More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A small wooden boat parts the mangrove like a page being turned; sunlight slips through a ribcage of roots while the river narrows and the limestone karsts rise, abrupt and pitted. The guide cuts the engine to let the water's hush replace the motor's hum; kingfishers dart and eagles wheel overhead, sizing up the river's offerings.
