An amazing trip, a group of friends go on a mountain biking pack rafting adventure through stunning landscapes!Anna Paxton
Three adventurers, a film-maker and a photographer set off on a 6 day, 300km unsupported journey. By combining new bike-packing and pack-rafting technology, they link together white-water rivers and backcountry tracks through some of NZ’s underappreciated wilderness areas. To add to the drama, only months before a massive earthquake changes their plans and reveals opportunities to explore new landscapes in ways done never before.
