History

Wanderlust Tours, a private corporation, was founded in September 1993 and is owned by David and Aleta Nissen. The passion they bring to the company shines forth daily on the interpretive tours that you will or may have already experienced. Their interest is the story that the landscape has to share with locals and visitors and getting people more involved in that story in their daily lives. We believe our mindset molded Wanderlust Tours and gives life to how we interact with you, our guest. Perhaps due to our passion for our quality tours, Wanderlust Tours has racked up a few awards over the years. That tells us we are doing something right. More importantly, though, it has become our guests comments that tell us we are doing our work well. Our incredible office staff and guides along with the grandeur of nature will ensure the time you choose to spend with us will be long remembered as an outstanding event in your lives.
