This is packrafting!

A packraft is an inflatable, whitewater capable boat that packs down to the size of a small sleeping bag and only weights 2-3kg, so you can easily take it with you in a backpack on your adventures! Alpacka Raft invented the modern packraft 20 years ago and through continuous research & development, the quality, performance and durability of Alpacka’s packrafts is still unreached by any other brand.

Get inspired and informed by some of the best packrafting videos from around the world! Adventure films, beginners guide, whitewater tricks, bikerafting, conservation films and much more. No matter if you are just curious about packrafting or are a seasoned packrafter - there is something for everybody!

100 Miles from Fly Out Media - This trip was not a first descent on an unnamed river. It was not some epic of mankind’s quest through the uncharted. But, after going 100 river miles without seeing another human soul, it felt like it. To revel in the unknown is the greatest thrill for an angler. And when it’s all over, the fishing, the adventure, and the solitude all culminate into a shared experience with the company you keep. Related Products: Oryx, Forager, Shred Apart Paddle

Refuge a Short Film from Fly Out Media - The chaos of ordinary life can make us weary. 24-hour news, social media, celebrity culture, smart phones, and political jib-jab are exhausting. Over time and repetition, it all can make life seem ugly. In America, we are lucky to be owners of the most beautiful places through our public lands – truly our nation’s greatest invention. We all have sanctuary; we have a place to heal. We all have a place to escape, take a deep breath, and find refuge. The most exotic of which exists in Alaska’s far north, inside the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Related Products: Alpacka Series, Paddles
