Traveling to Sunriver Resort

For those of you who do not live in Bend, OR, we have you covered! Please check out this travel guide for more information about how to get to Sunriver Resort and where to stay while you are here.

Getting To Bend, OR

There are three ways we expect most folks from out of town to arrive at Sunriver Resort: car, shuttle bus or flight. The folks in Bend have published a handy Getting to Bend guide that covers all of this.

Hacker Bus from Portland, OR

We are going to charter a shuttle bus from Portland, OR to bring people to Sunriver on August 30 and to return them to Portland, OR on September 2. The buses will depart Portland, OR on August 30 around 2:30pm for an arrival into Sunriver of roughly 6:30pm.

Hacker Train from Seattle, WA

In conjunction with our plan to charter shuttle buses, we highly recommend folks traveling down from Seattle consider taking the train. It's a truly beautiful trip, the trains have Wi-Fi, and you can get up and move around during the journey.

We recommend the following trains:

  • Aug 30 // 11 Coast Starlight train - departs Seattle, WA at 9:50am, arrives Portland, OR at 1:50pm
  • Sep 02 // 14 Coast Starlight train - depart Portland, OR at 3:56pm, arrives Seattle, WA at 7:51pm

If you end up purchasing tickets on these trains PLEASE make sure to secure a ticket on the Hacker Bus. The shuttles will have limited capacity, so don't delay.

Car Pools

We are also interested in helping people organize car pools departing from and return to Portland. If you are interested in catching a ride in a car pool or offering some seats in your car, please check-out our Discord where we have set-up a forum for people to offer and ask for rides.

Flying in to RDM

If you plan on flying, the closest airport to Sunriver with is RDM. Sunriver Resort is roughly 40 minutes from the airport, so make sure you secure a spot on our free airport shuttle. This is our current rough schedule:

  • Aug 30 - shuttles departing RDM every hour from 11am - 4pm
  • Sep 2 - shuttle departing Sunriver Resort at 11am

If our shuttle doesn't work for you (timing, fully booked, etc) RDM has an excellent Ground Transporation Guide that provides all the local options.

NOTE: Alaska Airlines cancelled the only direct flight between PDX and RDM. There are plans to restore this service, but probably not in time for the conference. So if your plan was to fly from Portland, please consider the Hacker Bus or plan to drive.

Traveling from Seattle, WA

If you are traveling from Seattle, WA we recommend the following options:

  • Round trip flight in/out of RDM ($160 - $220) + Free Shuttle
  • Hacker Train ($200 USD) + Hacker Bus ($100 USD)

Traveling from Portland, OR

If you are traveling from Portland, OR we recommend taking the Hacker Bus. There is no direct flight from PDX to RDM, so you would have to connect through Seattle and plane tickets are currently over $250.

Traveling from Vancouver, BC

If you are traveling from Vancouver, BC we recommend the following options:

  • Flights to/from RDM ($300 - $500 USD) + Free Shuttle
  • Flights to/from Portland ($250 USD) + Hacker Bus ($100 USD)
  • Flights to/from Seattle ($200 USD) + Hacker Train ($200 USD) + Hacker Bus ($100 USD)

It mostly depends on your budget for travel and how fast you want to get here!
