The transparent kayak offers an unobstructed view of the riverbed, revealing darting fish, curious crawfish, and perhaps even a beaver or river otter gliding by beneath you.

Your guide will share fascinating facts about the local ecosystem and help you capture candid moments along the way. Pause to take a dip in the cool, clear water or simply relax and soak in the tranquil atmosphere.
