You step from the harbor gangway onto a steel-hulled cruise, sea air lifting the first notes of limestone ahead. For six hours the boat threads between karst towers that rise like old sentinels from the water, their sheer faces daring you to look closer. Lunch is served on deck as islets slide past — fishing boats, caves, and the occasional paddle of a solitary kayak.
