Overview

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.

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!
