Bend: Deschutes River Guided Flatwater Kayaking Tour｜United States

Spring in Bend is stunning. The wildflowers are starting to bloom, there is still snow in the mountains but sun on our backs and wildlife are beginning to scamper around! Join us as we explore a beautiful stretch of the incredible Deschutes River by kayak! The paddle is a flatwater (no rapids) stretch of the Deschutes where we will be able to immerse ourselves in the stunning surroundings, teeming wildlife & more!
