ABOUT

Adventure: Wanderlust Tours is the premier destination for kayak tours in Bend, Oregon! Join us on this iconic paddling tour on the mighty Deschutes River. We’ll also take in an impressive waterfall with a short hike.

Naturalist Guided Experience: Our renowned naturalist guides will highlight the sweet spots on these stunning lakes that might not initially meet the eye. During our 2 hours on the water, along with the fun and sun, you’ll come to know our local beer scene through the sense of taste! You may also learn about the indigenous people who called Bend home and how they used the mountains and rivers for their livelihoods over 1000’s of years. Your crew will be energized with revelations about natural and cultural history that’ll keep your mind humming with delight long after you return home with fond memories of the tour.

Location: The stretches of the Deschutes River that we kayak are devoid of any rapids and provide a peaceful paddling experience for all ability levels.

Even if you’ve paddled the Deschutes River on your own before, with a professional naturalist guide, you’ll see the Deschutes from a completely new perspective!
