The Bohemia River, coursing through Maryland’s Eastern Shore, offers a magical setting for paddle enthusiasts seeking a night under the stars. Kula SUP’s Full Moon Paddle is a must-do for those craving a serene, yet invigorating, outdoor experience. As twilight fades, participants launch onto calm waters, illuminated intermittently by glow sticks and headlamps, creating an otherworldly glow with every stroke. This guided night paddle emphasizes tranquility, with the river’s gentle current and reflective surface enhancing the sense of connection with nature.
What makes this trip truly stand out is the dynamic interplay of natural elements: the full moon’s silvery light shimmering on the water, the subtle sounds of nocturnal wildlife, and the expansive sky overhead.
