9-Time Travel+Leisure World's Best Award Winner
Escape to the Galapagos This Fall
Save up to 40% + Complimentary Domestic Galapagos Flights

September through December is a remarkable time to explore the Galapagos—when marine life surges and iconic species display rarely seen behaviors. Blue-footed boobies perform courtship dances, waved albatrosses nest on Española Island, sea lion pups are born along the shores, and giant tortoises can be seen migrating through the highlands. In the water, cooler currents attract penguins, rays, sea turtles, and the chance to snorkel alongside playful sea lions—or even spot whales and dolphins.

For the ultimate Fall escape, few places rival the Galapagos between September and December—with extraordinary wildlife activity and luxurious ease. With comfortable weather, low-season tranquility, and golden lighting that photographers dream of, this time of year offers a deeper, more cinematic version of the Galapagos experience.

Enjoy special fall savings for a limited time only! Save up to 40% off plus complimentary Galapagos flights (savings of up to $4,630 per person) on Quasar Evolution departures, or save up to 30% off plus complimentary Galapagos flights (savings up to $4,080 per person) on Quasar Grace departures. Book by July 31, 2026 to secure this exclusive offer.

Quasar is here to help your family experience the trip of a lifetime—just like the hundreds of other happy adventurers.
