This Sunset Kayak Tour Is The Most Magical Thing You’ll Do All Summer In Arizona

Not only is sunset and its subsequent moonlit glow the most magical time of day here in Arizona, but it’s also by far the coolest - especially during the warmer months. Go Paddle AZ on Lake Pleasant has combined two of our favorite activities - kayaking and admiring incredible desert sunsets - into one epic adventure. Check it out, because you won't find a whole lot of things as amazing as a sunset/nighttime kayak tour in Arizona!

Go Paddle AZ offers an ethereal evening kayak excursion on Lake Pleasant, and it's the perfect way to enjoy some quiet time on the water.

Arizona is magical any time of day, but there’s something about sunset that just amplifies the invigorating buzz.

You'll have plenty of time to witness an iconic Arizona sunset.

Brilliant sapphires, pinks, and amber hues form a colorful blanket overhead, reflecting on the water for an unforgettable evening. On nights when the moon is out early, the moonlight reflects off the surface of the lake with an eerie, tranquil beauty.

Single kayaks, as well as tandem, are available for hourly rentals and the pricing is outlined on the website, linked below.

Please arrive at the marina prior to 6 p.m., as that's when the last rentals happen. They need to be returned by 7 p.m., so the earlier, the better!

Sunset paddles go from early May to late August, so be sure to check the website linked below for exact dates for this year.

Paddling is a fantastic way to get some exercise in without feeling like you're breaking a sweat at all. It's even better when done at night, when the temperatures are mild and the water is peaceful.

Go Paddle AZ also offers stand-up paddleboard rentals and guided yoga sessions.

Test your balance and quiet your mind simultaneously as the gentle current rocks you side to side.

After-hours paddling is on Fridays and Saturdays, so plan accordingly!
