You step off the fast boat into a wind that tastes like salt and fresh coral, and the island’s raw cliffs rise like reef-cut sculptures around you. The driver folds the map away and you move through narrow lanes toward the first viewpoint — a headland where Kelingking’s famous reef‑shaped promontory drops into a bowl of turquoise. The view arrests you. Cameras come out; the guide points to the trail that snakes down toward the sand.
