The Kaihanu is our journey-ready double packraft, for journeys on lakes and non-technical rivers up to Class 2.
It is not self-bailing so isn’t suitable for more technical rivers, but is the perfect packraft for journeys such as the Hollyford Pyke Loop, or the Waimakariri Gorge.
The Kaihanu has a TiZip for internal storage.
If you’re looking for a double packraft for some whitewater, this is for you.
If we have no Kaihanu available this will also be great for those journeys.
The Taurua also has a TiZip for internal storage.
