MORE DETAILS

Explore the most biologically diverse river in the San Francisco Bay Area with your family!

Our one-way tours are scheduled to ride the 'lazy river' with assistance from our hands-free navigational guide. The water is a warm, calm estuary in a 5 mph zone with always proximity to the shore.

In addition to navigational assistance, our National Geographic-level audio guide shares snippets of ecology, history & culture along the way.

We handle all the equipment and provide a 10-minute shuttle back to the car.

THE BEST FAMILY PADDLE ROUTE IN THE BAY AREA! Nowhere else can you enjoy the luxury of nature, safely, with an abundance of restaurants and shops directly above the dock when you disembark.
