More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The day begins at Tuan Chau Marina with the boat idling against a slow swell; limestone towers rise like ancient fortresses from the emerald water as the vessel threads between them. Onboard, a mini pool and sun deck offer easy comfort while the radar of seabirds and the occasional fishing boat keep you aware that this is still working water, not a theme park.
