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.

For example, the Prescott area alone boasts three sprawling lakes - Watson, Willow, and Goldwater - and you can explore them all with Born To Be Wild Adventures.
With kayaks, canoes, and stand-up paddleboards available for rent, Born To Be Wild operates seven days a week, year-round.

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.
