Daniel Miller,
United StatesI went with my girlfriend and we wanted something calm, not too packed with activities. The best part for us was sitting outside when the cruise left the port and just watching the bay slowly appear. We chose the bamboo boat at Luon Cave because it felt more relaxing than kayaking. The water was still, the cliffs were close, and it felt like a small hidden place. After lunch, we didn’t rush around much, just enjoyed Titop Island and took a few sweet photos together.
