About this Event


Explore the Meadowlands during sunset and watch the moon rise over Manhattan!

Adventurous kayakers will enjoy this popular group tour through the Sawmill Creek Wildlife Management Area at dusk with our experienced guides. All “Mooners” take place on incoming tides.

Register early because these tours sell out!

EXPERIENCED PADDLERS, Adults 18+ only.
Meet and check in at the Laurel Hill Paddling Center, 1/2 hour before trip departs. For tour tips, and what to wear, click here.

Tickets are available to rent one of our kayaks, or bring your own!

*NOTE: For those who would like to bring their own boats, traditional or PVC kayaks perform best in the waters of Laurel Hill. It is recommended that foldable kayaks be models that are specified as suitable for choppy water. Not every foldable kayak is appropriate or sturdy enough for live current/choppy water paddling. Inflatable kayaks are generally not recommended as they could risk puncture in the tall grasses and may be hindered if the wind gusts. If unsure, we recommend you rent one of ours.

All boats MUST have night navigation lights. If bringing your own boat, please also bring navigation lights (red, green, white). We have limited supply at the paddling center and may not have availability to loan you. Feel free to bring a flashlight or headlamp too!

Refund policy: We do not honor refunds for No-Shows. If you cannot make your date/time we can transfer your ticket to another date with advance notice. If you wish to get a refund for a date you cannot attend, we require you contact us at least 24 hours beforehand. Weather: If weather is inclement (thundertorms, high winds) or there's heavy cloud cover, we will cancel the trip and refund you the night before or within 2 hours before the event time.

A note about price increases. Please forgive us for raising the prices slightly! We strive to always give you the best tour we can and to keep our fleet (and our guides!) in good working order. All rates are considered tax deductible donations to Hackensack Riverkeeper a 501(3)(c) organization.
