Transparent Kayak Sea Discovery
Instead of only looking at the Atlantic from the surface, in Tarajalejo you can glide along the coast with part of the seascape right beneath you. e-KayakCanarias runs this transparent kayak experience using electric propulsion, so you can focus on the sea and the seabed below instead of paddling. No diving required.
The transparent hull lets you see the water as you glide along the coast, and it's the electric propulsion that moves the kayak forward — according to the operator, that's exactly what makes it suitable for people who have never kayaked before, since there's no need to paddle. The paddle stays on board only as backup, in case it's ever needed. Before getting in the water, the guide explains how the kayak works and the basic safety points; after that, the tour moves at an easy pace along the coast of Tarajalejo, in the south of Fuerteventura.
This isn't a rowing trip or a fitness test — it's a different way of getting close to the sea, looking down as much as looking at the horizon, while the electric propulsion does the work of moving forward.

No paddling, all focus on the sea
The kayak doesn't rely on your strength to move forward: electric propulsion takes care of that, so there's no need to paddle. That difference frees up your attention for what's happening around and beneath the kayak instead. The transparent hull turns the ride itself into part of the experience, not just the destination.
The ocean isn't just their job
Jenny and Roberto are the ones who welcome groups in Tarajalejo, and it shows quickly that the sea isn't just where they work: they're both into surfing, and whenever they can, they swap the kayak for a board to stay in the water. They run each tour without rushing, keeping an eye on the group — and in Roberto's case, his previous work on offshore platforms, where safety and protocol are part of daily life, shows in how he approaches every outing.
For them, showing people the transparent kayak is also about sharing their own way of enjoying the ocean — and that part, more than the seabed itself, is what stays with people.
