Book Your Full Moon Paddle

The Canyon, by Moonlight.

Launch as the moon rises over the Superstition Mountains and paddle out onto calm, glowing water. The canyon walls light up, the lake goes quiet, and the whole night feels a little magical.

Glow gear is included and no experience is needed. It's perfect for date nights, friends, families and anyone who has never paddled after dark.
