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!

Our Kayak tours take place on the Cascade Lakes in the Deschutes National Forest, about a 45 minute drive from our office. We will spend about 2 hours on the water exploring.

My husband and I were embarrassed that we could not paddle in a straight line. Still, Our guide paddled close to us several times to get us moving in the proper direction. We were also pleased with our guide’s briefings on the geology and hydrology of Lake Paulina and the Newberry Caldera.

We had such a great time on the Cascade Lakes canoe tour with Wanderlust Tours. Our guide Jeannie was wonderful. She was kind, funny, and really knew her stuff, and she kept our group together and helped us navigate the lake with ease. The tour is easy and relaxed, and the water is so calm it feels like you’re floating on glass. The views are incredible, with Mt. Bachelor and the Sisters in the distance and tall pines all around. We even saw a few ducks and lots of trout swimming under the canoe. It was a beautiful way to spend a day in Bend.

Staff was welcoming, the car ride there was filled with conversation and interesting facts about Bend, and kayaking on the water was a beautiful way to tour Paulina Lake

Brian was pur guide and he was awesome. He had a lot of information to give about the geology and history of Bend as well as the surrounding area. We had a great time and wouldn't hesitate to book with Wanderlust the next time we are in the area.

Aussie Dylan was knowledgeable regarding Bend and Cascade lakes area and geology. We learned so much! His knowledge and passion about the area really enhanced our excursion. The views on Hosmer lake were breathtaking and because our group was small we got to talk to the other couple and Dylan which was really nice. All and all we really enjoyed the kayaking trip. Would highly recommend!

Lucked out in several ways with taking our night time canoe tour: outstanding tour guide named Dillon (super knowledgeable, courteous, patient, kind) and amazing balmy weather for an October night at Newberry Monument and paddling on Paulina Lake. Ask for Dillon. My experience with Wanderlust Tours is extraordinary value for the cost.
