About
Adventure: Wanderlust Tours is the premier destination for cave tours in Bend, Oregon! Join us on this epic subterranean tour through one of the most expansive caves in all of Oregon! Tucked away in an ocean of sagebrush and ponderosa, Derrick Cave features stunning skylights, massive caverns and endless adventure. Wanderlust Tours is the only guiding outfit permitted in this stunning cave.
Naturalist Guided Experience: During our 2 hours underground, in the darkest, quietest spot earth can provide, we may impart an understanding of the region’s geology, painting a vivid picture of how massive volcanoes created this natural wonder. Or we might share how the cave habitat provides for creatures important to human life. Your crew will be energized with revelations about natural and cultural history that’ll keep your mind humming with delight long after you return home with fond memories of the tour.
