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.
