What. A. Tide! 7.7′. This is a do-not-miss opportunity! Experience Petaluma from a whole new perspective—on the water during one of the highest tides of the year.

Join The Floathouse for the November Tide Ride, a guided afternoon paddle that takes you from the heart of downtown into the lush, tree-lined upper reaches of the Petaluma River. With a dramatic 7.7-foot tide lifting us gently upstream, this paddle offers a rare chance to explore quiet, overgrown stretches of the river that are usually out of reach.

As the city fades behind you, you’ll drift beneath willows, past seasonal waterfalls (if the rains have started), and through a hidden world full of wildlife and stillness. Egrets, herons, and other water birds often appear in these peaceful backwaters—making it a perfect outing for photographers, birders, and anyone craving a little natural wonder.

No paddling experience is necessary—just bring a warm layer and a sense of adventure. Space is limited–reserve your spot today!
