More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step aboard just after sunrise, the limousine easing out of Hanoi as the road opens to rice paddies and then water. By late morning the cruise slips between limestone towers—limestones that rise like ancient columns, daring you to peer over the rail. The sundeck hums with live music; the Jacuzzi bubbles while sampans tuck into quiet coves.
