There's no trip like this in New Zealand. Like whitewater rafting, only you're in charge of your own raft. Our expert guides have been teaching people how to Packraft for years and the culmination of all this experience has been distilled into this action packed whitewater adventure.
Not only will you learn new skills and have an awesome time smashing through the rapids, but you'll do it in stunning environment on the Rees River, srounded by like minded people and some of the best Packrafting guides and instructors in the world.
Your day starts in Queenstown where your guide will meet you and drive you over towards Glenorchy and beyond to the Rees River. We'll get you guys all suited and booted into our paddling gear then head down to the river to begin our training session.
We have an incredible place to learn to Packraft, with small eddies to use so you can learn how to keep control of your raft whilst interacting with the different currents that the river throws at us. We'll also run through an important aspect of river running, how to deal with things when we make mistakes and swim!
Before long you'll be getting the hang of boat control and looking confortable in your raft. At this stage we'll have a little bit of lunch before locating in the van up towards the top of our famous whitewater run.
The decent down the river involves the most challenging rapids it's possible to run after just a days training. Grade 2 rapids might not sound like much, but it's more than enough of a challenge for most folks on their first day out on the water!
After our joy lap through the rapids, we'll jump off the river and get changed back into your nice warm and dry clothes whilst your guide recovers the vehicle from the put in and we make our way back toward Queenstown.
