Full Moon Float
Come join us on our world famous Full Moon Float! Spend a magical evening paddling the Mississippi River and enjoy fine dining in a unique and unparalleled natural setting.
At our early evening meet up in Downtown STL, we’ll outfit you with everything you’ll need for the evening and shuttle you to our put-in upstream. Remember, no paddling experience or special equipment is necessary, we’ve got you covered! Our boat captains will then guide you along the river in our extraordinary 29 foot voyageur canoes until you arrive at a beautiful and uninhabited river island just in time for sunset and the “magic hour”. You’ll have time to explore the beach, take a swim, search for arrowheads, spot eagles, or simply sit back and crack a cold one while a “campfire gourmet” dinner is being prepared for you. After dining around the campfire, you can enjoy sharing stories with your new river friends, stargazing and soaking up the light of the full moon before paddling home. This Big Muddy Adventures signature trip is truly a night to remember!
