Self Guided Trip in Carneros Estuary
Discover the wonders of Napa Valley through its majestic waterways. From the brave expeditions of George C. Yount, to the Hawaiian ferry services to Napa riding the tides, and scenes from 1970's smash hit "Apocolypse Now", everything unfolded on these waters. What was once a humble outpost has blossomed into a vibrant city, teeming with captivating stories waiting to be heard.
Narrated by Robo (Burt) Reynolds and local winemakers, immerse yourself in the beauty of nature with a hands-free audio guide that brings the landscape to life. As you paddle, stories unfold around you—seamlessly synced to your location. Discover what’s hidden in plain sight through short, sweet narratives of local history, viticulture, culture & ecology.
Explore the Carneros Estuary or the Napa River or both at your own pace with built-in navigational guidance. It's not just a tour—it’s a journey that lets nature speak, and you truly listen.
