Tourists are boarding a blue boat docked at a pier under a bright, cloudy sky. The Vietnamese flag is visible on the stern of the boat. Some passengers are carrying backpacks, while others have water bottles or other items in hand. There are yellow plastic crates filled with water bottles and what looks like a keg on the dock. The boat has multiple lights on its mast and life vests are stacked by the cabin. The boat's name, "Trip 79," is visible on the side.
