Our time on the Evolution was unbeatable! Every day we did different activities and visited new islands. Swimming with sharks, sea turtles, rays, octopuses, and more was absolutely incredible! Each day felt like a new adventure, thanks to the amazing guides who were always there to lead us, explain everything, and keep us safe. The ship is beautiful, the rooms are super comfy, and the staff is fantastic. They take care of every little need—and then some. The food was super varied and even personalized to fit any dietary needs. Every day, we were surprised with new dishes and so many options to choose from. I highly recommend this trip — not just because of the incredible beauty of the Galápagos but also because of the awesome service Quasar provided throughout. If you’re thinking about it, do this trip or check out their other destinations. Thanks for the best vacation ever!…

Excellent - trip of a lifetime. The Evolution was a fantastic yacht with a super fantastic crew. Delicious food, and plenty of it! The excursions and snorkeling were truly amazing. Everyday we were with one of the naturalists that guided us through the island hikes, walks and snorkeling. The cabin was spacious and lovely and the service impeccable. Really, nothing could have gone better - except seeing a whale!…

The Evolution was stunning. She is truly a classic beauty. The yacht is so unique compared to all the other yachts that look exactly the same. I along with my others guests where all honored to come back to (our as we come to know it) unique yacht. Truly loved how much outside space the yacht had . All 32 of us could easily be outside watching the comet and seeing the entire Milky Way for our star gazing time. I also appreciated how easy the deck made it to get on and off the yacht.…

I can’t say enough about our week-long cruise on the Evolution. It was everything we had hoped for and more. The boat was perfection — relaxing, roomy public areas and comfortable private quarters, all kept immaculate by the crew. No, the yacht — a former fishing vessel — doesn’t look like the other tourists boats we saw, but that made it more special. So much character! The guides were exceptionally knowledgeable and engaging, and they kept the activities and outings fun, as well as educational. We saw an abundance of wildlife (on land and in the water) and miles and miles of dramatic terrain. The onboard meals were delicious and creative, and the chef was especially attentive to dietary restrictions. The cruise seems to attract passengers who are adventuresome, curious, and engaging, and our merry group quickly bonded over our shared journey. (An impromptu dance party broke out on deck by the fourth night.) The entire week felt like one grand adventure — a feast of experiences that I will treasure for the rest of my life. This is an ambitious journey that requires you to be active, and so there is opportunity for mishaps. So, I want to say I was so impressed with how much the crew made safety the top priority at every turn, and we gained further confidence by having a doctor onboard. Unfortunately, my wife had occasion to need his care after she fell on a hike on our last day, and she broke her wrist. We are so grateful for the quick, skillful, and caring help she received. She now says she’d do the whole trip all over again, even knowing she’d break her wrist. That’s how much we enjoyed it!…

One of those trips that you realize everything was perfect. A perfect place (galapagos is amazing) a perfect ship, a perfect crew (everybody was kind, warm and so professional) and a perfect service.
