A humid morning light lifts off the river as the boat slips into a green corridor of mangroves. Roots knuckle the shallows and the water smells of salt and mud; an eagle folds its wings and then dives, daring you to lift your camera. For 4–5 hours the Kilim Karst Geoforest Park shapes the itinerary: narrow channels open into bays ringed by sheer limestone cliffs and small islands, and the guide narrates the shifts between tidal creek and open sea.
