Trip profile

What to expect.

Outdoor

We’ll be outdoors 24/7—a rare and unforgettable experience that’s both freeing and empowering. With no phone reception, no roads, and few distractions, it’s just us and the wilderness. Paddle along the beautiful river, spot countless birds, and immerse yourself fully—a true wilderness adventure at its finest.

Comfort

This trip offers very basic comforts. Most nights will be spent camping in the wilderness. Thanks to our packrafts, we can carry enough food and a few personal comfort items without having to haul everything on foot.

Physical

The paddling itself isn’t very physically demanding, but spending 24/7 outdoors can be tiring. Weather conditions may change, attention is required on the river, and you might get little sleep—especially if your tent buddy happens to snore…

Technical

If you are an experience wild camper, and you did some packrafting or kanu trips before, you’ll easily find your flow. For those who haven’t been rafting before, or are not so familiar with wilderness trips, don’t worry, we have a packraft and outdoorguide along to train you and answer your questions.
