More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the tender into teak underfoot and a breeze carrying salt and lemongrass tea. The Rita cruise slides away from Tuan Chau Harbor and a field of limestone karsts rises out of green water—each island a vertical cliff that seems to push the sky aside. Guests move between the shaded sundeck, private balconies, and a pool that mirrors the jagged skyline as the sun folds toward evening.
