Packraft Maine

Custom Trips

Planning a custom trip is really simple.

If you have an idea of how long you want the trip to be (day trip, quick overnight, multi night) and what kind of packrafting you want to do (just paddling, hiking and paddling, biking and paddling, whitewater or flatwater paddling) I will be able to suggest a trip plan.

Once we have a trip plan I will provide information to help you pack and prepare for the trip

Already have a trip idea?

Excellent! I am always happy to work with you and make your trip a reality.
