Alpacka Oryx

Alpacka's take on the classic open canoe, the Oryx provides all day seating comfort and easy paddling for two. The perfect 2 person packraft for traversing lakes, coastal tours and flatwater river systems.

When it comes to finding peace and tranquility on the water, there’s nothing quite like the experience of paddling a classic canoe at sunrise when the fog is just beginning to lift off the water. Coming in at under 5kgs, the Oryx provides that same experience in a lightweight and compact package. With the Cargo Fly internal storage system standard, it’s also built to take all of your gear for a multi-week expedition on long flatwater tours.

The Oryx is narrower and longer than the raft inspired Forager and features two specialized ergonomic seats that allow the paddlers to sit upright like a classic canoe. The high seating position is ideal for all day seating comfort, putting in miles, and relaxing while fishing or wildlife watching. The Oryx is also Alpacka's fastest flatwater boat hull.

Experienced whitewater canoeists will be able to run up to Class II+ whitewater with ease in the Oryx, but the Alpacka Forager is a much better multi-person whitewater packraft.

Due to the seating configuration, the Oryx is best paddled with a canoe style paddle. However, it can be paddled by a single stern paddler with a kayak paddle so that the front paddler can fish, take pictures, make lunch, play with the kids etc. Therefore, we recommend the Aquabound Shred-Apart paddle with the Oryx.

BUILD CONFIGURATIONS

OPEN TOURING: The Oryx is available only in the open touring build configuration. It is not available with spray decks or self bailing configurations due to the seating system.

CARGO FLY: Alpackas innovative Cargo Fly internal storage system comes standard on the Oryx. The Cargo Fly features an airtight zipper installed in the stern of the boat to allow you to store your gear inside the tubes. The system provides drier and more secure gear storage and improved paddling performance due to a lower center of gravity.

Internal Dry Bags may be purchased separately and are designed to work with the Cargo Fly system. The bags clip in place along each side of the tubes with a side release buckle and allow for better organization and weight balance than placing the contents of your pack loose inside the Cargo Fly.

There are many other methods of rolling and folding the boats that will result in a different packed size that may be more or less efficient for packing depending on the situation.

Actual capacity for any given trip will vary widely based on the paddler’s skill and water conditions. Please review our weight carrying capacity guide for further details
