Ishigaki, Japan

Manta rays glide through cleaning stations off this Yaeyama Islands hub in numbers rare anywhere else in Japan, drawing serious divers from around the world for a close encounter most only see on film. Kabira Bay's black-pearl farms and impossibly clear, multi-hued water are protected from swimming to preserve the ecozystem, best seen instead from a glass-bottom boat. Egrets and herons crowd the island's mangrove river mouths, while a beach-forward, laid-back pace sets the whole island apart from mainland Japan. Japan's tropics, genuinely.

Another great trip with SeaDream. We so enjoyed the service & attention to detail. Sara J.California
I hate Commercial Cruises. So I reluctantly signed up for a SeaDream, and after a week on the boat, I could not think of one thing that was not done to perfection. The food was great, the staff was spectacular, and having only 50 couples made this a private yacht cruise. I have signed up for my second cruise, and probably will only Yacht with SeaDream in my future. Pat M.Florida
