my wife and I have lived in bend for 4 years. We are the adventurous and and social types who love getting outside and experiencing new and exciting things. I never though i would book an outdoor tour because we always have been do it yourselfers. 4 years ago we booked a cave tour with the staff at ...
Our tour wound up being just our guide, my husband and myself. Our guide, Alexis, was phenomenal. She has educational conversation the entire way through, took us as far as we could go and helped with pictures the entire way. There was never an awkward silence or a feeling of inferiority, she was ha...
$75 for adults, $55 for children to see a cave. Tours at the Carlsbad Caverns in NM $20. This company is a massive ripoff taking advantage of basically a monopoly situation. If a local couple with two children wanted to visit Skeleton Cave that would be $260 for a couple hours in a cave with a pe...
We had Patrick for a tour guide. When I called to make rsvp the day before they were kind enough to work with me and get everything planned for a party of 8. It s a bit pricy for a two hour row imo. if I was to just go on my own but I guess as a family excursion it s worth it to have them plan, set...
The owner Dave and his team have been guiding trips in Central Oregon for 27 years. Fantastic way to learn some history and see the beauty of Central Oregon! We have so much fun every time we do a Wanderlust excursion- highly recommend!
8 of us in tow for a bachelor party. Canoe tour.. Our guide, Courtney, was personable, fun, and knowledgeable, made it a great experience for all of us. Thank you Courtney!
We had an amazing night snowshoeing Mt Bachelor and sipping cocoa by a bonfire. We not only recommend Wanderlust Tours but we ll back for more adventures ourselves!
My husband and I were visiting Bend from Tennessee and spent a month hiking and biking in this beautiful part of the country. Wanderlust s Starlight Canoe Tour was definitely a highlight of our trip! Our tour group consisted of the two of us, another couple from England, and our tour guide, Erika. W...
The Brews and Views tour up to Hosmer Lake with Courtney was great. The fun started even before we left the parking lot, and continued all the way to the lake.
With a 45 minute drive, one might be daunted at the fact that they would be bored, but it seemed there wasn't more than 5 minutes on the ...
Patrick gave us about the most professional and educational tour we have taken. He was very warm, friendly, and also considerate. I d had surgery recently and he was very attentive, making sure I was safe.
The breadth of his information and ability to connect different fields of knowledge makes t...
Brews and Canoes ... What else do you need?! Had a wonderful time and Hannah was a great tour guide! Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for guided tours!
The Shoes, Brews, and Views tour was great! Courtney is an awesome tour guide and is very knowledgeable! The beer tasting was a lot of fun and delicious! Trying out several of the breweries in the Bend area was one of the things we really wanted to do while visiting the area. The weather was ver...
We went on the exclusive cave tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor! Everyone had a great time.
Went kayaking with a group of friends. We loved the fun and knowledgeable tour guide. She facilitated a really fun trip, and we even learned a few things!
We had a great experience with our tour guide Courtney at Wanderlust. Due to weather we ended up actually lucking out and getting a private tour, as the other folks had to cancel. Courtney is extremely knowledgeable about the ecology, geology, and flora & fauna of the Cascade Lakes region. We had a ...
Jason was our guide on a snowshoe tour. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and a wealth of information. Would highly recommend and will book again next time we re in bend!
Wanderlust has an amazing group of extremely knowledgeable and friendly guides that make their well-planned trips even better. I've been on a couple snowshoeing trips with them, and can't think of anything that could have improved the trip.
We have always have a fun and educational experience through Wanderlust!! Thanks again
I highly recommend the Moonlight & Starlight tour. Our guide, James, made the tour inclusive and fun before we even boarded the van by getting to know us by name. During the drive to and from the lake, he often inquired about our comfort level and found ways to ignite conversations. As for the canoe...
Originally had starlight canoe tour planned but by the time we got up there it was snowing , so nixed, we still got to see the lake.. Nick our tour guide coordinated for another tour next day and we did Newberry Volcano.. I can't say enough about how much fun the tour was but what stood out to me wa...
Moonlight canoe trip was awesomeness. Every single star was out. Highly recommend
Our guide, Katie was amazing. We got to see some breathtaking views and we had great conversations. It was a great treat for our honeymoon. We will definitely go back!
Fabulous and informative snowshoeing adventure in the magical forests of Mt. Bachelor. Our guide, Alexis, was top notch! I would make a Wanderlust Tour an essential part of any future trip I make to Bend.
We had our law firm retreat in Bend, Oregon. As part of our retreat, we went on a lava tube exploring adventure. Courtney, our guide, was amazing. She kept the tour interesting, provided unlimited facts about the lava tubes and central Oregon, and even allowed our group some time to enjoy some senso...
We wanted to do something different for our wedding so we called up wanderlust and asked if they had anybody ordained to officiate a wedding. Travis one of the tour guides is ordained and he married us on top of bachelor with the stars overhead and an amazing background behind us. We had the greates...
Wanderlust is by far the best tour company we have ever used. Their staff is so knowledgeable and friendly! We had the best time on our canoe trip! Wanderlust is a tour group we will use again the next time we make it up to Bend! Keep up the good work guys!!
My family enjoyed a wonderful guided snowshoeing trip yesterday. Our guide Jared was very knowledgeable and made every effort to make our trip perfect. Would definitely recommend!
What a great first-time experience at Hosmer Lake with Wanderlust Tours. Our guide, Katie, was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and shared some of her favorite places to check out around Bend. We took the kayak tour during the afternoon, escaping the mid-90 s heat and enjoying low 80 s temps, making...
As part of my first visit to Oregon, my family and I did the volcano cave tour and moonlight canoe ride. We re normally not super adventurous people, but Wanderlust offered the perfect amount of structure and education for us to feel comfortable and have so much fun. It was awesome to experience the...
Fabulous snowshoe tour this past weekend!! Non-stressful hike into a campfire with yummy hot chocolate (and a little more) and snacks. Then we hiked back out with the stars a glow (and a headlamp). It was beautiful. What really made it fun was our guide Courtney. She was so much fun, energetic and f...
Our snowshoeing guide, Nick, gave us just the right combination of history, views and exercise (!) of the Mt. Bachelor area on our tour. He is a wealth of knowledge. My spouse is very interested in learning the history of Oregon and Nick gave us a very comprehensive background of the State. I got...
My party of 12 went on the kayak tour across Paulina lake with Courtney. She was so knowledgeable, courteous and had a good sense of humor. We started off on the south side of the lake and headed across to the warm spring pools across the way. We built up an appetite and Wanderlust offers lunch sand...
Fabulous guide (Nick) and absolutely worth it! No other way to see nature and deschutes than on kayaks. We took a plunge as a family together with Nick near the end of our river tour. So fun!
Did a night kayaking tour and it was absolutely stunning being out in the lakes and looking at the stars. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and even brought some drinks and snacks for our group to enjoy.
Jared was fabulous on our kayak tour. It's hard to find activities that are good for everyone in our family from ages 7 to 70. Wanderlust tours was so helpful and accommodating. Booking was super easy. Everyone was friendly and professional. Driver/tour guide was on time with all the correct equi...
Great staff - very knowledgeable and amenable. Wanderlust is always looking for new and exciting ways to explore and experience central Oregon. Will definitely come back!
What a beautiful way to begin a week long play-cation. The view. The information gleaned. The falling of the sun and the superimposition of the western ridgeline. If you can keep your breath in your lungs while gazing at this you may be too far gone. Alas Wanderlust Tours expert guide Pat has what ...
Patrick was incredibly knowledgeable and informed us of not only the river but the surrounding species of wildlife and the importance of forest fires. The tour was everything promised in terms of beauty and ease.
Wanderlust tours was an amazing experience start to finish, everyone we came in contact with was so friendly and professional. We did a cave tour and our guide Erika was SO knowledgeable!! It was a treat in and of itself having her as a guide and learning a TON about lava tube caves and some really ...
Such a wonderful concept and opportunity for really amazing adventures! Very professional, friendly and welcoming tour guide and overall an extraordinary and memorable experience! We loved it and would recommend!
Our snowshoe tour was Jason was awesome...we re already looking at the other tours for later this year. Thank you!
Super experience! Took a twilight snowshoe tour up Mt. Bachelor. Guide was super knowledgeable and very p,pleasant to be around.
I booked a tour for the day time for snow shoeing My first snow shoeing adventure. They did not have enough people to go during the day. I was a little disappointed. They only had a night tour.it is a little cheaper during the day than at night. I had already booked they did not charge me extra. I ...
Book your Wanderlust tour ASAP! I have gone on many, many types of outdoor excursions and tours with many different outfitters around the world, and this was hands down the most impressive. We did the Starlight Canoe tour, which was outstanding. The tour was perfect and the scenery gorgeous. What ...
The Brews and Canoes tour was AMAZING. The trip was great but it became amazing thanks to our guide James. His knowledge and wit made the trip, from start to finish, a trip to remember. I would have given 10 stars if I could.
Courtney made our first snow shoe experience awesome! She was energetic, friendly, and knowledgeable. We even asked about kayak tours in the summer because she was so great. We look forward to another adventure with Wanderlust Tours!
Went on the Lava Tube Cave tours with Wanderlust. Our guide, Chip, was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. All the of the children were on his heels for the entire tour with rapid fire questions which he fielded like a pro. We enjoyed the trip very much and I would highly recommend it.
Great experience! Our guide Katie was so knowledgeable and also gave great recommendations for Bend that we took into the rest of our long weekend. A perfect way to explore the mountain if skiing/snowboarding aren't your thing!
My Fiance and I went on this tour August 1st for the twilight canoe trip. We were really excited to see sunset on the mountain from the water. We were waiting to be picked up by Nick, who brought a van with a trailer with the canoes. We loaded up in the van and we all heard a loud noise, sounded lik...
Erica was very friendly and knowledgeable and made this an amazing first time caving experience for me and my wife! Small groups make thisa very intimate and exploratory adventure - you really feel like you're discovering the cave for the first time. Learned a lot about volcanoes and lava tubes and ...
We had a CEO Retreat in Bend and hired Wanderlust Tours to provide a "brews and canoes" event and dinner on Elk Lake. They did a fantastic job for us, we were most impressed by Erika our guide! We were all very impressed by the entire event and Erika's passion and interest in the event. thank you!
We thoroughly enjoyed the Bend Brew Bus tour, and Danny was an awesome tour guide! He knew a ton about Bend, the beer scene, and Oregon in general. He also had an innate ability to know when to interact with the 'tourists', and when to leave us to our own conversations. It was a super fun afternoon,...
I've done both a Cave Tour and Canoe Trip with Wanderlust Tours now and recommend them very highly! Very knowledgeable and friendly guides and fun and interesting tours!
Wonderful! The moonlight canoe ride was picturesque and beautiful. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Totally worth the trip.
Absolutely terrific experience. Friendly and attentive staff in the office and on the mountain.
This was an amazing tour! We took the "brew bus" tour and Jeff was our guide, he was very knowledgable but most of all he made sure that we were all having a great time. The tour takes you to 4 of the 9 brewries on Bend's Ale Trail and includes 4-6 ounce tastings at each stop. There is a cooler with...
Awesome! These guys do an incredible job of educating while creating a memorable experience. Our guide was well versed, and able to answer all of our questions. We learned a ton! I have lived in Bend for a decade, and this will go down as one of my all time favorite memories.
We had such a great time on our canoe adventure with our guide Jason. He was fun, very informative, and we can t wait for the next adventure with Wanderlust Tours!
