Along the way you may encounter water birds and wildlife getting ready for the approaching night. While viewing the sunset, guests will be allowed to find their own space to experience the view. These paddles are great for quiet personal meditation time or relaxation and grabbing that perfect Instagram shot. They ask that guests remain mostly quiet (though we don’t expect anyone to be silent) during these trips so that all guests are able to use the float time the way that best serves them.Paddle lasts approximately 2 hours and all paddling equipment is included.

Sunset Float is a guided evening paddle on Falls Lake led by the staff of Two Sisters Adventure. Participants will paddle a short distance to a scenic spot to watch the sun go down, with opportunities to spot local water birds settling in for the night. To participate, you must register and pay in advance, choosing between a single kayak or a two-person canoe. This trip is designed for quiet relaxation, so it is best suited for teenagers and adults rather than active younger children. You must bring your own headlamp or flashlight for the return trip, but all other paddling gear is provided in your registration. This event makes a peaceful Friday night escape from the busy school week, allowing you to disconnect and enjoy the natural beauty of the Triangle right from the water.
