Full Moon Night Paddle
Trip Highlights
Full Moon Paddle to the Boulder Islands
Island Campfire + Desert Night Experience
LED Kayaks + Peaceful Night Waters
Description
Experience Lake Mead like almost no one else ever does—under the glow of a full moon. This one-of-a-kind night paddle takes you out to the stunning Boulder Islands, where the desert quiets, the water turns glassy, and the entire landscape is lit by moonlight.
Launching in illuminated kayaks, you’ll glide across calm water as the moon rises over the horizon, casting a soft, surreal glow across the lake. With minimal boat traffic and cooler evening air, the experience feels peaceful, almost otherworldly.
This isn’t just a kayak tour—it’s a chance to disconnect from everything and step into something rare.
Paddle along the shoreline of the Boulder Islands, where rocky formations and quiet coves take on a completely different character at night. Then pull up to shore for a truly immersive desert moment—gathering around a crackling campfire, enjoying warm treats, and taking in the stillness of the desert under a sky full of stars.
Out here, away from the noise, you’ll feel the kind of calm that’s hard to find anywhere else.
Whether you’re a first-time paddler or an experienced adventurer, this tour is designed to be relaxed, approachable, and unforgettable.
Spots are limited and only offered around the full moon—making this a rare experience you don’t want to miss.
