The sea opens like a bright sheet of glass as you push off from the beach—paddle strokes small and steady, the kayak skimming where the water dares you to look deeper. On this one-day excursion through the Kerama Islands, the ocean is both highway and theater: sea turtles cruising below, coral gardens unfolding beneath the surface, and uninhabited spits of sand that invite a slow lunch break.
