Yeah it's pretty amazing! When we were there a few days prior it didn't look anything like that since it had been raining for about 2 weeks non-stop. Luckily it cleared right up for the raft
This adventure had it all! How cool was the trolley thing! Epic video, can’t wait to see your channel absolutely blow up cause honestly, that was so enjoyable to watch, hooked from the start!
What a bunch of experiences!In Zealand I am fascinated by the unregulated rivers that flow freely through the valleys.Their color varies from glacial white to turquoise green.Real gem.Paddling recquires concentration so thanks to your own video you had the opportunity to see where you have been driving.,,😊Hello from Czechia.Enjoy!
My husband and I visited NZ years ago,we drove around the South and North islands in a rented car,but as tourists so I am very interested in your videos.I will look with you in places that I would not have been able to get to.Thank you very much!@@ChrisandDanya
We did a course in Queenstown and then purchased our rafts through them. Highly recommend taking a course. There's only so much technique they can teach you, but the safety aspects and how to read the river are crucial
Nice video Chris and Danya, I'd been planning to do this trip this summer. Do you mind if I ask what camera you use? The audio in particular sounds good to me. Thanks again!
Awesome fun it looks. Can a novice raft down this particular section of river to the Gorge? Or would be best to get some kind of training in first. Thanks
@nathanbates1260 we're in Perth right now! There is a site called packraftingtrips.nz that gives you a breakdown of some of the popular river runs across NZ. A goos entry level one could be the Capless River near Glenorchy/Queenstown. That's the first trip we did on our own. The main rapids are near the end and can easily be portaged
@@c.gtramping All the hiking and packrafting was shot on a GoPro Hero 10, but the shots of walking around the gorge at the end were shot on a Panasonic GH6
I'm using an Alpacka Gnarwhal and Danya is using an Alpacka Wolverine. All the hiking and packrafting was shot on a GoPro Hero 10, but the shots of walking around the gorge at the end were shot on a Panasonic GH6
My red one is about ~3.3 kg and Danyas is a bit lighter at ~3.1kg. There's a bunch of different models between 1.5 - 3.5 kg that are all rated for different whitewater. Then you've got to factor in the weight of the other gear like helmet, PFD, wetsuit/drysuit, paddle, throw bags and other safety gear. You're looking at another 2 kg on-top of the raft at least, ours is probably more like 3 kg
We don't really have any travel plans for the next few years. Moving back to Canada next year and will be there for quite a while. Haven't looked into Kashmir, but will take a look now 🙏
This safety video should be shown on all Air New Zealand flights. Thanks guys, I'm happy to watch. Cheers
Thank you Richard! 🙏
I can't get over how blue the river is, looks lovely to raft in.
Yeah it's pretty amazing!

Did the gorge in a car tube a few years ago. Keen to hit it in my packraft after seeing this!
Definitely worth it! A few adrenaline pumping parts for less experienced packrafters, but overall a really good trip
Thanks for the great adventure
Thanks for watching Matthew!
blue water, that's an amazing place !
One of the best on the West Coast!
Totally epic - awesome adventure and footage - great job
Thank you 🙏 Was an awesome adventure! 😁

It was an awesome adventure and a fun one to edit

It's such a stunning country with so many outdoor adventures packed into such a small country, it's mind boggling!
Thanks for watching 🙏❤️😊

@janakotrcova2790 sounds like a fantastic trip! Let us know if you have any questions 😊
Thank you very much for your kind reply,Chris and Danya,I am keeping my fingers crossed for you on your next hikes!😊@@ChrisandDanya
That’s a top edit brother, the back and forth for the camera, makes some truly beautiful cut shots. 👌
Thanks brotha! 🙏❤️
This was a fun one
That looks mint ! definitely got to make a trip over the ditch 😊
Highly recommend! New Zealand is such a beautiful country with so much to do
Hey Chris and Danya
Did you do a course for the pack rafting? Did you buy your own rafts?
I’m a kiwi living in WA, but this looks like a heap of fun
We did a course in Queenstown and then purchased our rafts through them. Highly recommend taking a course. There's only so much technique they can teach you, but the safety aspects and how to read the river are crucial
Watching right now . I watch your videos fulll 😀 and we are coming this November 😀
How exciting, you'll have such a wonderful time!
Nice video Chris and Danya, I'd been planning to do this trip this summer. Do you mind if I ask what camera you use? The audio in particular sounds good to me. Thanks again!
In this video we mainly used a GoPro Hero 10, but we have a wind sock type thing around it which helps stop most wind from messing up the audio
cheers@@ChrisandDanya
Wow ❤
Awesome fun it looks. Can a novice raft down this particular section of river to the Gorge? Or would be best to get some kind of training in first. Thanks
Definitely need to do a beginners course first and go on some easier trips before tackling this one. Packrafting Queenstown runs a good course!
@@ChrisandDanya Thanks. Coming over from Perth soon so will check them out. Thanks 🙏

@@ChrisandDanya thankyou heaps for the info. Definitely will check them out. Enjoy hot sunny Perth
Very interesting crossing this river 😂😂
Was a lot of fun!
Ever do anything in the north island? I have just got to NZ from the UK (to live forever) and my packrafts are arriving soon!
Haven't done anything in the north island. But check out PRANZ and packraftingtrips.co.nz
There's a few nice rivers in the NI. Posting a vid of Whirinaki river next week. Check it out 👌🏽
Love from india ❤
❤️🙏
What cameras are you using to film this?

nice
Thank you King 🙏
Hi, just wanna ask. What camera gear and raft are you using? thanks.

@@ChrisandDanya Thanks, mate. Great help.
@FrancisAlbert1990 no worries at all, let me know if you've got any other questions
How much do those rafts weigh?
My red one is about ~3.3 kg and Danyas is a bit lighter at ~3.1kg. There's a bunch of different models between 1.5 - 3.5 kg that are all rated for different whitewater.
Then you've got to factor in the weight of the other gear like helmet, PFD, wetsuit/drysuit, paddle, throw bags and other safety gear. You're looking at another 2 kg on-top of the raft at least, ours is probably more like 3 kg
I would love to travel with u ....❤ come to India . Do u know beauty of Kashmir ?
We don't really have any travel plans for the next few years. Moving back to Canada next year and will be there for quite a while.
Haven't looked into Kashmir, but will take a look now 🙏
Have u seen Lost leblanc Canada vlog in van . I would love to see your Canada country trip ❤
@harshvardhannaik1959 have not seen that video, but will check it out! We'll be there for a few years, so we'll have lots of videos 😊
