Kyle Avoids Groups. He Chose Quasar. Here’s What Happened.

Authentic Experiences, Lifetime Memories

You already know that a Galapagos adventure is the perfect fit for nature loving clients, who can look forward to plenty of up-close wildlife encounters in the archipelago.

But what about encounters with another kind of living creature: your fellow human beings?

The only thing better than spotting giant Galapagos tortoises, swimming alongside playful sea lions, and hiking ancient volcanic trails is sharing those moments with like-minded travelers — then reliving it all over a gourmet dinner beneath the stars.

For many of our Guests, this effortless connection becomes an unexpected highlight. Just ask Kyle Valenta, a Senior SEO Manager at Cruise Critic and a self-proclaimed introvert, who joined a Quasar expedition in the Galapagos last year.

Kyle arrived as a solo traveler who likes to avoid group activities at all costs. So how would he fare on our small expedition yacht?

We’ll let Kyle tell you in his own words. But for now, here’s a spoiler alert: he may have come into the experience alone, but that’s not exactly how he left it.

“As it turns out, easy community-building and interpersonal generosity might just be an unofficial part of the Quasar brand.”

What unexpected human connections will your clients make on a small-ship luxury Galapagos cruise?
