Full Moon Paddles - 2025

Each month, we set out for an exciting evening of paddling led by the soft light of the moon! Potential locations include not only the Lower Merrimack River and the surrounding estuaries, tributaries, and creeks, but also the nearby lakes and ponds, like Lake Gardner or Lake Attitash. With so many different waters to explore, it's no wonder that our Full Moon Paddle is one of our most popular tours! Reserve your spot today!

Tandems kayaks are recommended for beginners. They offer more stability for picture taking and are the better choice (over a single kayak) on a breezy night. 

As with all tours, please arrive at least 1/2 hour before the scheduled departure time, i.e., enough time to sign in, get suited, and fitted for your boat. These trips are timed specifically to work with the tides, so please be punctual .... we cannot wait for late arrivals.

Single Kayak: $65

Double Kayak: $120

Gratuity is not included ... but is always greatly appreciated !

* This year's September 7th paddle is a very special paddle that occurs once a year ... we start out at sunset, paddle out to see the seals, enjoying the Full Moon rise over the ocean and paddle back under the moon light!
