The speedboat slips away from Tonsai Pier and the cliffs rise like slow-moving waves—vertical limestone that the sea has been chewing at for millennia. You feel wind and spray, the hull cutting toward small bays where water trades color from jade to cobalt. By midmorning the boat threads between islands; swifts chatter high on ledges above Viking Cave and the captain eases into a sheltered lagoon for a first swim.
