What to Expect

Launch at dusk for a guided full moon paddle on the quiet, flat waters of Tully Lake. We’ll ease into an unhurried pace along protected shorelines and coves, keeping lights low to preserve night vision while guides set a calm rhythm and offer simple night‑navigation tips. Expect a relaxed evening on flatwater with moments to pause, listen for nocturnal wildlife, and enjoy the moonrise reflected on the lake.

Highlights

  • Peaceful night paddle on flatwater ideal for soaking in the sights and sounds of summer.
  • Full‑moon glow and starry skies with minimal ambient light for a memorable experience.
  • Guided small‑group outing focused on night safety, quiet water etiquette, and simple navigation.
  • Shoreline pauses and coves that offer sheltered viewing and time to take in the scene.

Who This Trip Is For

Great for paddlers ages 12+ who are comfortable maintaining steady boat control on flatwater after dark. Prior tour experience is helpful but not required; participants should be comfortable following guide instructions and minimizing artificial light to protect group night vision.
