Sunset Paddle at Hirundo

Join us for a beautiful scenic sunset paddle along the idyllic Dead and Pushaw Streams. This is a great time to see some crepuscular wildlife. We may see beaver, muskrat, eagles, herons, deer, and even moose on our journey. No matter what wildlife we see or miss, we are sure to see a spectacular sky as the sun sets.

This paddle will be held flotilla-style with canoes and kayaks. You may use one of our boats, or bring your own. Hirundo provides life jackets and all equipment as needed.

Tickets:

$18/adult (age 16 and up)

$8 for a child age 8-15.

Children under 8 are not permitted, for safety reasons.

Please reserve your spot by purchasing a ticket. Tickets are limited . Questions? Email YnJpYW5uYSB8IGhpcnVuZG9tYWluZSAhIG9yZw==
