River Run + Cold Plunge (with Sauna!)

Trade your Saturday afternoon for a tidal adventure on the Petaluma River. Launching from downtown Petaluma, this guided Downriver Run takes you six scenic miles through wide-open wetlands and peaceful river landscapes in easy-to-use Hobie pedal kayaks.

From 3–5 pm, ride the outgoing tide from The Floathouse Petaluma to Lakeville Landing Marina, where the experience can continue with an optional discounted sauna + cold plunge session at Sundrop Sauna from 5–6:30 pm. Warm up in the sauna, cool down with a plunge, and relax riverside in the golden evening light.

Want to make it a floating picnic party? Add a Bella Box from La Bella Charcuterie, with omnivore, vegetarian, and vegan options available.

This is Sonoma County river culture at its finest: movement, nature, community, wellness, and good vibes — all in one unforgettable afternoon.

Hosted by The Floathouse Petaluma, Sonoma County’s go-to for getting out on the Petaluma River with kayaks, paddle boards, water bikes, guided experiences, and more. We know how to get you into the community.
