Fun Things To Do in Napa Other Than Winetasting
Escape the crowds and discover a quieter side of Napa Valley.
Just south of town, the Napa River winds through thousands of acres of protected tidal wetlands, where peaceful waterways, abundant birdlife, and spectacular sunsets create an unforgettable evening cruise on the water.
Your private guided sunset cruise is led by a licensed charter captain and explores the scenic Napa-Sonoma Marshes and the San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Along the way, you’ll enjoy cool evening breezes, changing colors across the sky, and excellent opportunities to spot herons, egrets, pelicans, hawks, and other local wildlife. It’s not unusual to spend long stretches without seeing another boat.
As the sun slowly disappears behind the western hills, we’ll make a leisurely return up the Napa River, ending the cruise with one of the most beautiful views in Napa Valley.
Private sunset cruises depart by reservation from the Cuttings Wharf Public Boat Launch on the Napa River.
