Cascade Lakes Moonlight and Starlight Canoe Tour

Our Moonlight & Starlight Canoe Tour is often regarded by both our guides and our guests as one of our best tours! As the sun sets behind the mighty Cascade Mountains, we will push out onto the water in our canoes. After some adventure and exploration, we will take a break to stargaze while enjoying a local craft beer or hot cocoa as well as a desert from a local bakery. After immersing ourselves in the peace and beauty of the night sky, we will begin our journey back to shore. During the adventure, our award winning naturalist guides will point out wildlife, impart age-old stories and myths mixed with astronomy, and also share the rich human and geologic history of Central Oregon! What makes this tour truly special is that we are typically the only people out on the water at night. Sitting peacefully on a perfectly still lake as the the stars shimmer above and reflect off the water - its a feeling that simply can't be understood through words on a screen.

Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for kids to join this canoe tour? Is it suitable for families?

A: The tour is generally suitable for kids 6 and up, but it really depends on their comfort level with being out on the water in the dark. Families are welcome, and it can be a magical experience for kids who love nature! Just check with the provider when booking to confirm any age restrictions.

Q: What if the weather's bad? Do they cancel the tour or reschedule?

A: If weather conditions are unsafe, they will usually cancel the tour and offer to reschedule or provide a full refund. They've got a good track record of making safety a priority, so I wouldn’t worry too much about that. Just keep an eye on the forecast as your date approaches!

Q: What should we wear for the canoe tour? Is it cold at night?

A: Definitely dress in layers! It can get chilly once the sun goes down, so a warm jacket is a must. Wear comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting a little damp. And don't forget a hat or beanie for warmth, especially if you’re going in late summer!

Just did the Cascade Lakes Moonlight Canoe Tour, and wow!

I went on the Moonlight and Starlight Canoe Tour last weekend and it was incredible! The sunset over the Cascade Mountains was breathtaking. We got to stargaze while sipping on hot cocoa and snacking on the most delicious brownie from this local bakery. The guides were super knowledgeable and shared great stories about the area. Seriously, I highly recommend this for anyone in Bend! It feels magical out there at night.

Looking to buy the Moonlight Canoe Tour as a gift! Any advice?

I’m thinking of getting this canoe tour for my boyfriend's birthday, but I’m not sure if it’s too adventurous for him. He’s not super outdoorsy but loves a good view and a nice drink! Is this something a casual person would enjoy? What do you all think?
