This was an excellent outdoor adventure to accompany our wine tasting trip to the Napa/Sonoma area. After doing wineries for 2 days, we were ready for a break. It was about an hour drive to the coast but was a beautiful drive. We have never kayaked before and once my husband and I got into a pattern it was easy, peaceful and breathtaking scenery. A few tips: you WILL get wet, especially if you are a novice kayaker like me. I assumed I would just get a few splashes on my feet provided we didn't tip- um no! The way I paddle I was constantly throwing water on myself, and my poor hubby in the back! Wear warm clothes- it's chilly in this area. Bring clothes (including underwear) to change into after. Eric takes lots of pictures for you and is such a sincere lover of this area he was an amazing tour guide. I highly recommend this tour!
