My fiancƩ and I had an absolute blast with Erik on bud kayaking tour. We learned about (and saw!) all of the wildlife, wilderness, and local history surrounding the Sonoma coast all while taking in the serenity of the river and ocean. Erik is a fantastic conversationalist, and made us feel at absolute ease going down the river with him. We would love to book again!

This was an excellent tour! We got a private kayak tour to celebrate a birthday, which was so special. The river is lovely, we were protected from the open ocean so no big waves or currents, and there were a lot of different mini ecosystems to see from the kayaks. I would 100% recommend this tour (and I don't often do tours). Erik was an excellent guide! The best guides are the locals, he grew up here and shared with us all of the changes he has seen in the recent and distance past. He was super relaxed, fun, and knowledgeable. We happened to get very lucky with weather conditions, and saw a ton of animals. Afterwards Erik made recommendations on delicious food and live music nearby.

Super friendly and super easy experience all around. We booked online on a Wednesday and showed up that Friday. Two guides- knowledgable, positive, easy-going. We loved Erik's commitment to the environment, honoring the wildlife, sharing history, and appreciation of Sonoma... While there are other tour companies in the area, we are so glad we chose Smart Tours. There were others who joined our family of 3 and it was just fine. Everyone was friendly and happy to be out on the water.
