About Wildbridge Tours
Why we exist
For adventurous women seeking more than just a vacation, we offer eco-conscious, multi-day backpacking trips on Vancouver Island. Our coastal hiking adventures are thoughtfully designed to help you connect with nature, with yourself, and with a community of like-minded women.
There’s something special in the unique opportunities for connection that arise when we step away from our usual environments and immerse ourselves in nature.
Things that matter to us
Mindful adventure
Nature changes us, and we choose to let it, doing our best to choose gear and practices that protect the places we love.
Community-Orientation
We source locally and support
other small businesses on the
coast.
Sustainability through Collaboration
Building a vibrant
network of local artists, food
growers, and makers whose work
and wisdom enrich the experience
for every participant.
Meet the founder
Leah (she/her) is a nurse turned wilderness guide with a passion for spending time outside!
Leah lives on Vancouver Island, moonlights as a cafe cook when she’s not guiding and spends the rest of her time in the garden or on the trail. Her dream is to deepen WildBridge’s local roots sourcing food from island farmers and bringing in local creatives to help tell the story of the coast.
“Witnessing strangers with totally different life stories experience nature together is what makes guiding worth it.”
What’s in a name?
The name “WildBridge Tours” was chosen with careful intention. “Wild” reflects the untamed beauty of nature and the adventurous spirit of the travelers who come out with us. “Bridge” symbolizes connection, a subtle yet meaningful nod to our human need to be not alone.
