The long-tail engine thumps as the coastline slides away and the sea widens into a palette of green and blue. Within an hour the boat threads between limestone fingers and small jungle-blanketed islets until a dark mouth appears: Emerald Cave. Light slices through the cave’s far side and the water, warm and clear, seems to dare you closer.
