This see-through kayak is a must-do experience for anyone who loves water activities. At Trip Jaunt, we love to surf and SUP (stand-up paddleboard) and do it as often as possible. The team has seen clear paddleboards in cottage country but hasn’t tried it as yet.
We recently learned that there is an incredible see-through kayak experience in Arizona. We are adding it to our list when we can travel to the US again. Check it out!
