PACKRAFTING TOURS

THE UPCOMING ADVENTURE SPORT!

What is packrafting

Pack rafts are a small, portable inflatable boat designed for use in all bodies of water, including technical whitewater, ocean bays, and fjords. A packraft is designed to be light enough to be carried for extended distances, which makes them very versatile. They are very easy to maneuver and easy to learn the basics.

You will be in control of your own packraft. The guide(s) will teach you all of the basics you need to navigate down the river; paddling, tilting, angles, reading water. A guide will lead the course giving you feedback as you progress and adjusting the challenges.

We currently have 5 levels of packrafting courses, starting with flat water at level 1 and progressing to overnight camp trips at level 5.
