Lake Powell offers a desert landscape getaway with beautiful formations and outdoor activities. Nomad Yurts provides yurt cabin rentals for your Lake Powell honeymoon for a comfortable stay. Yurts are a combination of tent and cabin, offering a comfortable place to return to at the end of the day. Here is more information about some romantic activities you and your spouse can participate in during your stay:
Boat Tours and Cruises
Sign up for a cruise or a boat tour to experience red rock formations and canyons. Lake Powell is home to Rainbow Bridge National Monument, which is one of the world’s largest natural bridges, as well as Glen Canyon Dam and slot canyons. Booking a boat tour allows you to leisurely experience the scenery with your spouse while learning more about the history of these areas. Destinations include:
- Rainbow Bridge: A Rainbow Bridge boat tour travels around Padre Bay.
- Antelope Canyon: See the red and orange coloring of the Navajo Sandstone formations.
- Glen Canyon Dam: Learn more about the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam, the second-largest concrete dam in the United States.
For a more tranquil experience, book a private boat tour. Tours last around two hours. Sunset dinner cruises create a romantic atmosphere, allowing the two of you to enjoy a fine-dining experience while you talk about your trip and take pictures of the view.
Paddleboarding and Kayaking
Plan time on the shore or the water during your Lake Powell honeymoon. To unwind with your partner, enjoy the deep waters of Lake Powell by paddleboarding or kayaking. This allows you to explore the landscape at your own pace while cooling off. You can rent equipment such as kayaks and paddleboards from a marina. This makes packing for your trip easier, as it eliminates the need to purchase or bring your own. For some one-on-one time, use a tandem kayak to experience the surrounding formations and inlets together. Other water activities include fishing for bass. After your excursion, clean up in your yurt’s private bathroom, which offers amenities such as a reliable shower temperature, soap, and soft towels.
Private Tours and Hiking
Schedule a private tour to see the formations around Lake Powell. Some glamping experience packages offer guided tours. A private tour allows you and your spouse to experience the scenery of Lake Powell without traveling with strangers, providing additional one-on-one time together. Choosing a sunset or morning tour creates a more romantic experience. Areas to tour include:
- Skylight Arch: This formation allows you to stand on the arch itself, creating a unique photo opportunity to document your trip.
- Coyote Buttes South: Unique sandstone rock formations include the Control Tower and the Witch’s Hat.
- Alstrom Point: This offers an off-road adventure and ends with an overlooking view of Lake Powell.
Some of these locations require a permit to enter, and the tour company is able to help you enter the lottery to receive one. For an independent hiking activity with your partner, explore the Horseshoe Bend trail. It offers a shorter hike to view the Colorado River in the canyon. Hiking to Rainbow Bridge also allows you to see it close up.
Stargazing
With no light pollution, Lake Powell offers clear stargazing, allowing thousands of stars to be seen in the night sky. Rainbow Bridge is a recognized International Dark Sky space. Join a stargazing tour to allow you and your spouse to learn more about the constellations. For a private experience, watch the stars from the shores of Lake Powell or outside of your residence. Bring out comfortable chairs or patio furniture, or use a blanket. You can also stargaze from the comfort of one of our yurts through a conveniently located skylight or sitting on your private deck in front of the propane fireplace.
Schedule Your Lake Powell Honeymoon
To unwind after your activities, spend quiet time together by reading on the couch or playing board games in your yurt. We provide yurts with unique historical themes, including the vintage style of the 1920s and the American Southwest. Instructional videos for how to use your firepit and the split heating and air conditioning unit are also available on our website.
