LAVA TUBE CAVE TOURS

Join us on an underground journey of once molten lava

Gather your group, turn on your headlamps, don your helmets, and get ready as our renowned naturalist guides bring you underneath the earth to explore one of our volcanically formed caves. Caving is a great way feel like an explorer. Let the light illuminate your path as your guide shares with you the incredible geology and formation of these caves. You will be maneuvering in a wild cave, over and around rock outcroppings as you look for resident critters and take in the incredible history of these underground wonders.

These tours are great for all ability levels (good balance and comfort on uneven surfaces is helpful) and your professional naturalist guides will cater the experience to ensure that all participants feel comfortable with an appropriate level of exploration. During the tour, your guide will facilitate learning about and connecting to the natural world, and spending quality time with each other resulting in teamwork, bonding, adventure and laughter!

Interested in learning about the prohibition-era distilling that took place in these underground shelters? Pair your cave adventure with a tour & tasting at a local distillery on our Prohibition Cave Tour!

Don’t spend another day bonding with your family and friends indoors. Let us help stimulate your creativity with outdoor exploration!

The cave is dark at all times of the day, so take your pick based on your availability. Opt for an evening experience to watch the surrounding desert illuminate and the stars shine as you emerge from the cave. How much time can you spare? There are many caves to explore and many geologic features to check out. We offer half day, full day and multi day trips!

Wanderlust’s guides and our partner chefs love being outdoors and what is better than being in the great outdoors than eating great food in the great outdoors? Whether you are craving simplicity or lavishness, let us lure you with local eats. Take in the desert close to our caves while our guides or our outdoor chef prepares hot or cold local food. Thirsty to taste Bend’s craft culture? Let our knowledgeable guides wow you with local libations and the history of their making!  

Still craving more after your time underground? Add a hike, paddle, or team-building challenge to your day. Fascinated by the cave world and want to see the source? Add a hike in the Newberry Volcano to connect the dots from the origin to the underground!
