About This Adventure

With LED lights for safety and camaraderie, this unique 2-mile adventure promises a memorable evening of paddling and socializing.
The ultimate experience in paddling! Join us for a sunset paddle to Huddy Park in Toms River where we will beach our boards and walk up to Battle River Brewing Co. for some drinks and socializing. Your ticket includes one drink from Battle River Brewing. We will return to the boards at 9:00 PM to paddle back to Money Island Beach under the glow of the Full Moon and we will pass out LED lights for you to wear while paddling back. All paddlers must have a group of at least 2 or 3 when heading back that you must stay with for safety. Experience required! No first time paddlers. It is a 2 mile paddle each way, and while not a race, it will take some stamina to complete.
You may want to pre-order your food for pick up at 7pm. These are the restaurants: A Thyme for All Seasons Taco Tastic Capone's Oi Sushi and various dessert carts
