We had a fabulous experience aboard The Grace and on each and every location we hiked, toured, kayaked or swam! The Galapagos provides the magic, enhanced only by the passion, knowledge and professionalism of the wonderful naturalist guides, Monica and Cordelia.

Quasar was a wonderful group to work…
Quasar was a wonderful group to work with. They guided us from the beginning to end. Meeting us at the airport and explaining ever step in a multi-step journey. We would use them again.

The vacation of a lifetime.
From the moment we landed in Quito until we flew out the following week, I felt safe, efficiently directed, escorted and educated. Our ship crew was outstanding. Informative, friendly, always available to answer questions and very personable. Never an uncomfortable moment. The vacation of a lifetime.

We went with Quasar on the Grace May…
We went with Quasar on the Grace May 2021. A lot of folks probably are thinking it's a crazy time to go now due to covid, but I wouldn't hesitate. We did have to get a PCR test before flying out to Galapagos from Quito but Quasar arranged it all for us and we just hung out at the nicest resort called Hacienda Jimenita near the airport. Even that part was fantastic.
The Grace is such a classy, timeless yacht. The entire crew went above and beyond. We went with 2 friends and came away with a dozen new ones as everyone was so nice and fun. We mingled at meals with everyone, which I would recommend. Our guides were Roberto and Walter. Both were truely gifted with all the knowledge you could ask for about the flora, fauna, geology etc, and they were fun and personable. I doubt that there are better ones in Galapagos
We swam with little friendly playful sea lions, had shark feeding frenzies by the boat at night during dinner a couple times, ran the boat with a huge pod of dolphins, saw giant tortoises, sea turtles, marine iguanas, land iguanas, lava lizards, birds like Darwin finches, mating Frigates, Albatroses, blue footed boobies, red footed boobies, Nasca boobies. Half of the plants and animals you see are endemic to the area, found no where else.
Just amazing. There were 3 adventures a day. Always a snorkel, often a hike, some kayaking and some zodiac shore tours. It is like nothing else to go there and the Grace is the best way to do it. Just go. It's a trip of a lifetime.

A great time in Galapagos
From the very first contact with Quasar to explore my Galapagos adventure, it was nothing but a 5 star experience. Highly recommended!
