Great experience, friendly and helpful staff. Justin was our guide and he was very knowledgeable about the area, its history and wildlife. The kayaking was easy and fun, and we saw lots of birds and other wildlife along the way. Highly recommend Enjoy Napa Valley Kayaking!
Justin was an excellent guide! Never having Kayaked before, my family felt totally safe and secure with his insructions and managed the water craft smoothly. Early Monday morning and no one was out on the water except us so we got to hear all about the history and a few special stories and see some wildlife up close and personal! Be sure to say hi to George, Gracie and Sven!

We rented a Tandem Kayak for two hours and it was a great experience. The staff was friendly and helpful in getting us set up and showing us how to properly use the kayak. The river was calm and easy to navigate, and we had a beautiful time enjoying the scenery and wildlife. We highly recommend Enjoy Napa Valley Kayaking if you're looking for a fun and relaxing outdoor activity in the area.

Justin was very knowledgeable about Napa history, and so funny with stories not often heard on other tours! Kayaking was very easy going and relaxing during the tour. Then we were able to explore on our own for another hour. We definitely recommend this tour.
