Guide Bio
I have been guiding in some capacity for the past 19 years. I am the owner and one of the lead guides for Sea to Sky Expeditions. Training through the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides gave me my start. I continue to enjoy leading multi-day backpacking trips and I also love paddling canoes throughout BC and up in the Yukon. Regardless of the trip or the activity my real passion is meeting new people and introducing them to Canada’s amazing wilderness.
We just finished the most amazing trip, paddling down the Yukon river for about 8 days with Mark and his team. I fell in love with these people on day 1. They are fun, extremely professional, caring and organized. You feel safe 24/7. From amazing story telling, to good food (Freshly baked goods in the middle of nowhere, really!!), breath taking views and quality time, I highly recommend traveling with Sea To Sky Expedition if you love the outdoors. Can’t wait for the next trip with you guys!
I very highly recommend Mark & Sea to Sky Expedition. I experienced the West Coast Trail twice with them (liked it so much 1st time with Mark so signed up again). Everything was so well organized & everyone’s needs met. Amazing experience. I still smile at some of Mark’s moments including the braveheart speech just before the ladders & the proper way to hike through the mud.
Cheers, Dave
The GuideAdvisor team spent an afternoon with Mark and the Sea to Sky Expedition guides in Squamish, BC and they were all great. We watched as they efficiently packed up gear from a recent excursion and heard stories about their favourite trips – everything from witnessing humpback whales using bubble nets to catch prey to setting the world record of most hiking trips on the West Coast Trail. The Sea to Sky guides are professional, fun and entertaining.
