Rent a Kayak on the River

Napa River kayak rentals provide a relaxed way to enjoy the outdoors in this beautiful valley. Departing right from the heart of downtown Napa, your kayak rental lets you experience a different perspective on the town’s shops, restaurants, and wineries while you take in the breathtaking views of the mountain ranges around you. Be on the lookout for snowy egrets, otters, beavers, great blue herons, and turtles during your river trip. You can even go fishing from your kayak, with over 50 different species of fish to catch. During your adventure, paddle past docks, boat ramps, green open space, and walking trails that run along the river.

For a guided river experience, take a Napa river history kayak tour and learn about the history of the valley, local wildlife, and of course, wine! Professional tour guides make your kayak experience easy, providing stable kayaks that are well-suited to beginners, and showing you a side of Napa that few people know. Kayaking is a great activity for all fitness and experience levels; the whole family can participate.
