Selected Highlights
Full Moon Paddle
Description
Join for a Full Moon Paddle on Strangford Lough. Firstly
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.
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, we 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!
Nb. They are also now offering Full Moon Boat Trips on the same dates!
