More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off into gray-green water beneath sheer limestone pillars that rise like ancient towers from the sea. The kayak rocks gently as the guide threads the group toward a narrow throat of rock; light filters in, and the water murmurs encouragement as it slips into a hidden hong—a lagoon guarded by stone.
