🌊 Natural Lazy River Adventure! 🌿
A true Wine Country experience—powered by nature, not a pump!
Glide effortlessly through winding estuary waters as the incoming tide carries you on a 4-mile round-trip paddle into the heart of an untouched wetland. At times, the channel narrows to just twelve feet, bringing you eye-level with the sights, sounds, and stillness of this thriving tidal ecosystem.
Prefer a little more challenge? Paddle against the tide, breathe in fresh estuary air, and turn your escape into a nature-powered workout.
