Glinting in the sunlight, water splashes against craggy boulders and ricochets off kayakers' paddles, misting the passengers who look up and marvel at massive rock formations. Captaining their own inflatable kayak, float-trip passengers wind their way through the clouds of fog that spread over tree-lined rivers. Cyclists rocket their bikes through the woods, craning their heads up to see ancient redwoods as they careen across the forest floor.

These memorable experiences—and more—are made possible because of Redwood Rides. The shop rents gear, provides guides for day trips, and even organizes multi-day excursions for those looking to lose themselves in the beauty of nature.
