Van Isle Treks was founded with a passion for connecting people to Vancouver Island’s wilderness in a safe, responsible, and meaningful way. Our focus is on providing guided experiences that balance adventure with stewardship and safety.  

​

Meet the Founder - 
My name is Hazen Sage, and I grew up in the outdoors of British Columbia. My background includes years of Search and Rescue experience, advanced training through Army Cadets and outdoor programs, and a lifelong connection to the mountains. These experiences shaped the values that Van Isle Treks is built upon, preparation, safety, and respect for the land.  

​

Today, I oversee operations and ensure every outing reflects these principles. Our guides bring knowledge of the terrain, strong backcountry skills, and a shared commitment to stewardship.

 

Together, we create opportunities for hikers, tourists, and locals to experience Vancouver Island’s most beautiful landscapes with confidence.  

​

Van Isle Treks exists to make the backcountry accessible while protecting it for the future.
