A low-slung boat slips from the sand at Tanjung Rhu and the world tightens to a ribbon of green. Mangrove roots reach like hands into tannin-dark water; herons stalk the mud while limestone cliffs rise folded and scarred by time. Over two hours a private guide steers through narrow channels and wider lagoons, pausing for caves, eagle roosts and a short swim in the Andaman Sea.
