We’re always looking for new ways to experience Arizona’s natural beauty, and Born To Be Wild Adventures, Tours & Rentals offers one of our favorites yet: moonlight kayaking. The Prescott-area rental service offers paddling trips on three different lakes with a single lantern serving as your guiding light.

Despite being a landlocked state, Arizona is surprisingly full of beautiful bodies of water.

With kayaks, canoes, and stand-up paddleboards available for rent, Born To Be Wild operates seven days a week, year-round.

Facebook/Born To Be Wild Adventures Tours & Rentals None of the excursions are guided; instead, your rentals are dropped off at whichever lake you choose.

Moonlight kayaking is offered from May until September, and it’s an experience you’ll never forget.

A single lantern will serve as your guiding light, illuminating the darkness as the sun dips below the horizon.

Lake hours are 6 a.m. until 10 p.m. during the summer months, and moonlight kayaking trips last from 6:30 p.m. until 9:30 p.m.
