Embark on a unique tour of California Wine Country! Hop in a kayak for a full tour along the warm, clean Russian River in Healdsburg. The tour guide will take you through a beautiful scenic route and point out native wildlife while you paddle leisurely through the calm waters. The tour includes one- or two-person kayaks, necessary equipment, safety lesson and lunch.
After a short instruction and safety talk at Memorial Beach, your guide will launch you into the Russian River and share information about the local history of the Healdsburg area. As you paddle, spot local wildlife such as snowy egrets and blue herons, and enjoy the picturesque scenery and surrounding flora. The tour covers approximately 9 miles (14 km), and along the way, stop at a small riverside beach for a picnic lunch and a quick dip in the water. The kayak tour concludes at Wholer Bridge, one of the oldest bridges in the Russian River Valley, where a driver will drive you back to the original departure point.
We loved this trip! It was our first time on the Russian River and found it very mellow with enough variety to keep us interested such as a few small currents. We are calm water kayakers so this was perfect for us. The lunch was delicious and we highly recommend Jillian!

A beautiful time on the Russian River. This tour is the perfect day out, our guide took care of EVERYTHING for us, we just had to show up and start paddling. Jillian took outstanding care of us and was super knowledgeable and fun. Highly recommended.

We had a private tour on the Jenner Coast with Craig. He was friendly and knowledgeable. The trip was absolutely beautiful and the lunch was magnificent. We saw hundreds of harbor seals swimming and sunning on the beach. It was a great workout but luckily the winds were quite calm. Would highly recommend and would certainly do it again!

We had a great time, our guide was fabulous! The day was clear and warm, the Russian River is so picturesque in the fall. I will definitely come back. Thank you, well worth the price.
