You step off the minivan in Dương Đông, ocean air already working on your hair. Minutes later a small boat slips away from the pier and the islands of the An Thoi archipelago appear like low green humps on blue water. The day alternates between quiet paddling in a canoe along sheltered bays, shallow snorkeling above coral gardens, and a moment of vertigo on the long cable car crossing to Hòn Thơm where the sea unfurls beneath you.
