Great day yesterday with Ali and Jared. Did the kayak at Sparks Lake in the afternoon and went over to Paulina Lake for the canoe in the evening. Absolutely fantastic experiences. Ali was super knowledgeable about the area, formations, and overall history of the region. Made my first trip to Oregon a memorable one!

Had the good fortune to have Austin as our guide on both the nighttime snowshoe trip around Mount Bachelor and the afternoon cave exploration at Boyd's Cave the next day. Austin was a lot of fun and very knowledgeable, and did well to tailor the experience to the members of the tour, especially in our second trip as it was just our party. The winter options were a lot of fun, and hoping to check it out when there's more options available in the summer!

Beautiful starlight canoe tour with an exceptional guide, Jeannie, who was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic! She was very encouraging and helpful, no worries if you’re not skilled in canoeing. Told us all about the geology of Sparks Lake and the geological history of the area. Pointing out planets and stars that were visible on slightly cloudy night but still very beautiful, peaceful atmosphere. Local beers, hot chocolate and local bakery snacks were also a nice treat provided. Jeannie clearly cares about this area’s breathtaking nature and had plenty of great recommendations for outdoor experiences around Bend. Highly recommend the experience!

My team and I did the bonfire snowshoeing tour and it was INCREDIBLE!! I can't say enough good things about it. Jared was our guide and he had so much knowledge of the area with lots of interesting stories to tell. The experience itself walking through Mt. Bachelor at night was amazing but Jared made it even more fun and interesting for us. I can't wait to come back to Bend and participate in another Wanderlust tour!

KIMBERLY GUIDED ME AND MY THREE KIDS ON A GREAT TOUR OF A NEARBY LAVA TUBE. MY DAUGHTER PARTICULARLY APPRECIATED THAT THIS TOUR WAS WOMAN-LED. KIMBERLY HAD GREAT KNOWLEDGE OF THE CAVE AND ITS FORMATION TO SHARE WITH OUR GRADE SCHOOL AGE KIDS. THE CAVE IS ABOUT TWENTY MINUTES OUTSIDE OF BEND. TOTAL TIME UNDERGROUND WAS AROUND TWO HOURS. SAFETY EQUIPMENT WAS PROVIDED BY THE TOUR COMPANY. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED HALF-DAY TRIP.
