Packraft New Zealand

Amazing down to earth, friendly team that are willing to help even an amateur adventure junkie like myself. Some real amazing product on offer too. I recommend the feather light pump to everyone, really compact and lightweight. Can see myself using it on my upcoming trips. Cant wait to get my hands on some more items off the shelf to add to my future adventures!

Thanks team at Packraft once again!

Great product, enthusiastic owner and can't wait to get back on the water in the new boats

Bought a Nirvana self bailing raft from packraft NZ last year, and Love it. Such a great way to enjoy our rivers and scenery. And Barney really knows his stuff.both about the gear he sells and where to go. Expert advise.

I brought a pack raft off Barny. Throughout the process Barny was great to deal with, in terms of recommending the product and aftercare support.

Barny has great experience and knowledge and is passionate about ensuring that he provides the right product for all his clients including any after sales support. Thanks Barny!

I guess the old saying that you get what you pay for couldn’t have been more evident in my dealings with Barny at Packraft New Zealand. Barny’s commitment, attention to detail and knowledge is evident at all stages of selecting a packraft required for a wide range of adventures. Absolutely stoked with the Kokopelli Nirvana

Great service with Packraft NZ! Before I purchased a new Kokapelli packraft they offered me a demo model to trial before I committed to the spend. Ive had some great customer support following my purchase where Barny checked in to see if I was happy with the product. Faultless!

Amazing products and service. They are extremely knowledgeable about the packrafts. Prompt at addressing issues and/or questions!

These Packrafts are perfect! Ideal for anyone. Whether you are a professional kayaker like my partner, or just like paddling the calm water to get closer to a waterfall, like myself. Compact and light weight let’s us bring them with us whenever we go out adventuring. Just pop it out of your bag, blow up in a minute and off you go.

Bought a Kokopelli Nirvana Self-Bailer off Packraft NZ earlier this year. So far it has performed excellently on up to Grade 4 whitewater trips. The weight difference compared to carrying a kayak is astronomical and the packraft is far more manoeuvrable than I anticipated. Good customer service from Barny, can't comment on delivery times/shipping etc.as went and picked it up as live locally.

Barney is great to deal with. Very honest salesman. He even lent me his personal packraft to try before buying. I'm very impressed with the kokopelli rafts. Even in big west coast white water they can hold their own. I recommend getting the repair kit with glue if you plan on abusing them. The stick on patch started lifting in the cold water but it did the trick. We probably didn't leave it long enough to be fair.

The people behind the brand are super knowledgeable and easy to work with! The packraft itself is fantastic and will quickly become your new favourite piece of adventure kit!

Moved the the southern hemisphere a couple of years ago and the beauty of NZ helped rekindle my passion for the outdoors. Having owed 2 previous packrafts over the years, decided to get back into it here in NZ. Stumbled across Packraft New Zealand over the net and after some quick and friendly reply's from the operators, decided to give them a punt.

My packraft is simply awesome! Way lighter and more durable then the ones I've owned in the past. This has made missions, far more pleasant and manageable. The thing I like the most, is when in the water and going down light rapids, you just feel so secure and even though it's a packraft, you feel like it's as solid as standard industry kayak. The packraft responds pretty well to all paddle strokes and it's easy to maneuver in the water.

It packs away easily and into a very manageable size for transportation and comes in pretty cool looking colors also.

Simply A1 quality, good price, enjoyable to use, awesome water ability and the sales people at Packraft New Zealand couldn't have been nicer to deal with.

Obviously I'll be recommending this product to anyone that wants to hits the river and rapids.

Finally a packraft on the market that delivers what you actually want and need in this type of product.

Packraft New Zealand awesome work

Awesome team and great experience. These guys know what they are on about, and aren't afraid to give you some local knowledge while you are with them! Love it love it love it.
