Kayak Tours of Cascade Lakes

BEND, Ore. – Wanderlust Tours will add guided, flat water kayaking tours to its menu of naturalist guided outings beginning in early summer of 2009. Kayak Tours, available June through October and open to all levels of experience, will be offered in half-day trips, daily at 9 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., moonlight tours during the full moon each month, and Brews and Views beer tasting kayak trip options. Groups will remain small, up to 11 people per group. Tour rates will range between $55-$65 per person.

Wanderlust Tours is the only guide company in Central Oregon permitted by the Deschutes National Forest to lead guided kayaking on the Cascade Lakes. Like all of Wanderlust Tours’ offerings, tours will include professional naturalist guides, kayaks, instruction, and transportation in 15-passenger vans.

Wanderlust Tours will continue to offer its half-day Canoe Tours, Moonlight Canoe Tours, Dinner Canoe Under the Stars events and Brews and Views beer tasting canoe trips.

All tours are led by professional naturalist guides, who bring the area alive with vibrant natural and cultural history interpretation.

Wanderlust Tours, specializing since 1993 in taking small groups into remote natural areas while maintaining a low impact on the environment, was awarded the Oregon State University Austin Excellence in Family Business Award in 2007.
