Friendly, accommodating, insightful deckhands and a beautiful tour. The second I stepped foot on the Island Star and met the captain and deckhands, I knew this was going to be a wonderful trip. The ride was so smooth that one of my family members changed his mind about sailing and already wants to do it again! They had snorkel gear ready for us once we arrived at a cove. One of the deckhands actually dove into the water to ensure it was a good snorkel spot before we jumped in. He led us on a little snorkeling tour around the reef and helped us identify the fish we saw. When we were done swimming and snorkeling, they had a hot shower, towels, and snacks ready for us. I really appreciated the hot shower! My family is mostly vegetarian and they were able to accommodate us with delicious food, snacks, and drinks. Weeks after our trip, and Im still thinking about the fresh fruit platter they had for us. The highlight of our trip was seeing a pod of dolphins swim up to the boat and play in the wake. They swam beside the boat for several minutes; it almost felt like we were playing with them. Ive never been that close to dolphins before and it was incredible! I would highly recommend Island Star to anyone. My family is even considering coming back to Maui for whale-watching season and using Island Star again. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!
