You step off the pier as limestone towers push up from the water like slow-moving cliffs, the boat's motor a steady heartbeat beneath a wide, humid sky. The first day unfolds with ocean-slick rock faces, a welcome cocktail on deck, and the tiny slap of oars in a bamboo boat as you edge toward a cavern mouth. Halong Bay moves around you — currents nudging, islands interrupting the horizon — and the crew sets the rhythm.
