Additional Information

In addition to its picturesque nature views, Napa Valley is also rich with history. Fortunately, the Napa River History Kayak Tour allows you to delve into both aspects. Under the guidance of a seasoned tour guide, the journey begins from 680 Main Street, conveniently close to Napa’s city center.

At the starting point, you and your group will receive kayaks to navigate the calm Napa River, offering a unique blend of past and present charm of this special area. Over the next one and a half to two hours, you’ll row along with your guide who will share fascinating local anecdotes, featuring stories not typically found in travel brochures.

The tour will educate you about the early settlers in Napa Valley, as well as its famous vineyards and local trades. Fun facts, such as Napa being founded before California gained statehood, are just some of the surprising pieces of history you’ll discover.

Early bird - We had an amazing time with Justin; very knowledgeable and fun. We were lucky enough to be the only 2 people on the 1st morning tour and water conditions were great.

Fun and relaxing educational tour of Napa - Come dressed appropriately as you might get a little wet. Ask about the stops on the paddle. Be prepared to spend an extra hour exploring on your own. The current might be stronger in the afternoon. The tour operator had great stories about Napa’s history that you won’t find in history books.

Great kayaking experience - The Kayak hosts were extremely nice & friendly. My wife was jittery with waters, they assured her safety and made her feel comfortable. One small issue. Viator booked us at 11am PST, but we were told the booking was for 1.30pm & apparently this has been a routine occurence for viator bookings. Something to sort out
