More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto teak deck as limestone towers slide past like slow-moving islands, the bay breathing salt and hush around you. Dawn paints the karsts in cool gray; by midday the water dares you to dive. Onboard the Elite of the Sea, service leans toward ceremonial: polished wood, a private cabin, and the soft clink of glass as the vessel threads Ha Long and Lan Ha bays.
