Star Dancer returns to the Alotau port in the afternoon on
the day before disembarkation. Your last day with Star Dancer has
been organized to give you time to off gas and enjoy the
land sites that the area has to offer. All tours are at additional
charge, but are highly recommended. Your package
includes the Captains Cocktail Party that evening followed
by dinner on your own in town. You will stay on
board the yacht this final night.
Final disembarkation will occur between 8:00 am – 9:00
am. Transfers are provided to the airport for guests departing
this day. (Early transfers are available for guest
who may be on a very early flight.) For guests departing
later in the day, you may relax at the Driftwood Resort. If
you are departing in the afternoon, you may even have
time to enjoy a shore excursion in the morning
as well.
On many trips, it is possible for our Star Dancer captain
to arrange with a local village to perform a “sing sing”
or cultural celebration to which our guests will be invited.
Guests are reminded that they should be dressed conservatively
(in a sarong or long shorts) while within view of
the villages. Do not take photographs without first asking
permission to do so. If you care to bring along small gifts
for the children we will likely encounter, may we recommend
that you offer them books, paper, pens, pencils, rulers,
and they also appreciate clothing. Do not give them
food or money.
You may also encounter local villagers as they may paddle
out in their canoes. They will attempt to trade fresh
fruits and vegetables with you. Once again, books, paper,
pens, pencils, and rulers would be appropriate trading
items. |
