WANDERLUST TOURS: Special Events in Bend, Oregon

Did you know we run outdoor and brewery tours every day, all year-round? It’s the BEST, but we also enjoy cooking up some special event tours in the Bend, Oregon area… and beyond! That’s why we’re always thinking about the next thing, and fondly reminiscing about our past special event activities.

Here are some of our favorite special events that have happened over the past year:

Black Rock Desert & Steens Mountain Guided Tour

This was an awesome experience in one of Oregon’s most gorgeous, remote locations! We traveled through the Alvord Desert and Black Rock Desert along where the Oregon Trail originally traveled, It was a trip through time, and our guests left with more insight into the story of Oregon today.

OUR SUMMER & WINTER ART IN NATURE EVENTS WITH BEND CAMERATA

Did you know we have an ongoing outdoor performance series called Art in Nature? We love these events! Bend Oregon outdoor concerts are the best, because we have the most beautiful wild spaces for these talented performers to show their stuff!

HIKING TOURS OF SMITH ROCK, THE BLUE POOL, & MORE!

There is nothing like hiking at Smith Rock! It never gets old! We love to talk all about the special geological features here, and how they came to exist.

The Blue Pool is an incredible, naturally-super-blue pool deep in the woods! We lead a hiking group out here to take a gander and learn all about the local plants and animals.

The list could go on, because as cheesy as it sounds, every tour we lead feels special! However, we do love putting our creative minds to the test to come up with cool tour ideas in the Bend, Oregon area. We love leading Bend family reunions tours, business outings, wedding activities in Bend, and planning birthday celebrations in the beautiful Central Oregon outdoors!
