BEND, Ore. – Wanderlust Tours will offer its newest canoe experience, Starlight Canoe Tours, daily June through October from 8 p.m. to midnight. Different from Wanderlust's signature Moonlight Canoe Tours, which are offered only during the full moon, Starlight Canoe Tours are available every night and celebrate the light of Central Oregon's starry sky from the elevation and darkness of the High Cascade Lakes.

Paddling with Wanderlust Tours' renowned naturalist guides, participants will get away from the light of the city, learn about the constellations, watch for shooting stars and listen for the hush of the nighttime forest surrounding the lakes. Guests will also be served hot drinks and locally baked desserts on the shore of the lake during the tour.

All tours are led by professional naturalist guides, who bring the area alive with vibrant natural and cultural history interpretation. Starlight Canoe Tours include transportation, canoe equipment/instruction, guide, hot drinks and dessert for $65 per person. No prior canoeing experience is necessary.

Wanderlust Tours, specializing since 1993 in taking small groups into remote natural areas while maintaining a low impact on the environment, was awarded the Gene Leo Award by the Oregon Tourism Commission for its focus on the state's natural beauty and excellence in outdoor recreation.
