The Petaluma Marsh Tour - You'll feel like you are entering a whole new world when paddling this hidden gem very close to the town of Petaluma. We explore the narrow sloughs accessible only at certain tide levels and paddle our way through grasses, rushes and reeds where birdlife and waterfowl are abundant.
After paddling for 3 hours or so, we’ll then retrace our paddle strokes back through the marsh, to the river and back to our starting point.
We provide single or tandem touring style kayaks for our tours. They are appropriate for beginning paddlers. Appropriate clothing required. Bring a lunch and water.
This tour only happens when the tides are right.

Our staff of guides are experienced tour leaders and paddlers. They also have training in First Aid/CPR, certifications from the ACA, BCU and other paddling-related organizations and love to share the joys of touring our local waterways in a kayak and helping you become a better paddler.
