The Waitaha is named for one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s iconic hard whitewater test-pieces.

Designed for performance in technical whitewater, the Waitaha performs like no other whitewater packraft.  From your local after-work Class 3 run, to back-country multi-day Class 4 journeys, the Waitaha is the best choice.

The Waitaha is a high-performance packraft for technical whitewater.  It paddles like a kayak; it goes where you look, it carves, it boofs, it turns, and it threads lines with ease.

The Waitaha is the packraft for kayakers.
