Kiwi Packraft started the same way most good Kiwi adventures do—with two mates looking at a map and wondering, "What if we went that way?"

Countless expeditions into the Southern Alps, Fiordland, volcanic plateaus and forgotten valleys quickly taught us that rivers are either barriers—or highways.

Packrafting changed everything.

Instead of turning back at flooded rivers or spending days walking around inaccessible country, we discovered entirely new ways to explore New Zealand.

That experience became Kiwi Packraft.

We don't simply sell gear.

We use it.

Every raft, paddle, dry bag and accessory has one purpose:

Helping you reach places few people ever see.

Whether you're hunting, fly fishing, bikepacking or planning your next multi-day adventure, we're committed to supplying equipment that performs when failure isn't an option.

Our philosophy is simple:

Reliable gear. Honest advice. Wild adventures.
