Carneros Estuary Self-Guided Trip

Experience Napa Valley by Kayak or Paddleboard Kayak through the estuary of Napa Valley in the Carneros wine region. You’ll experience Wine Country from a whole new perspective, from the peaceful estuary to the waters that nourish some of the world’s finest wines. Propelled by the tide for 2 of 3.2 miles - immerse yourself in pristine nature, with a hands-free audio guide that brings the landscape to life. As you paddle, short 30-second stories unfold around you—seamlessly synced to your location. Discover what’s hidden in plain sight through brief narratives of local history, ecology, culture, and geology. Explore at your own pace with built-in navigational guidance by local winemakers that lead you through meandering wetlands. • Glide through calm waters in our premium Liquid Logic tandem kayaks, designed for maximum comfort with elevated seats and back support—perfect for beginners and seasoned paddlers alike. • We strive to showcase the breathtaking "low light" of the morning or sunset hours, over Napa’s estuary, which are home to migratory birds and a serene ecosystem that comes alive in the golden light. • Discover Napa’s origins as a thriving fishing village and learn how its unique topography and seasonal floods have shaped the region’s winemaking traditions. • Feel the relaxed currents as we paddle through the secluded Fagan Marsh to the confluence of Steamboat Slough and the Napa River, culminating in a smooth, tide-assisted meandering loop.
