We rented kayaks for 2 hours. Their dock is right downtown Napa on the river. Their equipment is top notch and they were very friendly and attentive. A very fun and worthwhile experience. Highly recommended.

"Excellent Service with Paddleboard Rental"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5

If you want to spend some time on the river, book with Justin and his company! As I had taken the guided tour with Justin on a prior visit (and highly recommend it), I just rented a paddle board for a couple of hours. Lily was helpful in getting me going, and when I returned to the dock. She offers a guided eco-tour on paddle boards. I found both of them passionate about the river, and look forward to another rental on my next trip here. Highly recommended!
