We ask all potential customers to carefully review the following information to comply with New Zealand WorkSafe regulations regarding natural hazards and risk disclosure.
Risk Disclosure for Packrafting New Zealand Activities
Our activities take place entirely in the outdoors, meaning we operate in environments where Mother Nature sets the terms. Participants must be prepared to encounter and manage a variety of natural conditions and risks. If you are unsure of what this entails or lack awareness of the inherent challenges and risks, our tours and services may not be suitable for you.
Minimum Requirements
Participation in our activities requires a baseline knowledge of outdoor environments and an appropriate level of fitness, which vary depending on the specific tour or product. Please review the detailed expectations for each activity to ensure you meet the necessary standards.
Note: Please read our product-specific expectations, and don’t come back later and tell us we haven’t warned you.

Suitability: We prioritize the safety and quality of our products. If you are unwilling to research your activity thoroughly, we reserve the right to decline your participation.
What We Do Not Offer
Equipment Rentals: We do not provide gear rentals.
Day or Overnight Trips for Beginners: We do not offer “follow the guide” tours to just fill an time slot in your calendar or guided day or overnight trips.
By acknowledging this disclosure, you confirm that you understand the risks, responsibilities, and expectations associated with our products.
