We had such a fantastic time paddling with Erik—this experience was the perfect combination of peaceful, fun, and awe-inspiring. From the moment we set out on the river, he created a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that made it easy to just enjoy the moment and connect with nature.
One of the things I appreciated most was how he took care of capturing great photos throughout the paddle. It allowed us to stay fully present and soak in the beauty around us without worrying about documenting the day—such a thoughtful touch!
What really made the experience special was Erik himself. He grew up in Jenner, so he knows the area inside and out and shares its history and stories with such ease and passion. His knowledge of the river, the wildlife, and the surrounding area added so much depth to the experience.
And the wildlife! We were lucky enough to witness an incredible bird moment—a bald eagle knocking a fish out of an osprey’s talons right over the river. It was like watching a live nature documentary!
If you're looking for a memorable and meaningful way to explore the Russian River, this experience is an absolute gem. Highly recommend!
Our Sonoma Coast Kayak Tour takes you to the edge of the beautiful Pacific Ocean where we explore the Russian River as it meets the sea. Birds, seals, the occasional passing whale, and relaxing on the river are the highlights of this great day on the water. Expect to spend approximately 2.5 hours on this tour which includes paddling the river and walking on the beach while gazing out on the Pacific Ocean.
