The Experience

Join us for an epic subterranean adventure deep below the Earth’s surface. Bend is home to a vast amount of lava tube cave networks, that were formed thousands of years ago by volcanic activity. During the two hours underground in the darkest, quietest spot the Earth can provide, naturalist guides will impart their vast knowledge of the region's geology while we adventure through this incredible cave system. Wanderlust Tours is the only guide company permitted in these lava caves. These caves are wild caves, meaning there is no paved path or lighting. Wanderlust Tours will outfit your group with helmets and headlamps. We also recommend wearing hiking boots or sturdy shoes to help navigate the uneven, rocky terrain as well as a fleece jacket and jeans as the caves stay at 45 degrees Fahrenheit year round. These volcanically formed geologic wonders are a truly breathtaking place to explore.

Restrictions

  • While we've had guests on our cave tours ranging from 5 to 85, we describe this cave tour as having an easy level of difficulty. It is a wild cave with no lights or path (we provide helmets and headlamps) but the walking surface is essentially flat throughout the cave. The most challenging part of the tour will be entering the cave through a small gate opening. If you have questions about the cave's difficulty, it is best to contact us directly!
  • Entering the Cave: To enter this private cave, guests will need to step through a gate to gain access (see photo of gate entrance). From top bar to bottom bar, there is about 14.5 inches of clearance. If you have questions about the cave's entrance, it is best to contact us directly!
