Nature enthusiasts all over the Valley are counting the days until Liberty Wildlife’s first-ever Cruise for Wildlife.

The cruise will be led by Clint Sutter, certified captain and Lake Pleasant expert, who will share his knowledge about the surrounding area and the native peoples who once inhabited it. If timing is right, guests may encounter wild bald eagles and other Arizona wildlife as they explore miles of hidden canyons and scenic shorelines. Aurora, Liberty Wildlife’s very own bald eagle, will join the crew on board for complimentary photo ops. 

All proceeds from the fundraiser will go directly to the organization, which leads Arizona in the effort to rehabilitate and conserve the natural world around us. The nonprofit rescues and rereleases thousands of animals each year and through volunteers, donations and fundraisers, is able to continue preserving the sacred desert landscape we often take for granted.

This catered event will take place on Out of the Blue, Lake Pleasant’s most elegant vessel. The luxurious 73-foot Skipperliner is equipped with a gorgeous rooftop deck and unforgettable panoramic views of the lake.

Tickets are $150 per person. To purchase tickets, call Liberty Wildlife at (480) 998-0230. All major credit cards are accepted.
