The boat slips from Tuan Chau Harbor at first light and the limestone karsts of Ha Long Bay rise like weathered sculptures from a green sea. Salt and limestone seem to trade places in the air; gulls cut the silence while the sundeck's Jacuzzi fogs gently in the morning breeze. For seven hours you move through channels punctuated by caves, small beaches and the slow choreography of fishing boats.
