As we paddled along the edge of the hilly limestone islands blanketed with green foliage and occasional Rock Island white lilies, our small group of kayakers didn’t encounter another boat or person in the crystal-clear waters. It was so quiet you could hear the reef crabs tottering on the outcrops and the calls of birds swooping above.
