Trips that Impact Lives and Not Our Planet

We offer travel to the Galapagos Islands in small and mid-sized boats with family and friends: in company - in other words - that guarantees as much exploration or family adventure as safety allows, without every being "lost in a crowd." Many outfitters offer excursions to the islands, for example, in cruise ships packed with 50 or 100 passengers. But in this remarkable area of the world, you can gain a greater sense of being at one with the natural world with our philosophy of intimacy, which also allows us to provide just the right amount of attention each traveler needs for a memorable and personal adventure, while knowing that small groups minimize our impact on the islands.

What will make your visit to Galapagos with us truly exceptional are the many opportunities for close up encounters with wildlife. The islands and surrounding waters are teaming with exotic and colorful creatures that have never learned to fear humans. This translates into a series of daily peak experiences including snorkeling with playful sea lions, tracking giant tortoises and trading stares with unconcerned iguanas, while never being swarmed with a crowd that wants to see the spectacular encounter all at the same time. Bird life is abundant, varied and fearless. You may have to give way as a blue footed booby crosses your path, or have the opportunity to observe a Galapagos hawk perched just a few steps away, as an albatross launches itself off a cliff on a journey that will encompass thousands of miles.

A cruise to the Galapagos Islands with us will feature 7 nights / 8 days of incomparable activities. Each day is filled with walks on beaches or along cliffs, snorkeling turquoise waters, kayaking alongside cliffs swarming with birdlife and of course, resting and eating like in a first-class restaurant. With a crew member to guest ratio of 2 to 1, all our guests receive a more personalized attention and the right amount of pampering to enjoy these islands to the fullest possible extent.

The most fragile visitor sites in Galapagos are off-limits to larger ships. Among these is the Island of Tower (Genovesa), which was formed from a massive collapsed crater and our ships anchor inside the crater lake. If you are a nature lover, Galapagos is the ideal place for you. Let our team show you why we excel in our field and why the Quasar Expeditions' Galapagos experience remains unmatched after over two decades.
