4 Day Packrafting Retreat

This is a perfect intermediate Packrafters 4 day retreat. One day brushing up on rescue skills on the Rees River, a tight and technical grade 3 section with some pools to work on re-entries and moves galore to replicate some parts of the Landsborough.

Our next session will be on the Roaring Megs Section of the Kawarau River. A big volume Grade 3 section to replicate some of the bigger rapids on the Landsborough. Full of seam lines and surgy whirlpools to begin with before changing in character to a series of big and bouncy grade 3 wave train style rapids. A great test of our team work and staying together in a challenging, but super fun section.

With all our skills polished, we'll drive up the westcoast the next day and begin our Landsborough adventure! A 16km hike to harper bluff sees us arrive at the historic raft camp set at the edges of a stunning gorge. The next day we'll be heading back down river, taking on a series of grade 3 rapids initially before the river changes in nature to shingle bed grade 2+ wave trains. Simple but fun!

 We'll return to queenstown, tired but beaming!
