Summer Moonlight Flotillas

Since 1994, Adventure Rents has been offering both public and private guided summer moonlight flotillas, on or near the full moons of summer, complete with catered dinners on the river beach. We recommend some prior boating experience before paddling on a nighttime flotilla. Children are allowed on an individual basis, please call for more information.

In late afternoon, about an hour before sunset, we set up tables, chairs and benches around a large fireplace on the river beach. A local caterer provides a delicious picnic dinner complete with dessert and soft beverages. After dinner, around sunset, our experienced guides lead the group (wearing glow rings for both fun and safety) into the Gualala River estuary towards the setting sun.
We often stop at the far end of the estuary to look at the final colors of the sunset over the ocean. Boaters stretch their legs prior to the return paddle and sometimes a game of glow ring "frisbee" ensues. Meanwhile, the full (or almost full) moon rises over the coastal ridges. Paddling back to the takeout is lit by the moon...the river transformed into a magical, shimmering mirror. Boaters return to the take-out beach, now lined with glowing torches and gather around the warmth of the fire for river tales, music and hot beverages.

Advance reservations required! $50 Adults includes Adventure Rents boat rental and dinner including gratuity. Boating only at regular 2-hour rates. Bring your own boat -$5 participation fee.
