Here’s a great way to tour Sonoma for the day — paddle down the Russian River in an inflatable canoe. Take the family, take the dog, or just take it easy and roll down the river with your feet up over the tubes … all for half the regular price.
This eco-adventure takes place along the most secluded section of the Russian River, starting in Healdsburg, in Sonoma County. You can stop at swimming holes along the way and play on rope swings, or keep an eye out for owls, egrets, heron, osprey, kingfisher and ducks.
Here’s what’s included.
- A SOAR inflatable canoe
- Two paddles
- Life jackets for all passengers
- One dry bag per canoe to keep personal articles dry
- Return shuttle from Wohler Bridge ending point to your car
WHAT’S THE DEAL: Get 50% off a Russian River Paddle Trip in an Inflatable Paddle Canoe from Russian River Adventures — 50% Off, pay $5 – $25 (reg. $10 – $50).
HOW: Free email sign-in is needed to get this price. Then put “INFLATABLE” in the box to access the deal page. FYI, the customer service is good.
WHEN: Many 2011 dates available.
WHERE: You’ll launch from the base of Memorial Beach Dam, near the Russian River Adventure office in Healdsburg, CA. A return shuttle will meet you at Wohler Bridge. Park free at the facility. (The deal page will take you to a map.)

James–Yes, this is a very good deal, the best I’ve found for this activity. Although the deal is only available via the Goldstar link posted, your questions are best answered by the vendor, Russian River Adventures. You can call them at 707-433-5599, but I think you’ll find most of the info you’re looking for–including what to bring and wear and directions from the South Bay–on this page:

Is this a good deal? If so, how do I get there from San Jose, CA? Also, what should we bring to this trip if we go on the Russian River on inflatables? What should we bring? What should we wear? Why is there a price range? Your info is much appreciated. James
