    Captain Dan is great with kids !
    Scott J.

    What a great little boat tour- on a great little boat- the Noyo Star. It is clean, quiet, and comfortable. Captain Dan was terrific with our restless toddler as he told us about the Noyo River, area history, wildlife, and even a few restaurant recommendations. We departed at 4:30pm, which was dependent on the tide charts- so call ahead to determine what times are available. The ramp down to the dock is pretty steep- so folks with limited mobility may have problems. You certainly want to wear shoes with a good grip.

    Five stars for Dan and his tour! A last minute call, while we ate lunch in Noyo Harbor, and Dan had us on the water within an hour or so. He was patient with my not so thrilled three year old, when we boarded. And explained fishing, boats, etc... as he drove us though the river and harbor. He made sure my daughter got to see many sea lions on our tour too! Lastly, the boat is immaculate and rather toasty with the windows up. It was very relaxing!

    Had a great time touring the harbor with Captain Dan today. An excellent way to celebrate Mother's Day. Thank you Captain Dan for your patience as these two river novices asked many questions. You made us feel right at home.

    I had a fantastic time with a friend on this scenic tour with Dan! It's a very relaxing and comfortable ride in Dan's brand new and very clean boat. I had no idea what to expect going into this experience, but was pleasantly surprised by Dan's friendliness and knowledge of the harbor and boat world! What a fantastic way to drink a glass of wine and enjoy the views! Thanks Dan!

Our guides, Travis and Atlas, provided an educational and interactive experience. At the same time, they gave us our space to explore and just take in the beauty of the redwood forest. I do recommend dressing in layers as the morning half of the ride was cold and the return trip was warmer than expected. Bring gloves if you plan to be the driver because your hands will be exposed to the cold morning air due to controlling the speed of the electric assist controls. Make sure to use the bathroom before you leave. The only stop with a bathroom was at Camp Noyo, which is 12.5 miles from the start. It took my group of 3 rail bikes about 2 hours to get there. Don't be scared of the 25 miles because the electric assist made it an easy ride. I think we were able to pedal, with the assist on, for 90% of the trip. We used the full electric option for about 3-5 minutes total because we wanted to relax our legs. Overall, I recommend the experience, especially if you like being outdoors and surrounded by nature.

With the full length of the tracks not currently open to Willits, it didn't seem worth it to partake in the shorter train rides. However, once I learned about the rail bikes, I was in! There are two options for the rail bikes. The shorter, two hour excursion is to Glen Briar from their downtown Fort Bragg Depot (the Pudding Creek route) is about 7 miles round trip. If you want a full day adventure, there's the Noyo route which is 25 miles and departs from Sherwood road and is noted as a more stenous excursion. Given I was short on time, I opted for the Pudding Creek route. However, I would definitely do the rail bikes again and try the Noyo route. For the Pudding Creek route, we arrived about 15 minutes before our 10 am departure time. There's a small lot for guests and a short walk over to where the bikes are. Instructions are easy to follow and the staff is amazingly helpful and thorough. With the motor assist, pedaling along the rails was rather mellow. At the end of the line, we stopped at a scenic pavilion in the redwoods and had the option of a short guided hike or to just chill and enjoy the picnic area. I had time to do both and it was a really enjoyable way to spend the morning. There's a basket on the front of each bike to store your backpacks and drink holders for your water bottles. Back at the depot, there's a cute gift shop and behind it, a model train exhibit that was pretty cool. I love a good kitschy attraction and this was a fun, touristy thing to do while visiting the area. I enjoyed it so much, that I do wish the route was longer (hence my hope to go back and do the longer Noyo trip.) Sure, it's pricey, but if you can swing the cost, come in with the right expectations and you'll have a fun day, while also learning a bit more about the area from your guides.

We had emphasized to our guests to be on time for their shuttle pick ups using the schedule provided to us by the company. One of the shuttles was EXTREMELY late for the pickups (between 30 and 45 minutes for some of them). They told the guests that the schedule didn't make sense to them and so they made their own schedule up. This led to a ton of confusion on the wedding day. Some of the guests had actually gotten into their cars to drive themselves because they didn't think anyone was coming by the time the shuttle showed up. One of our guests wanted to go home a little after 11 PM. A different (female) shuttle driver told him they only wanted to go back to his Airbnb one more time so our guest would have to wait until the rest of his party was ready to leave. He ended up waiting two hours later than he wanted. This is absolutely not what we had agreed. In our calls we had discussed multiple times that the shuttles would be running continuously from 10-2 AM to all destinations. All in all, the day was a complete mess from a transportation perspective and fell completely short of the services that we had agreed to and paid for. Before posting this review, I brought these events to the attention of the business owner who did not apologize for our experience and scapegoated his team.

Please speak to either Kevin, the owner of The Fish Peddler or Michelle Gagne-these two helped my Mother and me obtain the freshest wild salmon just caught from their boat! Also, if you want to catch your own wild salmon, go make reservations to go fishing on The Fish Peddler's Charter, "Rumblefish." It is well worth the trip to go fishing here because up the street from the Fish Peddler is Perko's Restaurant and the Perko's Hotel located on the same property. So call Kevin or Michelle to book your reservations to go fishing on Rumblefish-$75.00 for half-day fishing (you can catch a lot of fish for a half-day O=:-D ) or if you do not have sea legs, just order your seafood of choice from the Fish Peddler. I am positive the Fish Peddler does aim to please all their customers, including my Mother!

I really had an awesome time aboard your boats.
