WHAT PEOPLE SAY

I spent a week sea-kayaking with Erin in Scotland and it was an incredible trip. Erin is a wonderfully warm and patient instructor, the gear was all excellent and I couldn't have asked for a better adventure. Even in the occasional wet weather it was still such an enjoyable experience!

— Chloe Aust

We have arrived in Lofoten, and wow what a place! There is still snow on the hills, and the midnight sun is in full swing.

We can’t wait to pack our kayaks and explore!!!

It’s the people that make a trip magical!

Throw a group of people together, add a little discomfort, nature and a campfire and soon you’ll have a team.

There’s something magical about wide open spaces. They quiet the mind, expand your perspective, and remind you how big and beautiful the world really is.

Drifting quietly, finding stillness.
There’s a certain calm that comes with being on the water — no rush, no noise, just the gentle rhythm of the paddle and the world slowing down around you.
⁣
Kayaking isn’t just about movement — it’s about presence. A quiet way to connect with nature, and maybe a little more deeply with yourself.

Getting excited for exped.

@larahudsonintheuk loving her new PH Cetus, preping and packing ready for a week of island hopping near Stockholm.

@phseakayaks @palmequipment

The girls are going Scandie!

This morning was a packing frenzy, with gear chat accompanying coffee, and a lesson on how the heck we fit all this in a kayak. They’re off 6 days of wild Sweden. Nature reserves, and woodland camps here we come!

#sweden #seakayaking

What happens behind the scenes?

The photos never show the spreadsheets, the gear checks, or the late nights staring at maps. Behind every remote kayaking expedition is a mountain of invisible work: planning routes through unknown waters, prepping fresh food that’ll last for weeks, waterproofing every last item, double-checking safety kits, and solving a hundred logistical puzzles before we even set foot on the water. This isn’t just a paddle trip—it’s months of preparation packed into a boat. 🛶📍🥕

Our Top 10 Reasons to Try Kayaking

It’s no secret—sea kayaking is our passion. But why do we love it so much?

Here are 10 reasons we think you should take to the water this summer. From the serenity of wild open spaces to the thrill of personal challenge, kayaking offers something truly special for everyone.

#evokeadventure #shepaddles #SeaKayaking #GetOutdoors #WaterAdventure #ExploreMore #KayakSummer #OceanTime #LoveWhereYouPaddle #lofoten #visitlofoten @lofotenislands @visit_lofoten

There’s something magical about paddling on a glassy sea—where the horizon blurs and time slows down.
Each stroke melts stress away, each ripple carries you deeper into calm.

No crowds, no clocks—just the salt air, the sound of the paddle, and the quiet conversation between you and the ocean.

This is where peace lives.

Some experiences leave a lasting mark — a fortnight on the Isle of Skye was one of them.

Teeming with wildlife, shaped by breathtaking geology, and steeped in the raw beauty of true wilderness, Skye offers everything an adventurous soul could hope for. When the skies clear and high pressure lingers, there’s no better place to paddle.

#IsleOfSkye #SeaKayaking #WildScotland #AdventureAwaits #PaddleScotland #NatureLovers #WildernessEscape #GeologyGoals #SkyeHigh #OceanAdventures #ExploreMore #ScotlandUncovered

Being on the water on a beautiful day fills us with joy! There is now where I’d rather be. Time looses meaning and hours seem to just fly by.

#isleofskye @palmequipment #evokeadventue @rockpooloffical

Weather and food. The two most important factors for a good expedition.

In our experience the two factors that can throw our moral off kilter is when the weather makes it hard. Rain and head winds sap energy when kayaking over multiple days. The solution to the dip in moral, great hot food! A cup of hot chocolate and a biscuit can lift any mood. A warm full belly can help you reflect on your day, appreciate what you’ve achieved, and enjoy that feeling of tiredness that comes with physical effort.

#expedtion #evokeadventure @palmequipment

When the guidebook suggests a side quest, even kayaks will have a go at land exploring.

We didn’t regret the effort to beach our kayaks in a steep sides rocky canyon. At the very top we entered a pretty magical cave! Stalactites lined the walls and hung from the roof. With head torches handy we delved into the deep cave for what much have been 50m.

Thanks @doug.cooper.3979 for the cracking guide book! It’s making our paddle around Skye even more brilliant.

#seakayaking #isleofskye #adventure #evokeadventure

Planning a big trip and the anticipation that comes with it, is all part of the fun, whether that’s a committing headland or a seven day expedition.

Just jumping on the water without a plan or having an idea of what conditions you might meet, is often a recipe for disaster.

Expedition tactics can feel a lot like a good game of chess, plan it right and you’ll win the long game. Here’s a few things to think about:

- weather (particularly wind direction)
- tidal currents
- distances and goals
- campsites and water collection points
- backup plans and emergency escapes

Can you think of any thing else?

@palmequipment @phseakayaks @evoke_adventure #seakayakingadventures #evokeadventure

5 amazing days exploring the Isle of Skye. We couldn’t have asked for better conditions!

Seeing the Island by the sea made it even more magical. Towering cliffs and remote island views. Puffins, whales, seals and the occasional midge too.

#isleofskye #seakayaking #explorescotland #bythesea

Gliding through Ice & Silence
Paddling the raw, untouched coastline of East Greenland—where towering icebergs drift in turquoise waters and silence echoes louder than words. Every stroke brings you closer to ancient glaciers, Arctic wildlife, and a feeling of pure, wild freedom.

This isn’t just kayaking. It’s soul-stirring adventure on the edge of the world.

Would you brave these Arctic waters?

How do you communicate when on expedition?

Comms, weather, logistics all challenges when exploring remote locations.

We love using our Garmin inreach device, daily weather forecast messages make planning easier. Two way text communications helps with check-ins and logistics.

But let’s face it, we do like to go into the wild remote parts of this planet to get away from it all. To be fully immersed in nature. The less communication with the ‘real world’ the better, it’s good to get away sometimes.

Why is kayaking the best way to travel?

• You see every destination from a unique perspective. Completely away from the crowds.

• Traveling under your own steam has less impact on the environment. It also makes for a peaceful and tranquil experience.

• The sense of adventure. You never know what’s around the next corner, or where you might set up your tent for the night.

• You can go anywhere! No pavements, no roads, just open ocean and stunning coastlines.

• The wildlife! Whether that’s swimming beneath your kayak or watching it from your remote camp. You feel part of nature and often the wildlife is curious of you.

#adventuretravel #evokeadventure @palmequipment #seakayaking #shepaddles

We all start somewhere!

12 years ago I learnt from a friend how to catch a fish form my kayak. He taught me how to prepare and cook my fish on a fire. It was delicious! I didn’t think it was something I could do, and I surprised myself with being capable of the whole process.

Now, I get to share this skill with others. The skill of finding the right spot, using the right kit, technique and being patient. The idea we can fend for ourselves, go back to basics and be part of nature. Take only what you need and don’t waste what you take.

Expedition skills are more than just kayaking!

#expeditionkayaking #evokeadventure @palmequipment @erinbastian

How do you pack for a two week expedition?

Less is often more when you have to squeeze everything you need into a sea kayak, loading and unloading twice a day, carrying all your kit up and down the beach.

Lots of smaller bags are the key to fitting everything in! Expedition kayaking is doing a 3D jigsaw puzzle every morning. Give each bag a theme so everything is easier to find. I try to pack everything in the same place, creating a system and sticking to it will help you pack and locate your kit day after day.

#1 rule is everything goes in a dry bag!

@palmequipment @erinbastian #evokeadventure #expeditionkayaking

Summer dreaming. We can’t wait to head back to Lofoten! The freedom of traveling by kayak is calling us.

Camp cooking at its finest. Veg & noodle soup ❤️

Because we just love ice! @erinbastianexplores spending time down south guiding in Antarctica, where humpback whales blow so close to you kayak you get a fishy facial and leopard seals smile for the camera in between penguin hunts. What a magical wilderness.

What does WILD really feel like?

Greenland, for me is the wildest corner of the planet. The barren glacier carved landscape, swallows you. I sit watching the wild in awe. Feeling ever so tiny in this impressive world.

#greenland

It’s that time of year again when I migrate south, like an arctic turn. As an expedition paddler I’m drawn to cold ice waters and there is nowhere else on this earth quite like Antartica. The mountains are buried under glaciers, the water chocked full of icebergs and alive with wildlife.

Only one week to go before I depart and head south.

@palmequipment @erinbastianexplores

When girls go on expedition it’s always magic!

It’s not often we do a female specific expedition but when we do it never fails to create an amassing atmosphere. This year we are taking our Girls Go Scandie adventures to Sweden.

If your looking for a summer adventure check out our Link in Bio for more details or message us.

Walking the Welsh coast path with @walkingforashgate has been such a pleasure this weekend, and the weather did not disappoint.

After a close friend lost her battle with cancer Lisa decided to raise money for the hospice @ashgate_hospice who gave her such good care at the end of her journey.

If you’d like to follow Lisa’s epic 870 mile journey around the Welsh Coast Path give her a follow @walkingforashgate

Greenland. A place where even the wildlife makes you feel very small!

Hands down my favourite part of paddling in cold rich waters is the giants that feed there. Feasting on Krill, it’s ironic that these giants eat one of the the smallest creatures in our ocean.

The more time I spend with them the more I fall in love with these gentle giants. I could sit and watch them for hours diving and surfacing around my kayak.

Thanks @minerwilley for the shots of me

Expeditions aren’t just about under taking a journey. They can be about creating moments of pure clarity. Where nature makes you awe struck. Where chatter between team mates feels so natural, and being utters self sufficient makes total sense.

Sharing a little Lofoten love today. Kayaking has got to be one of the best ways to see these islands, and it feels like you are exploring where no one else goes. Empty beaches, remote camps and the coastline all to yourself.

#lofoten #seakayaking #expedition #explore #visitnorway #visitlofoten

So what do we eat on expedition?

A question we always get asked, and I’m proud to say real food! Camp cooking is one of the pleasures of camp life. Warm hearty and healthy food is exactly what you need after a long day on the water.

#campfood #campcooking #heartymeal #seakayaking

Mirrror calm waters reflect the towering mountains. A pretty special day in East Greenland.

Ice! One of the most incredible experiences as a paddler is weaving your way through an ice field. Big, small, crackling, crumbling, rolling, glistening ice. For some it’s magnetic, drawing you closer with it’s peaceful beauty. For others they can’t give it a wide enough berth. It’s unpredictable, yet so serene. But when it moves it can be explosive and powerful.

#greenland #seakayaking

Feeling super stoked to be heading back to Sweden again this summer. The recce team will be working hard to find new routes, camps and secret channels.

#sweden #stockholmkayaktrail #explore #newroutes

This time of year I’m normally packing all my warm kit and head south, as far south as you can go. These are a few snaps from last winter in Antartica. But this year I’m excited for a very different kind of winter. I won’t be getting seasick this season, I’ll be donning my skis instead and heading to the alps.

#antartica #seakayaking #wildlife

An adventure I always dreamed of doing. Paddling the ice waters of Greenland. The scale of this place is incredible. The mountains, icebergs and glaciers all reminding you quite how small you really are!

#greenland #seakayak #adventure #shepaddles

So we’re starting from scratch!

Yep, that’s right. After our social media got hacked and shutdown. We weren’t given much choice but to start from scratch. So here it is, our new channel. Starting from scratch isn’t all that bad. We can focus on sharing all our best content, tips and tempting adventures with you. Reconnect with those who followed us before and find new friends to paddle with in the future.

So say hi, follow, share and enjoy evoke insta 2.0.
