We were headed up to the Russian River area and wasn't sure what we would do given that it was the off season. Not to worry - Getaway Adventures provided such a wonderful and tailored kayaking trip for our family of four. We spent our time in the Bay in front of Jenner and our lovely guide Ben was chock full of info both about the flora and fauna as well as Jenner history. We were so pleased with the trip and Getaway made it really easy - thank you!

I would do kayaking with this group again in a heartbeat. They were very flexible with last min add in guests to our party. They were professional and kind. The tour guide, Camille, was knowledgeable, informative. My entire group really enjoyed the trip it really was a wonderful experience.

We have a beautiful day yesterday kayaking near Jenner! The weather was gorgeous, Randy was a great guide, and we had a wonderful lunch! Randy pointed out lots of wildlife, historical features add natural landmarks. His knowledge of the area was evident and he was very accommodating to what we wanted to do..We can't wait to do the bike wine tour!

Cat was an amazing guide! She was very knowledgeable about the Russian River, the history of Jenner, and the lunch she prepared was absolutely AMAZING. She puts a lot of thought and detail into her excursion trips and it definitely shows. She knew a lot about the wildlife around the river as well. This is something that I would recommend to anyone that is looking for a fun California adventure!

After looking at a number of different kayaking options - most of which only offered self-guided tours - I opted for Getaway Adventures as they offered a guided tour of the Russian River in Jenner, up to the Pacific, which I thought would be the most scenic of the options in the Sonoma/Napa area. I was correct on that front, but what far exceeded my expectations was our absolutely phenomenal guide, Cat. Not only did we have the most gorgeous and fun day on the water, but Cat really went out of her way to point out the birds and animals in the area, as well as interesting bits about the towns, river, ocean, and general area. She was happy for us to look and wander as we liked and would not let us help with anything at all, even over our protests. The lunch she provided next to the water was absolutely phenomenal - multiple types of gorgeous cheeses, breads, fruits, pastries, meats and cheeses, and a wonderful salad. We have lived and traveled all over the world at a high level, and Cat was up there with any guide we have ever had anywhere. I would - and will - recommend her to everyone I know coming to this area. In the couple of weeks we will be spending in the Napa/Sonoma area, even amongst many outstanding wineries and other experiences, this will probably be the highlight of our trip.

We had an awesome time kayaking the russian river estuary. Lots of wildlife including a highlight of a feeding bald eagle. Our guides Camille and Alex were great fun, patient and considerate... they also sourced an absolutely scrumptious picnic lunch.

David was really helpful in organizing our group trip while our company was in Napa for a corporate event. Our international team loved the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors in a way that actually didn't involve wine (it was a much needed break!). I'd highly recommend working with them when planning any activities in the Napa region!
