You step off the shuttle at Tuan Chau Marina, salt on the air and a horizon of limestone towers leaning into the light. The Hermes’ teak sundeck unfolds ahead — a low hum of engines, clinking glasses at the outdoor bar, and the bay’s karst islands moving like silent sentries as the vessel eases away.
