I am hooked on experiencing the marine world in this way I have just returned from a 4 day trip into Desolation Sound with Wild Root Journeys and it was an amazing experience. A long time dream come true. I am not an experiences paddler, but Silke's clear instructions made me comfortable in the kayak and made me experience the strength in my body I wasn't sure I had. Great equipment is provided, from storage bags to tents to kayaks. Silke provided excellent guidance, fantastic food, humour, and lots of sanitation in the time of COVID. She is extremely respectful of the nature we were in, and shared her knowledge of the area geographically and culturally. Smart decision making on the spot to account for changes in the weather, the wind, the currents, she really made us feel at easy even when the waters became a bit rougher. We moved with purpose! Thank you Silke and Kaily for your company, your joy and your ability to embrace everybody with ease and comfort. I want to go out again with you to explore the outer coast!

Cates Park Paddle to Jug Island Since my broken group island paddle with Wild root journeys I knew there wasnt any other way id want to spend my birthday! With full confidence that our guide Silke would practice all social distancing and sanitization practices I felt safe to invite my family. From the start to finish this journey was organized and informative. My siblings had all different levels of paddling experience and Silkes patience really shone bright that meant for a comfortable paddle and pace. Along the way we got to see plenty star fish, eagles and seals! When ready for our delicious lunch Silke found us a private beach to dock and enjoy the views away from crowds. To our delight on our paddle back Silke shared Indigenous history of where we were passing by. Overall this was a perfect day to connect with family and nature and will be cherished for many years to come!! Cant speak highly enough of Wild root journeys and the fantastic staycation celebration it turned out to be.

Awesome experience! I had an excellent time on my 6 hr kayak tour of Deep Cove. I highly recommend West Root Journeys!!!!

Cliffs to Caves I had an amazing day kayaking with Silke. She is an experienced guide and shared her interesting knowledge about kayaking and the environment. You can see that she loves her job 🙂

Vancouver kayaking Beautiful day out on the water with Silke - who is so sincere, thoughtful, and knowledgeable! Best kayaking instruction I've ever received. Comfortable and welcomed as part of the queer community. Thank you!

The best dose of self care! This is how I wish all guided trips were!! Silke is simply wonderful! Our day out was the perfect experience for the times. Such a beautiful reminder about the necessity of simple time spent in nature. It was soul nourishing and I'm glad we all booked ourselves some self care during this time. Silke is kind, funny, in flow and a pleasure to be around. Totally trust her and her knowledge out on the water, and appreciate her easy flow. She kept the group light and the smiles coming. Thank you so much!!

Kayaking must Silke made my group and I feel very welcomed. She was very patient with teaching kayaking techniques and lessons. Delicious lunch provided, beautiful day trip on the water with the views and different animals we saw! Highly recommended

Relaxing and Breathtaking Indian Arm is gorgeous and full of little surprises. You can do a lot in one day and I highly recommend this tour if you're looking to experience some of the best Vancouver has to offer.

Amazing! Booked an 8 person 3 hour Deep Cove Trip for my birthday! All beginners. Had an absolutely amazing time. Our guides were ready to go when we got there, so friendly and relaxed and made us feel so at ease and safe. We headed straight out after a quick but thorough safety talk. They got us all situated and comfortable in our kayaks. Really took great care of us. We stopped at a little beach for a snack and they brought me A BIRTHDAY SURPRISE. CAKE! from a little bakery near her home. Completely went above and beyond my expectations. Silke shared some really cool information about the land we were near. Truly felt like we were travelling with friends not guides. They were very patient while we all got our groove in the water. I will ALWAYS choose Wild Root Journeys for any future kayaking endeavors. Truly wonderful people.

Deep Cove day journey We booked Wild Roots for the Deep Cove day journey for my girlfriends bachlorette party. It was an amazing day! We saw tons of wildlife, and spent six hours Kayaking around gorgeous Deep Cove. We stopped for a provided lunch and all dietary restrictions were 100% accomodated. Lunch was healthy and we ate it picnic style on a beautiful island. Silke our guide was so knowledgable about the area, wildlife, and on Kayaking generally. We had some beginners and everyone felt safe, taken care of, and had a great time. We also had one pregnant participant and she was put in the Princess seat in a two person Kayak with our guide so that she could rest when needed and just enjoy the view. She loved it! Absolutely spectacular day. Cannot say enough good things about Wild Roots. Completely tailored our journey to what we were looking for. Amazing day, amazing guide, and it really was a journey worth taking! I would do it again in a heartbeat! And absolutely recommend it as a bachlorette event. Thank you Wild Roots!

Awesome trip to God's Pocket! I absolutely enjoyed my trip in God’s Pocket. Silke and Elizabeth were amazing and totally in sync with each other; a total and complementary team effort! We were blessed with delicious meals, great equipment (kayaks and kayaking gear, tents, even stuff bags!), fascinating facts and comprehensive knowledge about the natural and indigenous world we were immersed in, and an all-round awesome feeling of being in this incredible part of the country. I have already recommended Wild Root Journeys to others and would not hesitate to join Silke and her team on another adventure …. soon I hope!

Amazing Bowen Island Adventure Silke took our group of six out on a new route off of Bowen Island. She has amazing gear, patience, & expertise that made the afternoon really fun for all. The weather did not completely cooperate (it rained for much of the time) but Silke’s manner made it a great time. I highly recommend a trip with her. This was the second one for me and my teenage son..... hopefully there will be more.

Fantastic day out! My Girlfriend and I went on the Deep Cove day out to celebrate her birthday and it was absolutely brilliant. Silke is a fantastic and knowledgeable guide who made it a very memorable day.

Wonderful trip to the Broken Islands, BC I just came back from a trip to the broken Islands with Wild Root and can't recommend this company enough. Silke is a great guide, very knowledgeable and well-informed about the history of the area, how to minimize the environmental impact of our presence and how to travel in a respectful way on land that belongs to the Nuu-chah-nulth 1st Nations. She really added an educational element to our trip. Plus the area is gorgeous, and the experience of being in deep nature and on the water (and in the water. It's warm enough to swim) - truly profound. Plus 3 healthy and delicious meals a day + snacks. We were spoiled!

4 day Broken Islands kayaking trip My husband and two teenage daughters had a wonderful and memorable kayaking trip with Silke. She got us motivated to paddle each day, showing us the nooks and crannies of nature in this very special place. I was grateful for her expertise and care. She pushed us to challenge ourselves physically, gave us a way to understand our surroundings, was able to very quickly note each of our strengths and cooked us delicious, healthy meals and snacks! What more can I say? At the end of our trip, as we were packing things away, we noticed a logo on her truck that said...."We offer guides with experience and heart." It summed it all up. We'll hopefully be back for more time with Silke soon. This was a trip we'll remember for a long time.
