This is run by a lovely, local couple who almost felt like family in the short time we were there.

Just wanted to say they are really good people. They also gave us great guidance to navigate the river with quality equipment!

Like most lakes in California it's not a natural lake but it's still surrounded by beautiful hills. Plus, it's a lovely drive out from 101 on Dry Creek Road. It might have been cool to go out on the lake too. Our pre-paid, confirmed reservation for a five person pontoon boat was cancelled out from under us with no warning. Nothing was done to make it right. The staff acted like this happens all the time, and that it was our problem. They said the boat was "broken," with no details. It seems more likely that they just double booked and didn't tell us. We booked online, fully paid in advance, and received a confirmation email. What they did do was send us a form email at almost 4pm the day before our reservation. Since it looks like a promotion email, I didn't see it. No phone call, which would have prevented the whole problem. It's amazing when a business tells a rental customer you *must call* to cancel a reservation 24 hours in advance and email cancellations won't be accepted. Yet for the marina staff and management? Different rules. Email cancellations only hours before the reservation and no call needed. Two sets of rules. Even that might have been ok if they had also clearly stated this double standard. As for a resolution, none was offered. We are on a two-week trip to the area so our plans our flexible. Our time of day is flexible. The number of people we can bring is even flexible. But was *any* attempt made to offer an alternative booking? No. They had no other boats to rent except kayaks and canoes, so basically we were S.O.L. But to add insult to injury, they just did not care. Meanwhile, my wife and I made lunches for five people, packed our gear for a day on the boat plus a cooler, we brought along my 76 year old dad as well as our two sons, ages 9 and 12. Sure, we spent two hours driving round trip to the Lake Sonoma Marina to rent a pontoon boat that was "broke down." (See photo below.) Sure we drove 76 miles round trip for nothing. Sure, we burned $15 in gas but who cares. Sure, my wife took off of work to join us for a what could have been a great day on the water. Sure, my sons were disappointed. I just really hope that the management and staff of Lake Sonoma Marina aren't in any way inconvenienced. I'd hate for more than five peoples' day to be ruined due to their thoughtlessness.

Erik picked us up from our rental in Forestville for a private kayak and hiking tour.

You can tell he truly loves what he does and more importantly, cares that you have a memorable and wonderful day!! We highly recommend Erik and will definitely go out with him again.

Overall, our group was blessed to be out there on an overcast night, which allowed us to see a lot of the bioluminescent silhouettes of fish that swam under and around us throughout the tour.

They do this particular tour on nights when there's little to no moonlight since that is when you will best see the sparkling creatures in the bay. It embarks from Miller's Boat Launch near Nick's Cove in Marshall. It's not far from Point Reyes, so if you're spending time at the seashore, this is a magical way to end your day. They begin at 8 with very detailed instructions for your gear and paddling. Between that and then launching the boats in your group, you actually get on the water about 8:45 and return to the dock around 11 pm. It was a windy and foggy evening, so unfortunately, there were no sunset views. But the novelty of paddling in twighlight in to the evening more than made up for that. We had flocks of pelicans flying overhead and once we got to darker areas, the real star of the show came out to sparkle. You can see the bioluminescence light up as you paddle or run your fingers in the water. We stopped a few times along some coves and even saw the sparkles lap up on the sandy shores. We had 3 guides -one leading, one in the middle and one at the back to make sure no boats were left behind. The ride out was a bit choppy but we had paddlers of all levels in our group and everyone did okay. The guides made sure to check in with everyone and we'd count off boats to make sure we all caught up, We got to hear information about the seashore and the surrounding waters and the local creatures. The time flew by and it was such a wonderful, magical experience. If you haven't night kayaked, I'd definitely say to try it once. I hope to travel with Blue waters again and try one of their day trips, While it's important to dress warm and wear waterproof shoes, they do provide dry bags, a waterproof top and of course all the safety gear for your excursion.
