about us
Evoke Adventure is a small guide-run business. Born from a deep passion for exploration of remote and beautiful wilderness. Evoke pushes the boundaries of how much adventure you can squeeze into a realistic holiday duration. We know your time is precious, and we want to create the best experience for each customer. Therefore, we provide a high level of logistics to make the most of your time with us in our incredible locations.
Evoke Adventure was founded by Erin Bastian, a passionate expedition kayaker with a wealth of experience as a kayak coach and wilderness guide. Erin has led more than 100 wilderness expeditions. Some of her personal achievements include rowing 3000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean, linking 17 Greek islands to cross the Aegean Sea by kayak, circumnavigating Sardinia, Corsica and Menorca, and padding 800km down the remote west coast of Patagonia.
Evoke's expeditions originated from Erin's explorations and love for the locations. She has cherry-picked the very best sea kayaking destinations to share with others.
No two expeditions are ever the same. We like to work with the weather and tailor our trips to suit each group and individual embarking on an adventure with us.
meet the team
We are a partnership that creates, plans, and guides all our own expeditions.
Erin Specialises in sea kayaking expeditions, is often drawn to cold, icy locations, and loves snowy mountains in winter. Whilst Rich's passion takes him high into the mountains or deep into the wilderness, the more remote, the better.
With over 30 years of expedition guiding under our belts, we are experienced at crafting truly unique experiences in wild and challenging corners of the world.
