You push off from An Thới’s wooden dock as the morning light slices across a calm, turquoise sea. The canoe rocks like a patient animal, eager to carry you toward outlying limestone islets where reef fingers prick the surface and waves whisper against white sand. Guides check masks and point to dark coral mounds below — the water invites but asks for respect.
