Eco Paddle at the Pacific Coast
Meet Time and Place
We check you in at 10:00 am across the street from the Jenner Inn. This gives you ample time to finish your delicious breakfast at your hotel or make the drive up from virtually anywhere in the Northern California region.
Once in Jenner you’ll be fitted with PFD’s and listen to brief safety and paddling instructions.
We paddle off at about 10:30 am, with your guides showing you the sights and explaining some of the flora, wildlife and history. The surrounding scenery of rolling hills and pastures sets quite a scene as we kayak along the shore of this peaceful river heading towards a known Osprey nesting area. From a safe distance we can watch any activity. On the way back, and if nature allows, we’ll be able to spot elusive Snowy Egrets and Blue Heron and most likely, Harbor Seals.
Lunch on the Beach
Once back into the Jenner area, we’ll make a stop at Goat Rock Beach. This is a great spot for us to enjoy our gourmet picnic lunch. A typical menu might include pesto pasta salad, local organic salad greens, fresh baked bread, exotic cheeses, seasonal fruit, and dessert.
After lunch we’ll paddle out to the mouth of the Russian River and see the seals and occasional sea lions that lounge on the beach.
Return
We end at around 2:30 pm and return to our initial launch spot at Jenner.

I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the Jenner Kayaking tour my husband and I took. The harbor seals seemed to find us as interesting as we found them and it was amazing to have them follow us. Best of all, our guide Mary, was wonderful! She was fun bright and engaging and very informative. We could not have had a better time. Please let her know that she did a great job!
We had a blast on this tour. Our guide was great she was on time, and kind. We loved our visit with her. Our booking experience was very easy. We enjoyed our entire tour. It was great to get a glimpse of that little slice of California. We saw a blue heron, an osprey, and a host of harbor seals-what fun!
