The boat eases out of Duong Dong harbor with the island pine and casuarina trees sliding past, the sea flattening into bands of turquoise and cobalt. On this six‑hour loop you’ll drop anchor at shallow reefs where colorful damselfish and parrotfish dart through living coral, then drift toward May Rut’s sheltered lagoon to swim and explore tidal pools.
