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 what exploration can be squeezed into a realistic holiday duration. We know that your time is precious, and want to create the best experience for each and every one of our customers. We provide a high level of logistics so that you can 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, both as a kayak coach, and wilderness guide. Every one of Evoke's expeditions has been created from Erin & Rich's own personal explorations. They've cherry-picked the very best adventures and destinations to share with others.
No two expeditions are ever the same; we work with the weather and tailor our trips to 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.
