Bend Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Had a blast was such an amazing experience will need to repeat for sure having Clay as our guide we were very pleased with his knowledge. Highly recommend if wanting to have a great time.

It was a very easy ride. The guide was so good at giving guidance in how to ride, and manage the e-bike and he was so helpful in explaining the route. The scenery was gorgeous and it was an overall wonderful experience.

A fantastic time, learned so much and got to see parts of my home area I normally wouldn't be able to. I appreciated that the guide adapted the tour based on what people in the group were able/willing to do.

Excellent tour all around. Newer equipment, good instructions on how to use it all ahead of time, guide ensured we did not get lost and rode on fun but not too challenging paths. We also had a chance to stop a few times at very scenic locations and to switch drivers.

Scott was so great, patient, informative and friendly. He made us all feel comfortable and confident, seeing how we were all first timers on e-bikes. Hand down, "Best tour in Bend!"

Cool Destinations didn't make it clear it was a physical business. Once there everything was great. Everything was taken care of. It was safe, definitely beginner friendly, life jackets provided.

Took a group of 5 managers for a team building Perseid’s meteor shower moonlit canoe excursion on Elk Lake. We have been coming to Bend now for 8 years as a group and are always looking for new experiences. This one did not disappoint. Isaac was our guide and this was one of the most incredible experiences we all have had. Isaac‘s exquisite storytelling made the trip one that we will remember for years to come. The knowledge he shared about the constellations and Greek mythology in between seeing the meteors kept us engaged the entire evening. Canoe experience level varied in our group and Isaac helped everyone feel comfortable and confident the entire time. Easy getting on and off the water and we didn’t even get our feet wet. Do plan to help pack canoes down to the water. We enjoyed the physical activity to justify the delicious cocoa and cookie break. Everyone in our group highly recommend this trip and hope that you are lucky enough to have Isaac as your guide.

Wonderful experience and Sheena was THE BEST! Highly recommend!♥️

This tour was a relaxing, fun, and educational way to spend an afternoon in Bend. Scott was a great host who took us from easy lagers to interesting IPA’s and introduced us to the best food truck “Tots” in Bend”! We even had an opportunity to enjoy life conversations!

We had such a great time! Did not know that the midges are the pollinators of the cacao beans. What a wonderful and educational experience we had.

Dan was an excellent guide and the tour was very interesting. The stops were informative and the E-Bikes and so easy to operate.

Dylan was a great tour guide! Very knowledgeable and easy to converse with. The cave was incredible.

Such a fun family day! We are local and decided to play "tourist for a day". This was a blast!

Our tour guide Dan led our group on an extensive tour of Bend’s fantastic trails and city streets. It was great to ride along the Deschutes River and high above from a ridge viewpoint. The ride was both relaxing and invigorating. Not only did Dan look out for our safety, he provided interesting knowledge of historic sites and people, as well as good tips of places to visit in Bend.

I had a wonderful, informative tour. Sam was quite knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. I highly recommend this tour.

Very cool experience. Shay our guide was very informative and gave a fantastic tour with a lot of cool facts
