Magic in the Galapagos Aboard Quasar s M Y Grace

Our experience on the Quasar cruise aboard the M Y Grace in the Galapagos was sublime Certainly the Galapagos with its primeval landscapes and unparalleled opportunities to see wildlife up-close is unique Just as certainly the Grace is comfortable and elegant with a timeless cozy charm though not grandiose or ostentatious The Gal pagos Islands seen from the home base of the M Y Grace constitute a solid foundation for a great trip however the crown jewel is the staff and guides of the Grace They transformed a wonderful experience into a magical experience Where can I begin Frankly before our trip began I was skeptical about how much joy and discovery were to be found amongst these islands of rocks and birds The staff and guides worked seamlessly and tirelessly to create an environment where joy and discovery were yet one more natural phenomenon to be experienced effortlessly Like we say in the US as easy as falling off a log The staff of the Grace were unfailingly warm welcoming and gracious Their tireless efforts to ensure our happiness were an inspiration Their relaxed teamwork coordinated without apparent organization never once forgot about our safety and well-being Their attention to small details was continually surprising and refreshing Every time we returned to Grace from snorkeling we were welcomed with towels and refreshments Every time we returned to our cabin from breakfast our rooms had been cleaned and our bed made At the risk of sounding facetious I felt like Princess Grace Our guides Walter and Hernan allowed us to set the pace They were both enthusiastic with apparently boundless knowledge of the environment teaching us how to see the remarkable landscape and inhabitants of the Galapagos Friendly and approachable they gently encouraged us to see more of the Galapagos and its strange creatures to see more deeply into the mysteries of why such a place exists Shout-outs to some of the crew Scarlett thank you for your warmth and attention Talking with you was like basking in the sun Your attention to details never flagged and I always felt I belonged there like a member of the Family I want to be your friend Israel you are a good Captain Your warmth was unfailing and I felt safe and confident under your leadership Javiar and Alejandro you guys epitomize hospitality and your abilities to take the ordinary and transform it into the extraordinary amazes me Ignacio Alex David Roger Washington Luis - Thank you I want to express a heartfelt thank you to Quasar for their vision and organization and to the crew and guides of the Grace for their flawless execution

Family Adventure of a Lifetime

Our family of 10 2 grandparents 2 kids and spouses and 4 grandchildren enjoyed the adventure of a lifetime aboard the MY Grace August of 2022 It was a bucket list item that seemed perfect for us given the continuing concerns for COVID-19 Our trip exceeded our expectations in every way The service staff and accommodations aboard the yacht were outstanding Our two naturalists were extremely knowledgeable and did a great job engaging us and the children in so many wonderful activities We never tired of the amazing wildlife and spectacular scenery We recommend Quasar and this trip to anyone looking for an intimate cruise experience rich with adventure and wildlife interaction

Most Rewarding Experience

I have traveled to all 50 states and over 20 countries and can honestly say our family trip to the Galapagos aboard M Y Grace was the most rewarding experience I ve ever had

The trip with Quasar was simply fantastic

The experience with Quasar Expeditions aboard the Evolution is simply fantastic My expectations were high as I had researched previously and they exceeded them by far The first thing I want to highlight is the organization there is nothing that is not covered by each and every one of the Quasar staff at every stage of the trip From the airport to the yacht to the guides everything is perfectly synchronized Secondly I would like to highlight the experience on board The crew takes care of even the smallest detail when we came back from snorkeling and the water was a bit chilly they waited for us on the yacht with hot chocolate and this is barely a detail We had the opportunity to go on tours with each one of the guides and it is incredible the level of knowledge and experience they have no matter where they are on the itinerary You can tell they have many years of experience and know the islands from A to Z These 7 days aboard the Evolution have been the best vacation I have had in a long time Congratulations keep it up

The trip of a lifetime

Traveling to the Galapagos Islands with Quasar Expeditions aboard the Evolution was one of the best travel experiences I have had so far We had been looking forward to this trip because it was a destination we had on our Bucket List for a long time and thanks to Quasar the trip was everything we had hoped for and more The whole process from the contact with the team before the trip the information they sent us the help to know what to pack the attention at the airport in short every detail of the process left us very satisfied Once we arrived at the beautiful yacht the personalized attention of the crew was one of the highlights of the trip From the guides Cesar the bartender or any assistant on board everyone was always with a smile and attentive to any need even anticipating them The food and snacks were very diverse and with an excellent cuisine my compliments to the chef he made me gain a couple of pounds in those days The three guides Bolo Alex and Cristina were so lovely all super friendly and fun and so knowledgeable You could ask them any question and they always had an answer I was a little anxious before snorkeling but they always made me feel safe and comfortable Thank you very much to all the Quasar team for an excellent service and an experience that I will always remember

First quality service for the trip of a lifetime

From our first contact with Quasar to the moment we returned home it was nothing short of a spectacular experience Quasar was there every step of the way to ensure all our needs were taken care of We stepped off the airplane in Ecuador and were immediately met by a friendly and professional driver who welcomed us and took us to our first destination in Old Town Quito From there they arranged a stay in Quito transfer to a 4 day experience in the Amazon transfer back to Quito and on to the Galapagos islands for our 1 week adventure aboard The Evolution transfer back to Quito for a full day tour of Otovalo and a final transfer back to the airport for our journey home Every Quasar employee was a pleasure to deal with I would travel with Quasar again and again and highly recommend them to anyone considering a trip to the Galapagos

Far exceeded our expectations

From meeting us at the airport as we began our vacation to the airport again at the end of our trip it was nothing but excellent customer service The trip was fabulous and the crew and itinerary far exceeded our expectations I can t say enough about how great our trip was
