Tour Information

Packraft Downriver Lv2

This pack raft course is for those who can paddle in a river with strong flow and occasional whitewater. One of the great sensations with pack rafting is that you can feel the small waves moving up and down underneath you on the river, which you do not experience with normal rafting.

Even on the relatively mellow water of the summer Tone River you will feel the thrills as if you are on a much faster flow.

Please note: due to river flow we only operate this tour during summer (July - October) In the event of the river increasing flow to over a safe level for packrafting we will give you the option to switch your tour to rafting.
