ABOUT

Adventure: Wanderlust Tours is the premier destination to explore the belly of a volcano in Bend, Oregon! Join us on this super engaging series of walks inside this massive volcano.

Naturalist Guided Experience: At 6,300 feet, our journey will take us to a mountain of pumice and obsidian— black volcanic glass integral to human life! We may explore the shores of the sparkling Paulina Lake where Native Americans once called home. Our knowledgeable guides can introduce you to an old-growth hemlock forest where you’ll see decaying logs that possess more living mass than when the tree was alive and standing. Cool facts like this await illumination on our volcano trip. A combination of short, easy walks totaling just under 2 miles.

Our Volcano Tour is the perfect outing for your corporate group or family reunion in Bend, Oregon because it caters to all ability levels!

Testimonials - Volcano and Hiking

The tours are incredible and the guides are full of such positive energy. James is a very upbeat guy and Katie really knows her geology. I would so take a tour with Wanderlust again.

My husband and I just took a tour of the Newberrry Caldera with the amazing, kind and knowledgeable Jared! We decided to nickname him “Mr. Wizard” because there didn’t seem to be a question he couldn’t answer. We learned about the geology of our beloved Eastern Oregon, and how the Newberry Caldera fit into that geological time line, but also about the surrounding trees, Forest Service and water conservation, and Leave No Trace principles. Jared is a local treasure from whom we learned so much; plus he is a swell guy to hang out with. I am looking forward to going on another tour with Wanderlust because of the wonderful experience I had today with Jared. Thank you!
