You step off the long-tail into a hush of mangroves; the boat slips between dark prop roots and the air smells faintly of salt and damp leaf rot. Birds call from above while guides point toward a limestone face jutting like a ship’s hull—the so-called Ghost Cave—its mouth rimmed with dripping stalactites.
