Wonderful experience from start to finish
Our Galapagos holiday was wonderful from start to finish. This started with the booking experience where Quasar called us and explained everything we wanted to know and helped us to get exactly what we wanted. We had a couple of nights in Quito with a great tour of the city. Then we travelled to Galapagos and the Grace. The boat was everything we had hoped for and our guides and crew were exceptional. Our fellow guests were also good company which is important because the boat is small and there is nowhere to hide! This was a bucket list trip for my wife, which she has wanted to do for so long. It is the most expensive single holiday we have taken but it still felt good value given the service, facilities and last but not least the Islands and the not to be missed animals. We got to see all the animals we wished for at very close quarters and got to swim with turtles, iguanas, sea lines and penguins. We even got distant sightings of whales one evening. It is amazing how close you can get and how they are just not bothered. My longest telephoto lens was a waste of time and dead weight as it was simply not needed although I do wish I had invested in a better underwater camera. All in all a once in a lifetime experience.
