I traveled with Quasar Expeditions in the Fall of 2015 and was on the M/V Evolution. I was a solo traveler and it didn't make a difference. I met so many great people in one week that I will now call friends for life. Everyone there is for the same purpose and you can feel that from the first day until the last. The yacht was beyond gorgeous and well kept. The staff was amazing and very funny! Our two naturalists were very educated and really show you how the Galapagos mean everything to them and the preservation of this enchanted place. I swam and snorkeled with sea lions, sharks, sea turtles and even penguins! You will not be disappointed traveling to the Galapagos Islands on a cruise with Quasar Expedtions!

My family and I all agreed that this was our best holiday - beating safari, the Amazon, Barrier reef.. - and all experienced post-holiday blues when we got home. I must admit I was a bit concerned about being stuck on a boat for a week with not a great deal to do - I was completely wrong. Being immersed in the simplicity of the islands for a week was magical, with a good balance of walks, snorkelling, kayaking. The lack of fear of the animals was really quite profound. The guides were extremely knowledgeable, whilst remaining unassuming, and all the boat staff polite and helpful. Being on a smaller boat with only 18 guests was a definite plus, and we were very fortunate in that all the guests were of similar mindset, and got on well with each other.

The Quasar team (crew, naturalists, customer service) were wonderful and made for a truly amazing trip.

Everything that Quasar said they were going to do, including setting up drivers and guides for us as we explored Quito for a couple days before leaving for Galapagos, they did. Everything was seamless and we had an incredible time in Quito. Once getting to Galapagos, the Evolution was most definitely a great choice for us - the yacht was incredible, the staff kind, courteous, friendly and fun to be with, the food was fantastic and the naturalist guides that stayed with us all week were amazing. I can't say enough about how well worth it this trip was. We traveled with our two daughters (12 and 14 years) and they loved the trip as well. I would highly recommend Quasar as a company that does what they say they are going to do - sometimes that's rare in the customer service world these days.

Booked through Quasar - Traveled to Galapagos and Machu Picchu - most obliging and helpful - will use their company again - Of course visiting the "Galapagos" on the MV Evolution and their guides (Raphael and Cristina) helped make for a memorable moment - Diane Schicke from Quasar booking office was always obliging and helpful as was Ana Maria Calderon, who was always available or would get back to you at any hour.

Superb company with outstanding staff, excellent ship and accommodations plus highly informed Naturalists.

Wonderful cruise with great naturalists. Felt safe the entire time. Loved the land tour especially the farm. Food on the boat was fantastic and way more varied than I was anticipating. Crew was great and was super with my 3 girls - aged 9, 9 and13. Never any rough seas. One addition I would have appreciated would have been a night with the stars - since we were so far from any light contamination - it could have been great.

Can't say enough about the staff, the ship itself, the activities ... If you're looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience in the Galapagos Islands, I'd highly recommend checking out traveling with Quasar aboard its M/V Evolution yacht.
