OoOoOoo…spooky season is upon us. The next full moon will be on the night of November 2nd (meaning Halloween will be very bright as well!) There’s something about traveling that gets me outside, yearning to soak up every bit of the experience, and that usually means I see many more sunrises and sunsets, and make much more time to gaze at the night sky. Here are 7 intriguing places to be where you can experience the romance and excitement of a full moon! Anything can happen…
Full Moon Desert Drum Circle – Dubai
Founded by an expatriate to Dubai with a passion music and meditation, Dubai Drums gathers locals and tourists a like, and piles them into the desert for intense drumming sessions every full moon. You do not have to be a musician whatsoever – the experience is for whoever is willing to participate! Video of this incredible event is seen above.
Wolf Sanctuary - Full Moon Tour
A small, yet seriously dedicated wolf sanctuary in Pennsylvania. Be sure to call ahead, this is a very intimate event – you’ll walk around the estate and watch the packs in their element. If you get tired, relax by the roaring bonfire the residents build. Read more about the event on their blog.
Havelock Island, India – Full Moon Party
The Full Moon party tradition of the southern Thai islands has oozed over into the Andaman’s on India. These parties celebrate the crazy energy and wild moods some may experience during the full moon – though star-gazing is usually only an afterthought, as many parties are sure to last until sunrise!
Glacier National Park – Snowshoeing by Moonlight
Call ahead for the itineraries. You might find yourself hiking, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing along glowing, snowy paths through the ever greens.
The Pinnacles - Western Australia
This park in the desert of western Australia is even a bit spooky in the midday sun – some pinnacles are strangely human-like. Just imagine what kinds of shadows they might cast!
Day of the Dead Full Moon Ghost Hunt – Saint Petersburg, Florida
Special full moon tours are lead by candle light through downtown historical Saint Petersburg. Tours are short, so it’s a great start to a spooky evening… Find more info and make reservations here.
Mount Lushan - Lushan National Park, China
Get inspired by the same landscapes as Confucius. When the full moon rises in the mist above the Yangtze, enlightenment may not seem so far away. Amazing photo opps, or the perfect mystical stop on a romantic hike.
