Paddle through pristine waters in transparent kayaks that let you see straight down to the sea floor, coral reefs, or underwater wildlife. These crystal-clear vessels create the illusion of floating on air while you glide over shallow tropical waters, mangrove channels, or cenotes. Perfect for photography and marine life observation.

“I felt like I was floating in a water glass last week, when I paddled across Medina Lake in a clear plastic kayak. Below me, just green-blue water, pierced by flashes of sunlight. Above me, blue sky like a water color painting. I was hoping to get a glimpse of sea serpents and mermaids, but all I really saw was some undulating aquatic plants, rocks and deep water.”
