Go with the flow. Ride the tide. Find the vibe. This is a one-way tour on an outgoing tide, perfect for friends, family, a Saturday date, or solo outing! Make friends with the wetlands and the wildlife, join in a sauna + cold plunge at Sundrop Sauna to refresh your entire self!

Join the crew from The Floathouse for a one-way, two-hour glide downriver in Hobie pedal kayaks—powered by your legs and the outgoing tide. This slow-lane journey follows the Petaluma River south of town, slipping quietly through hidden wetlands and tidal habitat that most people never see, and that can’t be accessed any other way.
As the tide carries you along, you’ll pedal approximately six miles, moving effortlessly through a living landscape of reeds, birds, and broad skies. Egrets lift off ahead of you, herons stand sentinel along the banks, and the river widens into its wilder self. Along the way, we’ll share stories of this working tidal slough—its ecology, its rhythms, and why this stretch of river matters.
At the finish, reward yourself with the optional Refresh Sesh at Sundrop Sauna. Step into the heat, rinse, reset, and leave feeling energized—inside and out.
Beginner-friendly. Unforgettable.
Be part of nature—and let the tide do the work.
Book online and relax! ($85 for downriver run, $125 for downriver run + sauna refresh sesh) Includes all gear, snacks and drinks at the sauna, and sauna & cold plunge experience. Bring towel, swimming suit, slides. Sauna and cold plunge experience runs from 3 pm to 4:30 pm.
Hobie pedal kayaks provided. Transportation details, meeting point, and sauna timing shared after registration. Note: Most folks arrange for their own transportation back to town, but with advance notice, one of our staff members or volunteers can give you a ride.
