My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this Kayaking tour. Erik is very personable and I agree with my wife's words, "It was like kayaking with an old friend." Erik let us go at our own pace and his knowledge of the area and of the wildlife greatly enhanced our experience. The scenery was beautiful and it was just a gorgeous day to be on the water. I highly recommend this to young and old alike, experienced or first time kayaker. Thanks Erik for an awesome time!

What an amazing day kayaking with such an awesome guide Erik. This was the highlight of our trip to the coast. I cannot say enough great things about the experience. Erik is very knowledgeable and a great guide. And the scenery was amazing. I never write reviews but this one warranted one. I highly recommend!

We had fantastic time. We really appreciated all information about clothings and tips we received by email prior to our to be prepared to have a good experience despite the weather and it was also very helpful to locate the meeting point.
The day of the tour the weather “collaborated” as it was a beautiful sunny morning and not very windy day.
Eric is very knowledgeable and we learn a lot about the area! We loved kayaking and we are looking to do it again with more friends!

We enjoyed every minute of our kayaking tour with Erik. A great way to see nature, even for the inexperienced kayaker.. The beautiful calm waters and the brisk temperatures were a welcome change of pace after a few days in Napa. Loved seeing the variety of birds and of course the seals! Erik is knowledgeable about this beautiful area and we were happy recipients of all that he shared.

Wonderful experience and amazing guide! Erik was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about both the area and local wildlife. You get the best of both words on this tour- the river as you paddle upstream and the ocean, where you end the tour. I highly recommend it!

This was a truly memorable kayaking experience. Worth every penny. Our guides Eric and Tim were knowledgeable, attentive, interesting, and funny. They took care of every participant no matter what the kayaker’s skill level. We saw amazing wildlife including hundreds of seals and sea lions. Our family of six ranged in age from 13 to 70 — each one of us thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

Our kyaking tour with Eric was great! He shared an amazing amount of knowledge about the area while keeping us on an easy paddling pace. The weather was perfectly cool, since we were looking for relief from a heat wave, and we were thrilled to see a bald eagle, harbor seals with their pups and numerous water birds. This is a must-do for anyone visiting the Sonoma County coastline.

Our Kayak tour was the highlight of our trip to Northern California! The scenery, the river, the Pacific Ocean and the wildlife were spectacular! And our guides Eric and Tim were incredibly knowledgeable and warm and friendly - they made us feel more like friends than tourists! Can’t wait to return and tour with these guys again!
