It's about 3 hours depending on your skills and your attitude. It's a beautiful perspective of a beautiful place. Many folks have lived their lives in bay area and have not done this. It's a mistake not to try it. Bring sunscreen beverages and snacks. There are no restrooms, per se, on the route. Does not require much skill. Couple of swifter short sections with no rapids

It was dangerous and stressful trying to navigate through the inner tubes and waders without hitting anyone. They charged $97 for each canoe. It was an expensive and miserable day. I wish they had warned us that the river would be packed like an amusement park.

There isn't a designated lot but you can either try to park near the visitors center (small amount of not timed parking) or along the street which is what we did. Decided to do some single kayaks. There is an option for either a 2 hour time frame or a 4 hour one. If you have the time then I would honestly recommend the 4 hour one. The routes that they have you travel are different (but the 4 hour also covers the 2 hour loop). Overall the water was pretty calm and we got to see plenty of seals. Recommend stopping by the beach, they'll point out where you can do so during the orientation talk, and walk along the shore to the seal and birds area. It's also a nice area to take a food break.

The on-shore guide showed us a nice map with a suggested route. I would have been happy with 90 minutes, but the rest of my avid kayaker group was happy to have the full 2 hours.

We're currently taking advantage of a deal that combines the train and Sherry for $10 per person each way jump on it while it's still good which I think it's through June 2025. The other good deal right now through June is seniors, and "youths" are free riders on the train.

My experiences with taxis 10 years ago were terrible and the Sam's family completely redefined my idea of calling a taxi.

I was astonished that the average price of a taxi is CHEAPER than the other drive services. I've recommended this Taxi service to all my friends and family and always received positive feedback!

A canned voicemail states they must be busy with another customer - but for every minute of 5 hours?! And what taxi company doesn't have a dispatcher/operator to take calls?! I have to go to airport and catch a flight, so it's very important to be on time; I thought a taxi would be more reliable than Uber/Lyft. It turns out Sam's Taxi is a ghost company, and utterly unreliable. Also, the address Sam's Taxi put on their webpage at https://www.rohnertparksamstaxi.com/ is 1088 Golf Course Dr Rohnert Park, CA 94928, which does NOT exist! It's an intersection, and no buildings belong to that particular address.
