What you will experience
With reduced visibility and without daytime heat, the river takes on a different character. The night-canoeing programme is described for full-moon nights and is distinct from the daytime Penacova–Coimbra descent.
Along the route
The proposal centres on a supervised night descent on the Mondego. Moon phase, date and river conditions form part of planning the outing; the daytime route and timings should not be assumed.

Requirements & preparation
Allow for reduced visibility while paddling. The group's experience and each participant's suitability should be considered when preparing the programme.
