    This is a beautiful stop in Sonoma County. It features easy walks that allow you to learn about…read moreJack London and explore his homes, including the House of Happy Walls Museum and the ruins of his Wolf House. The trails are well-maintained and shaded by trees, with some minor uphill and downhill sections, making it a great outdoor activity for all ages. There is a vehicle entry fee to get into the park, but it is covered if you have a California State Parks pass. Highly recommend checking it out if you are in the area or need a break from wine tasting.

The sad thing is it burned down right before completion so they never got to live in the house. The use of stones and rock kept a lot of the walls despite the fire and it reminds me of of an oversized version of a Greene and Greene style Craftsman Bungalow I saw in Pasadena, CA. If you are a fan of abandoned places you will like coming here. It's fenced off for safety so you can't go running around the structures but you can do a full 360 walk around and there is a platform you can walk on that's about in the middle of the house and you get a good view of the pool and different floors from here. The hike from the parking lot to the museum and to the grave sites and house are easy, my senior parents and young kids were able to do it easily. I would stop by the museum on the way back, there are some nice artifacts from Jack London as well as a scale model of what the hosue was supposed to look like.

This is run by a lovely, local couple who almost felt like family in the short time we were there. They boosted the confidence of my son with reassurance and also took the time to help us get back to our vehicle after it unexpectedly broke down on our way to the river. Just wanted to say they are really good people. They also gave us great guidance to navigate the river with quality equipment!

    First off, we do this river day trip every year. We -highly- recommend experiencing the river, it's…read morealways fun and rarely disappoints (even as our kids get older!) While we have used different outfits lately - we had a great experience with Russian River Adventures a few years back, so we came in excited to return. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing, mainly due to poor planning by the staff. We booked for four people on a Thursday - my wife, myself, and our two teens (14 and 16)--with the expectation that we'd have two boats, which is standard for this group size. However, the team miscounted the boats that morning. When we pointed this out, instead of fixing the mistake, they pulled us aside and crammed all four of us into a boat intended for three, squeezing in an extra seat to make it "fit." Visibly frustrated, the team promised to speak with the owner and make it right (it was two high schoolers running it that day). I didn't argue and wanted to at least try to have a good time and not be that Dad. The result on the boat? A very cramped and uncomfortable setup that made the inflatable much harder to steer and navigate--especially on a 9-mile river trip. This wasn't the experience we paid for or expected based on our prior trips. The staff seemed more focused on moving us along rather than making it right. Still haven't heard from the owner. We'll likely explore other options next time around. Disappointed to see the service slip like this.

The captain of the boat, Rowan, made a difficult experience better. He used his phone and speaker to play the music she had wanted for her funeral. She had also wished to be in the Pacific and have peonies be part of her ceremony. He chose a cove near the Golden Gate Bridge, where the waters of San Francisco Bay mix with those of the Pacific. The currents would take her out to the Pacific, where she hoped to be, recalling her young womanhood in Santa Monica. I didn't want to scatter her ashes--having to lose one more thing of hers, and I also wanted to avoid the risk of the ashes blowing back on us--so I bought a biodegradable container. Rowan offered to set it in the water for me, along with the peonies. I watched it until it sank. Rowan circled the boat long enough to allow me to see it until I was comfortable with leaving. Thank you.

    Outstanding experience!!! I would give 100 stars if I could. We used them for scattering my dad's…read moreashes (he was a big time sailor) and they were phenomenal. Our captain, Mark and first mate, Ruby, checked in as we sailed out to see if we wanted to try to go under the Golden Gate Bridge as the weather started a bit rough. But we did and it was magical! Everyone (many who never sailed before) and those who had loved the entire experience! We plan on going back for a fun adventure soon! Thanks so much!!!

    Honestly, WET made it so easy to have a great time rafting AND camping. Here's where it just works…read morewell: 1) customer service: I talked to Chad (owner) who helped me choose what my party of 24 rafters needed (what trip fit my age group, experience level, time availability, etc). He gave me reasonable pricing for things like tent set-up and cooked meals for my campers. And when one family had trouble coming, he helped smooth it over so that the family felt seen and taken care of. He was often the first to respond to my questions, and I chose this company based on the time he took to help me feel like all my bases were covered. (And I called A LOT of companies in the area while researching!) 2) fantastic guides: we had Ant, MJ, and Noelle. Ant was magnificent. So knowledgeable about the river itself but also about the ecology and community engagement and history of the land. So passionate about the earth and making sure we had a rollicking adventure! (We got to "ride the bull" a few times!) 3) meals and camping were excellent: cooked as needed, tents set up in a lovely green meadow, and it was great to just relax and be taken care of. They even put out games of cornhole for us to play while they cooked. It was kinda blissful. Our group of scouts and parents were impressed by how calm we felt during an adventure weekend. Kudos to an amazing team! WET took very good care of us and I for one, will be back with more people for more adventures!

    Guide was great, WET was easy to work with and the whole trip was seamless. Recommend using this…read moreoutfit for your next rafting trip
