A Lifelong Connection

The river wasn’t just a playground; it was a world of wonder. Sometimes, I’d become a fearless explorer, navigating through hidden coves and imagining epic journeys. 

Other times, I’d sit humbled by its grandeur, listening to the symphony of birdsong and watching the sunlight dance on the rippling water. 

This sense of peace and connection is something I still cherish to this day.

Over the years, I’ve rescued many stranded creatures – industrious beavers, clumsy birds, and even the occasional injured turtle. 

It’s a testament to the vibrant life that thrives within the river’s embrace.

My passion for this extraordinary place has grown into Napa Valley Kayak.

From Hobby to Passion: The Birth of a Business

My first taste of kayaking came as a child on the American River. But it was a fellow tour operator who sparked the fire,asking if I’d ever considered leading kayak tours myself. 

Before I knew it, I was immersed in the world of kayaking,leading my first tour on the sparkling waters of Lake Hennessy.

As my business grew, I saw an opportunity to create something truly special. 

In a landscape where reliability and personal connection were often lacking, I wanted to offer a kayaking experience that was dependable, informative, and truly captured the heart of the Napa Valley.

My vision was to share the breathtaking scenery and fascinating history of the Napa River in a way no one else could. 

I knew there was a demand for a trustworthy, knowledgeable company who genuinely cared about the river and the people who explored it.
