Highlights
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!

About Bend
Bend is a high-desert city in central Oregon on the Deschutes River, in the lee of the Cascade Range, with skiing, volcanoes and breweries.
Bend sits at about 1,100 metres on the Deschutes River, on the dry eastern side of the Cascade Range in central Oregon, with a line of snowy volcanoes along the western horizon, the Three Sisters among them. The river runs through town, widening at Mirror Pond beside Drake Park, and the old mill district beside it has been turned into shops, paths and places to float. Pilot Butte, a small cinder cone inside the city, can be climbed for views of the peaks.
Top-ranked sights in Bend: Bend Old Mill District, Newberry National Volcanic Monument, Deschutes National Forest.
