including vegetarian options!). No matter what the request, the staff on the boat would go out of their way to make it happen. On the night of our anniversary, Steve (the cruise director), arranged for a private dinner for my husband and I outside among the stars. This was truly magical and special. Our naturalists, Bolivar and Gustavo were also amazing. Every night, they provided us with great history of the islands and prepared us for the next days adventures. The activities could be catered to anyone's fitness levels and Boli & Gustavo made sure to check on everyone. When it came to snorkeling, I made it a point to participate any chance I got, even though at first I was a little nervous. Both Gustavo and Boli stayed close and helped me feel comfortable when it came to swimming in the water. I can't thank Quasar enough for this memorable trip. The staff and naturalists were so wonderful. By the end of the trip, we all truly felt like family. The MV Evolution is a great ship for families, couples and friends who are looking for a boat that provides a personalized service and I highly recommend this ship for your next vacation. In fact, my husband and I are planning to do the other MV Evolution itinerary! Thank you to Quasar and the MV Evolution staff for the great memories and five star experience!

We travelled with Quasar Expeditions and found them to be an excellent company. The highlight was a seven day stay on the M/Y Grace. The ship was stunning in every way, delicious food, wonderful staff, excellent service. The attention to our comfort was truly amazing: from the Captain welcoming us back on board, drinks on deck, hot tub and drinking chocolate after snorkel was a great treat The guides was excellent, detailed briefing every night made sure you really knew what you were seeing and experiencing. The small groups and detailed commentary meant we really learnt a lot about the animals, plants and geology. The content was top class for anyone with prior knowledge or who had done lot of preparation. We extended our trip to drive from Guayaquil to Quito and apart from altitude sickness as we reached 14,000 feet we had a wonderful experience. The hotels they arranged were gorgeous, especially, the MaisonAlcazar. beautiful Cuenca. We had a very thoughtful and knowledgeable guide called Franco there. We would wholeheartedly recommend using this company and I tend to do so ourselves.

Had a wonderful experience with Quasar, the M/V Evolution, her Captain, Naturalists, and Crew. Every function was well planed. Accommodations, food and services while on board was superb. Mainland services were well orchestrated and provided for our every need.
