Highlights
Our Moonlight & Starlight Canoe Tour is often regarded by both our guides and our guests as one of our best tours! As the sun sets behind the mighty Cascade Mountains, we will push out onto the water in our canoes. After some adventure and exploration, we will take a break to stargaze while enjoying a local craft beer or hot cocoa as well as a desert from a local bakery. After immersing ourselves in the peace and beauty of the night sky, we will begin our journey back to shore. During the adventure, our award winning naturalist guides will point out wildlife, impart age-old stories and myths mixed with astronomy, and also share the rich human and geologic history of Central Oregon! What makes this tour truly special is that we are typically the only people out on the water at night. Sitting peacefully on a perfectly still lake as the the stars shimmer above and reflect off the water - its a feeling that simply can't be understood through words on a screen.

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.
