Quick Details
Paddle by Light of the Moon
Experience the magic of kayaking by the light of the full moon. These tours are only offered for a few nights around the full moon each month. Watch the sunset in the west, then paddle on to see the moon rise in the east and return under its glow.
These tours make for an unforgettable time on the water. We frequently see bald eagles, seals, and other marine life on these tours. Sunset is often the calmest, quietest time of the day.
Shearwater provides stable two-person kayaks, all the necessary kayaking gear, dry storage bags, and professional guide. Our tours include 20-30 minutes of gear adjustment and basic instruction. Expect about two and a half hours on the water on this tour. No kayaking experience is required. However, this is a physical activity and all participants should be prepared to paddle for 2+ hours.
3-hour Moonlight Tours are offered June – August
Start times vary for this trip with changing sunset times. We launch from a marina dock so your feet and shoes stay dry.
