Whether you’re interested in an epic snowshoeing adventure with buddies, exploring underground lava tubes with the kiddos, or finding the best winter beers in town, Central Oregon’s various tour experts have got you covered.
Here’s some of our favorite guided winter adventures:
Bonfire on the Snow
Snowshoe with your Wanderlust Tours guide to a quiet spot in the snowy forest to bask at a glowing bonfire in the middle of an amazing hand-carved amphitheater in the snow. Relax around the fire enjoying delectable desserts and hot drinks while naturalist guides share fun facts about the forest, its animal life and the night sky.
Snowshoe Tour
Snowshoe off trail into a snowy winter wonderland on Wanderlust’s small group tours. Naturalist guides bring the area alive with vibrant interpretation, snow play for all ages and simple inspiration of nature’s winter wonder. This trip is magical with snow-laden trees, animal tracks to follow and the quiet of a snow-hushed forest.

Lava Tube Cave Tours
These large, cool lava tube caves are fun and fascinating for the whole family. Outfitted with helmets and headlamps, Wanderlust guides will help you discover secret rooms, great cave history and what lives and grows in the caves.
Moonlight and Starlight Snowshoe Tours
Snowshoe by the light of the moon. Discover the Cascades under the bright moonlight reflecting off the white snow and look for signs of animals in their nocturnal wonderland. Wanderlust Tours runs monthly moonlight snowshoe trips for the few nights surrounding each full moon from November to April.
