Cascade Lakes Kayak Tour in Bend Oregon

Overview
Our Cascade Lakes Kayak Tour is often regarded by guests as one of our best tours! As the sun shines above the mighty Cascade Mountains, we will push out onto the pristine waters of our high-elevation lakes and begin our kayaking adventure. Our award-winning Naturalist Guides will highlight the sweet spots on these stunning lakes that might not initially meet the eye, taking you into the fingers, coves, and bays that were formed by ancient volcanic activity and are only accessible by Kayak! Along with some fun in the sun, you will also learn about the region's geology - how fire and ice built and sculpted the lakes, mountains, and rivers in Central Oregon! If you'd like to take a refreshing dip, bring a swimsuit and remember to keep your eyes peeled for otters, osprey, and more. With crystal blue waters and incredible mountain views, our Cascade Lakes Kayak Tours are great for the whole family!

We participated in the Wanderlust stargazing canoe tour on Elk Lake. If Carl Sagan is correct that "we are all made of star-stuff", our guide Abbie is proof of it. She was an outstanding guide, with lots of knowledge about the region, stars, and constellations. She is full of positive energy and extremely patient and helpful for those with limited canoeing experience. The hot chocolate and cookies from the local pastry were a wonderful treat. We spent 10 days in the Bend area, and this was a top highlight!

Wow! Thank you so much for the glowing review!! Abby's energy and passion for all things Central Oregon is truly unmatched. Our Moonlight & Starlight Canoe is certainly a summertime favorite and its easy to see why once you hit the water and the stars begin dotting the night sky as the last of the day's light fades behind the mountains! And yes, the hot cocoa and local treat is a perfect cherry on top!! We hope to see you out on tour with us again next time you're in Bend! Cheers!
