Overview
See downtown Napa in its most atmospheric light on a relaxed, small-group paddle timed around sunset. Launch from the Main Street Dock, receive a safety briefing and easy paddling instruction, then follow a local guide along the tidal Napa River. Watch evening reflections spread across the water, hear river stories, and keep an eye out for wildlife before returning to the same dock. Kayak, paddle, and life jacket are included, and no prior experience is required.
Participants should be comfortable sitting in a kayak for approximately two hours and paddling at a relaxed pace on calm river water. No previous kayaking experience is required, but guests should have basic mobility, be able to step into and out of a kayak with assistance, and be comfortable on the water. This tour is not recommended for guests with serious mobility limitations, significant back or balance issues, or anyone unable to sit low in a kayak for the duration of the experience.

The only prerequisite is a healthy spirit of curiosity and adventure.
Regardless of age or skill level you will find that our expeditions offer enough flexibility to make your experience with us safe and rewarding. We will show you proper sea kayaking technique and water safety before leaving the beach. And your expert guides will be with you throughout the adventure to give you pointers and improve your skills.
