Quasar Expeditions Anmeldelser 

The most amazing vacation cannot wait to travel again with quasar. They are very attentive throughout the whole process 😄

Tasha Williams's recommendations for activities and accommodations were spot on. Both Tasha and Martin Munoz were responsive to all of my queries in an expeditious manner and most pleasant. I felt Tasha understood my expectations and delivered. The only reason I didn't rate my experience as excellent is that I felt they didn't need to schedule private transportation with an interpreter for me from the Tierra Patagonia to the airport when the hotel already provided the service. Although it is an excellent example of their attention to detail, it was totally unnecessary.

Our tour of Patagonia was everything we hoped for. Our guide, Rodrigo, was fantastic. His knowledge of the animals and the terrain kept my husband and I and our 3 teenagers fascinated.

My son and I had an excellent adventure exploring Patagonia. We decided somewhat late to reserve this trip and Quasar was most accommodating. The independence of the Jeep transportation, the quality of the lodges, along with hiking and other outdoor activities and sites (glaciers, lakes) made every day something special.
I would recommend Quasar for an adventurous way to explore Patagonia.

The trip was amazing. All details were handled professionally before , during and after the trip.

All of the staff at Quasar were very professional. We have recommended to several of our friends. They have been a great organization to work with.

An amazing trip to the Galapagos, with an attentive crew, a knowledgable guide, and excellent accomodations about the M/Y Grace.

Best trip of my life

My family had a fantastic vacation on the M/Y Grace. Our guides were enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. Our cruise director and the entire crew were very friendly and helpful. We thought everything was planned and executed very well, from the activities to the food. We enjoyed the size and style of the M/Y Grace, with only 16 passengers the cruise felt personal and special. We would highly recommend Quasar and M/Y Grace for a cruise to the Galapagos Islands.

Diane Schicke, Quasar customer service manager, answered all my questions with patience and helped us find the cruise that worked great for our family.

A couple of other notes: I get motion sick easily and was concerned that a small boat would not be the right choice. I used the patch behind my ear and I did not get motion sick on the M/Y Grace.

Our rooms were on the lower deck C1 and C3, the air conditioners were noisy. It would be nice if they were quieter.

This trip was amazing. The intimate group on the Grace, Rafa our guide and the staff only enhanced the magnificent Galapogos experience.

They did everything

I recommend you to everyone. Best trip I have ever been on. The ship, the crew, the rooms, the food...all was excellent. Raphael was a superb guide.

The MY Grace is a lovely ship. The crew and the guides were excellent. The whole Galapagos trip was totally memorable.
Quasar also arranged a trip for us to La Selva Ecolodge that was amazing and the Casa Gangotena in Quito was wonderful.

It was a great trip, enjoyed by the all three generations of our family. Quasar and the crew of the Grace ensured that it was a wonderful experience. We would recommend Quasar and its Galapagos expeditions to everyone.

Quick responses, professional, excellent hotel recommendations and a beautiful trip. We will use Quasar again for sure. Thank you for everything!

We had an outstanding 9 day vacation that included day tours in Quito and Otavalo in mainland Ecuador and then a 7 day cruise of the Galapagos Islands on the M/V Evolution. The staff and crew that oversaw our tours and voyage were fantastic. In Quito we toured historic churches, made chocolate paste from cacao beans at a locally owned chocolate shop and did a coffee "cupping" (tasting) at a local Coffee Cafe. In Otavalo we visited the town marketplace and went to a local beer festival. The 3 Naturalists who managed our tours and snorkeling adventures on the Evolution were amazing. They possessed exceptional knowledge of the wildlife, birds and marine life we saw. Tours were amazing. I was traveling only 5 months after serious back surgery. The entire crew went out of their way to accommodate my physical limitations and insure I could participate in the hikes and the snorkeling - something I'd never done before. I highly recommend Quasar and their team of professionals.

We spent Christmas 2019 in the Galapagos islands with Quasar on the Evolution. Our trip exceeded our expectations. The guides were very informative, and everyone on board was very kind and helpful. The activities showed us the Galapagos islands in all their glory. Last of all, the food on board the Evolution was wonderful. We could not have wished for a better trip.

I cannot recommend Quasar's Galapagos cruise on the Evolution highly enough. My husband and I were first-time cruisers and the idea of cruising at all really put us off-- we typically like to have control over our plans, active schedules, flexibility, etc., but were told by many experienced travelers that the best way to see the Galapagos is by boat because of the scarcity and limitations on hotels. We are so glad we chose Quasar. Not only are the smaller ships (the Evolution has a maximum of 32 passengers) easier on the environment, but they also allow you to have a very personalized and intimate experience with the wildlife.

We had 3 naturalist guides (all of whom had advanced degrees in biology, conservation, etc.) on our ship meaning we typically broke up into groups of about 10, and we very seldom ran into other groups or ships during excursions. Everybody was able to get up close to the incredible wildlife -- we saw sea lions, crabs, hammerhead sharks, white-tipped sharks, flamingos, penguins, sea turtles, tortoises, dolphins, iguanas, three types of boobies, other birds, tons of sea life, and I'm sure other things I'm forgetting. Everyday was packed with activities from snorkeling to short hikes to kayaking, etc.

The small size of the ship also meant that we were able to be more flexible. For example, one day after lunch we saw in the far distance a pod of dolphins swimming by - the guides quickly leapt into action, told us to put our life jackets on, and we hopped into the dinghy boats to catch up to them. We spent 20-30 minutes riding alongside a pod of hundreds upon hundreds of dolphins, who were swimming, breaching, flipping, and playing alongside us. It was one of the most memorable experiences I have ever had in my life. I can't imagine a ship of 100+ passengers being able to do that. It wasn't on our schedule, but the guides really and truly were all about giving us the best experience ever and making sure we saw all that we could.

In addition, the boat itself was beautiful and extremely well kept. They do an excellent job of keeping everything incredibly clean so that you feel comfortable walking around bare foot-- everybody's feet and shoes are hosed off after every excursion. The hot tub was also a very lovely amenity. Food was plentiful and fresh, and we were never served the same meal twice. The staff and crew were courteous and helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we all had a great time and were taken care of.

I had very high expectations, but they were far exceeded by Quasar. I cannot recommend their Galapagos cruise enough.

What an amazing adventure I had with my sister in the Galapagos Islands through Quasar Expeditions. Everything we had hoped for and more. Started with a fun adventure in Quito and then continued starting in San Cristobal Island with Quasar. We were on the Evolution, a beautiful ship (32-passengers). The staff was absolutely incredible - fun, friendly, helpful, accommodating. The ship is beautiful - the rooms are spacious and modern and there are lots of places to hang out on the boat, including the hot tub at the front of the boat and the bar lounge outside. The food was delicious and there was a lot of variety. The guides are so incredibly knowledgeable - we didn't just see things, we learned so much. I was so tired at the end of each day from all the great excursions - hiking, snorkeling, kayaking, more hiking. We also had great passengers on the trip who were easy to get along with and fun. One of the best parts of this trip was the small number of total passengers on the boat, which allowed us to be more free to explore. One day while eating lunch outside on the back of the ship, someone saw some dolphins - our guides told us to leave our lunch and jump in the pangas (small dinghys) and we were off, riding alongside what turned out to be a pod of hundreds (maybe even a thousand) dolphins. It was incredible. The entire trip was incredible and we would highly recommend this to anyone thinking of traveling to the Galapagos!

Incredible focus on safety, education, preservation and luxury service.
