Packrafting
We work with Huw and team at Packraft Queenstown who specialise in small group guided packrafting trips and courses from our base in Queenstown New Zealand. Packrafts – lightweight, packable boats, have changed the way we travel through the backcountry. Weighing only 3kg (6 pounds) and packing down to the size of a sleeping bag means these boats can easily be carried into previous inaccessible and untouched rivers. Despite their small size and weight, Packrafts are incredibly tough, easy to paddle and capable of handling some challenging whitewater. That being said, Packrafts are a perfect vessel for any ability to use and we can adapt our trip to suit a range of physical abilities, including those who rely on a wheelchair for mobility.
Requirements
Packrafting is the perfect river experience for anybody with limited mobility. Huw the head honcho of Packraft Queenstown has worked extensively with Makingtrax to make the trips tailor-made to you ability and requirements. Depending on what requirements you may need, there is a support harness and a tandem packraft available so your guide can assist you down the river. It is mandatory that you have hand function and basic swimming ability. With a number of river options available, Huw will design the trip with assistance of Makingtrax adaptive advisors to you and your team.
