Description:

Set out on a leisurely kayaking adventure as you paddle along a scenic stretch of the rushing Russian River, starting in downtown Healdsburg and winding your way downstream to the Wohler Bridge. Tackle gentle rapids and keep your eyes peeled for wildlife before refueling over a gourmet picnic lunch.

Meet your guide in charming Healdsburg and hop in a car to shuttle your pick-up vehicle down to your eventual pull-out location. Head back to Memorial Beach and get a quick safety briefing plus tips on how to paddle, maneuver, and steer your kayak before buckling your life jacket and putting in.

Cruise at a gentle pace through the tight stretches and wide open expanses of this iconic Northern California waterway, watching the passing scenery change from rolling hills to swaths of sun-drenched vineyard as you go. Challenge your skills in some easy, not-too-intimidating Class I rapids where small creeks funnel into the river, and keep your eyes on the banks to spot snowy egrets, blue herons, and even turtles or otters sunning themselves in the shallows.

Steer toward shore and climb out your kayak, drying off as you linger on the beach over a delectable picnic lunch. Tuck into a gourmet spread featuring artisan sandwiches, pasta salad, organic greens, seasonal fruits, and locally baked desserts before jumping back in the boats for the final paddle down to Wohler Bridge.
