Thomson River Packraft Journey

Try a packrafting Day on the Thomson River.

Scheduled to coincide with a water release from Carran Carran, this should be an exciting intro to other adventures. With a paddle from the Walhalla Railway Bridge down to Coopers Creek Campground, this should be a great day on the water.

This day trip is design to be a consolidation of skills learned in the basic courses, but will touch on packing for day trips and overnight trips, as well as the gear you need to carry and other essentials.

There are some great rapids of Grade 2 to 2+ standard, which will test your skills, and enable us to learn and consolidate our white water handling skills.

You will be guided with qualified guides and offered instruction and river reading instruction along the way. The team will go through setting up your pack raft in the most suitable way, learn to stow gear and balance the kayak, learn to outfit the pack raft- all this before you even get on the water. And then review basic paddling techniques and moving water and white water skills.

A great course to get you started on your new journey.
