MANAPOURI MAGIC 3 DAYS
Experience the packrafting Lifestyle
Experience the packrafting lifestyle. Our three day self-guided trip is the perfect wilderness get-away for those prior outdoor camping experience, and offers a real chance to discover the potential of these awesome little boats.
PACKRAFTS ARE
- Super light, weighing as little as 2.3 kg!
- Extremely stable, even in whitewater.
- Small, packing down to the size of one man tent
- Super robust and hard to damage, but easy to fix
- Much more comfortable then a normal kayak
- Highly addictive (consider yourself warned…)
- Able to carry heaps of gear, even a bike!
Packrafting, in short, is a mix of kayaking (or rafting) and tramping. They are paddled like a kayak but have the stability of a Raft. The boats themselves are super light and fold down to the size of a one man tent.
