More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The morning light tosses diamonds across a shallow bay as a traditional jukung bumps away from the sand and slips into Blue Lagoon’s clear water. You push off the ladder and the reef takes over: hard coral ridges rise like low walls, clownfish flit through anemones, and a wary scorpionfish melts into a shadowed crevice.
