Mitchell River Gourmet Packraft Trip

Beginner and Intermediate Packrafting on the Mitchell River.

Come and enjoy the wilderness of the Mitchell River National Park. The experienced and highly qualified guides love this trip, and are excited to give you an experience that you won’t forget. This trip is suited to the adventurous and those with some paddling experience.

You will start the day with a short walk down the hill to Den of Nargun and the Mitchell River. You will need to carry all your gear for the day in a hiking pack. Once you arrive at the river, you will pack and inflate your packrafts and get on the river. The first hour will be spent learning and reviewing your strokes and techniques. This is a must, as the first rapid can be a bit of a wake-up-call. You go straight into the whitewater at that point, and there is no turning back. A 10 kilometre paddle, with lots of rapids, adreneline and fun along the way.

Canoes Plus will supply a gourmet lunch at the Old Weir, and then onwards to the finish through some of the best rapids in that section. Your final point will be the Glenaladale bridge.

Social Wine and Cheese at 6pm On Saturday 4 July.
Rafting Sunday 5 July.
