A packraft is a small, ultra-lightweight, compact inflatable boat that can be carried in a backpack. Once you arrive at your destination, it can be inflated in just a few minutes, allowing you to navigate rivers, lakes, or even calm stretches of sea.
What makes packrafting special? It is designed for adventurers seeking freedom: whether you are a hiker, camping enthusiast, or whitewater fan, packrafting allows you to access remote and wild areas independently.
Packrafting is accessible to anyone aged 12 and over, provided they can swim.
Whether you are athletic, contemplative, or looking for a challenge at your own pace, this is a new way to experience nature and whitewater.
When it comes to navigating calm or whitewater, another popular watercraft often comes to mind: the kayak. While they share some similarities, the kayak and the packraft serve very different purposes. The kayak is built for performance—it offers speed, precise handling, and excellent glide, making it ideal for long distances or sea outings. In contrast, the packraft is an ultra-light inflatable boat designed for adventure and versatility. Easy to carry in a backpack, it allows you to combine hiking, biking, or trekking with river descents. Though not as fast as a kayak, the packraft is much more stable and beginner-friendly, making it increasingly popular among explorers seeking freedom. So, while the kayak appeals to performance enthusiasts, the packraft opens up new possibilities for those looking to venture off the beaten path!
