Experience Petaluma like never before—on the water during one of the highest tides of the year.

Join The Floathouse for the October Tide Ride, a special golden-hour paddle that takes you from the heart of historic downtown into the quiet, scenic reaches of the Petaluma River. With a dramatic 7.3’ tide lifting us gently upstream and sunset on the horizon, this is fall in Sonoma County at its most magical.

As you paddle past heritage buildings and into lush wetlands, you’ll witness the river come alive with birds, reflections, and autumn colors. Guides share stories about the river’s past and its thriving natural ecosystem today, giving visitors a meaningful, immersive look at Petaluma’s beloved Longest Park.

Whether you’re a seasoned paddler or a total beginner, this peaceful evening adventure is the perfect way to explore the region’s natural beauty in a totally unique way. Space is limited—reserve your spot today!
