Explore charming Napa Valley while cruising the crisp waters of the Napa River on a stand up paddleboard. Perfect for family, friends, or a combination of both, this rental service includes a paddleboard, paddle, and life jacket. Float by riverbank wineries and restaurants while watching for wildlife.
Begin your adventure in city centre Napa to collect your paddleboard and gear. Learn how to mount and manoeuvre your board and understand the rights of way for river traffic. Then it's time to get into the water, pausing to take a photo of the sweeping city skyline of 19th-century architecture.
Feel the refreshing wind on your face as you paddle through the crisp river water. Watch for the Napa Valley Opera House, first opened in 1880, and the Oxbow Public Market, overflowing with local food vendors and produce. Continue your tour or get a snack at a riverside bakery or restaurant.
Paddle further downstream and watch as the Vaca and Mayacamas mountains appear in the distance. Cruise by the Napa Valley Ecological Reserve and see if you can spot blue herons, otters, beavers, deer, or turtles. Then it's time to head back to the docks to take one last photo and return your gear.
