Ballooning Above Napa Valley
Hot air balloons are a unique and exhilarating way to see Napa Valley, and Balloons Above The Valley has been voted the most popular balloon company in the area for years. Soar with the wind instead of feeling it as you float above the lush fields of the valley, while your pilot tells you about the area's unique setting and climate. Enjoy a champagne brunch as well as transportation to and from your local hotel or bed and breakfast.

Kayaking on the Napa River
Explore the scenic tidal estuaries of the Napa River from the seat of a two-person kayak. Get away from the well-worn tourist routes and see another side of the Napa Valley that few people get to take in. The river tour is gentle and slow-paced, allowing you to take in the scenery and wildlife in the area, including majestic Blue Herons. Reservations are required, but tours are offered 365 days a year. Your relaxing paddle will end with a visit to a local winery, so remember to bring cash for tasting fees, which are not included in your tour.
