Napa Valley River History Kayak Tour: 2 Person Tandem
Description
Beyond its lush natural scenery, Napa Valley also boasts a storied history. Luckily, you can explore both of these elements with the Napa River History Kayak Tour. Under the supervision of an experienced guide, the tour will embark from 680 Main Street, right near downtown Napa. From there, you and your party will be outfitted with kayaks before taking to the serene waters of the Napa River for a journey through the past and present of this unique area. For the following hour-and-a-half to two hours, you will paddle alongside your guide as they give you a run-down of local lore, including tales you’re not likely to read about in any guidebook. You’ll learn about the first settlers to Napa Valley, as well as Napa’s famed wineries and local businesses. Did you know that Napa was established before California was a state? — historical trivia ranging from the amazing to the bizarre.

We had an amazing time with Justin; very knowledgeable and fun. We were lucky enough to be the only 2 people on the 1st morning tour and water conditions were great.
Justin was chill and knew a lot about the history of Napa. Very personable. Woukd definitely recommend if you want a chill kayak tour.
The Kayak hosts were extremely nice & friendly. My wife was jittery with waters, they assured her safety and made her feel comfortable. One small issue. Viator booked us at 11am PST, but we were told the booking was for 1.30pm & apparently this has been a routine occurence for viator bookings. Something to sort out
Thank you for the review, we have contacted Viator about the time issue so hopefully it will be corrected soon. It was very nice meeting you!
Come dressed appropriately as you might get a little wet. Ask about the stops on the paddle. Be prepared to spend an extra hour exploring on your own. The current might be stronger in the afternoon. The tour operator had great stories about Napa’s history that you won’t find in history books.
Getting in and out of kayaks was easy. Justin was a great guide! We enjoyed learning the history and getting some fresh air.
Great experience. Easy to get to and very informative. Our guide was very accommodating and made sure we all participated in the tour. Again great experience
