West Branch:
Perfect for first-timers and playful spirits, the West Branch offers an easygoing yet exciting journey through glacier-fed waters, rolling rapids, and jaw-dropping views. Paddle through turquoise pools beneath towering peaks—it’s the ideal introduction to packrafting, with plenty of time to soak up the scenery (and maybe a few splashes).
East Branch:
Ready to turn things up a notch? Take a heli flight deep into the remote East Branch and packraft out through a wild alpine valley few ever reach. With swifter currents and more technical features, this full-day adventure is best suited to confident paddlers. Our experienced guides will lead the way through this secluded slice of wilderness—topped off with a handcrafted local lunch in one of New Zealand’s most untouched settings.
