Bend Flatwater Kayaking Tour, 4 hr

Trade Bend’s busy streets for the quiet flow of the Deschutes River. On this Bend flatwater kayaking tour, paddle through a scenic stretch with no rapids, where mountain views, seasonal wildflowers, and wildlife bring the landscape to life.

Your guide handles transportation from the Wanderlust Tours office and provides kayaks, paddles, and personal flotation devices. Once on the water, spend about two hours exploring river areas that see fewer visitors. An award-winning naturalist guide points out details you might otherwise miss and shares how the region’s hydrology sustains its plants and wildlife. The complete experience lasts four hours, with transportation taking 30–45 minutes each way. Kayaks are shared by two people; guests in odd-numbered groups may be paired with the guide or another group.

Bring water, snacks, sun protection, and warm layers for changing conditions. Meet at the Wanderlust Tours office in the Fred Meyer Shopping Center near the gas station. Choose this Bend flatwater kayaking tour for an easygoing way to experience the river and its natural surroundings with an expert guide.
