Our Sonoma Coast Kayak Tour takes you to the edge of the beautiful Pacific Ocean where we explore the Russian River as it meets the sea. Birds, seals, the occasional passing whale, and relaxing on the river are the highlights of this great day on the water. Expect to spend approximately 2.5 hours on this tour which includes paddling the river and walking on the beach while gazing out on the Pacific Ocean.

Erik with Smart Tours is an amazing guide for kayaking in the Russian River. Rather than just renting kayaks and attempting to navigate on our own, it was wonderful having a guide like Erik share his knowledge of local habitat and history of the region. It made for a memorable experience for some young first time kayakers visiting from Southern California who will never forget their fun time on the Russian River.

This was the highlight of the weekend trip with my college aged daughter. Because of extremely windy conditions Eric called me the day before our trip and modified the route. He was really knowledgeable about the area, the plants, animals and geography and just a really nice person to spend the day with. Would highly recommend.

The Kayak tour was in a beautiful calm spot on the Russian River, including a cove filled with harbor seals sunning themselves ( and swimming out near to us ). Erik was our tour guide and he was extremely knowledgeable and personable. We would recommend this tour for a low-key family-friendly excursion

This was a great experience - so close to home! My husband and I enjoyed learning about the river and the conservation efforts that are taking place in this beautiful area! The morning mist rendered a surreal backdrop along with the harbor seal 🦭 sightings. As a native to this area, Erik was an excellent tour guide since he was able to share some of his childhood memories of the river! I will definitely be bringing my family here again 😌
