This was a great experience - so close to home! My husband and I enjoyed learning about the river and the conservation efforts that are taking place in this beautiful area! The morning mist rendered a surreal backdrop along with the harbor seal 🦭 sightings. As a native to this area, Erik was an excellent tour guide since he was able to share some of his childhood memories of the river! I will definitely be bringing my family here again 😌

As a beginner at kayaking, my first concern was safety and Erik proved to be an expert whom I would highly recommend. He looks at multiple weather forecasts, tide charts, and currents, and having grown up near the Russian River, he knows all the ins and outs of where and when you’ll get the best and safest kayaking experience. What I also liked is that he gives a 100% effort at customer service, and is professional and organized with all the details. He answered all my questions in advance so he’s quick to respond by email. Another bonus is that he’s an enthusiastic naturalist so he knows a lot about the river wildlife (otters, seals) and birds, of which you’ll see many varieties. Since I live in Sonoma County, I also enjoyed his knowledge of local history — not to mention tips on good restaurants. (I’d recommend Cafe Aquatica which is right next door to the boat launch — good food and river views, and live music on weekends.) I plan to paddle with him again and recommend him to my friends, and visitors can relax knowing they’ll have a good time on the beautiful Russian River. - Christine

What an awesome experience! The views were incredible and saw lots of wildlife which made the tour that much more exciting! Erik was very knowledgeable on the area, kayaking and all the animals we saw! We got very lucky and the river was SO calm and no wind!

All of us had been kayaking many times before, but we underestimated the beauty of the Russian River and the wildlife we would see. All of us agreed we had never seen so many birds in one place before. Erik was extremely knowledgeable about the local environs and wildlife and very conscious to not disturb the wildlife, which I appreciate. So many birds, so many seals, and we even saw river otters!
