Description
Join for a Full Moon Paddle on Strangford Lough. Firstly, the full moon is unique to witness from the water and no better place to do so, than from a kayak, SUP or canoe on a flat sea.
In astrology, the March full moon is called the Worm ‘Blood’ Moon, Native Americans called this last full moon of winter the worm moon after trails that would appear in the newly thawed ground.
Departing at twilight you will be guided by an instructor for a paddle out onto Strangford Lough and around the islands. With a favourable forecast, they hope to have a great view of the stars and Moon. They'll aim to stop and have a chat with their physicist who will entertain you with lots of moon related facts and folklore. After that, you'll return to base for some hot chocolate & treats.
Time: Meeting Allow 15 Minutes to get parked and kitted up, your tour will start shortly after. Wear swimsuit under your clothes if borrowing a wetsuit to avoid us witnessing two full moons!
