After some time, have a seafood meal in the dining room while taking in the stunning views of the bay, where thousands of sculpted limestone islands rise out of the water like dragon's teeth. The journey's first stop is Cua Van Fishing Village, where guests can take a relaxing bamboo boat ride through floating homes that include a museum and a school. Alternatively, you can choose to explore the village on a kayak (free for a two-night excursion). Next, go to Tien Ong Cave, an old cave that has fossils indicating human habitation between 10,000 and 8,000 BC. Come back on board for canapés and sunset cocktails.
