More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A speedboat cuts through the glassy morning sea and you feel the bay open around you—needle-like karsts rising from low water as if the ocean itself is staking a claim. The engine’s rumble fades as the tour slows for a canoe, and the limestone cliffs of Panak and Hong Islands crowd close, their cave mouths and mangrove channels daring you to look deeper.
