Fluid Trails- An Epic Bikerafting Adventure In Kahurangi National Park

Fluid Trails follows three adventurers as they make their way across Kahurangi National Park, New Zealand via mountain bike and packraft. The park is an ancient place of rare birds, rolling alpine tussock, earthquake shattered peaks and towering podocarp forests. A place of colonialism gold fever and endeavour. A place of cascading rivers and winding singletrack.
Hope you enjoy the film, produced by deane.parker.nz and extremekidproductions.com

Great work! I'm impressed at how well you were able to paddle with a bike on the rafts. I'm a reasonably experienced whitewater kayaker and packrafter but I've only had one attempt at a short test trip with my bike on the front of my alpacka wolverine. I found that the bike severely restricted my ability to paddle properly. I actually gave up on the bike, stashed it in the bushes, continued down the river and came back for it later 😅

Rocky rivers are tue worst due tue risk of damaging the bike. But a modern packraft can carry a big load on the bow and as it turns out and awkward one too. Cheers for your comment

Awesome adventure guys, well impressed! How come you didn't hook down the Leslie (walk bikes from gridiron) and raft out karamea that would've been epic too?

Conversely, too epic.

Seriously inspiring video - and fair play to raft with bikes down some of that, pretty gnarly! What were the pack rafts you used? Cheers!

Great bikepack trip love to do it. Not a rafting guy so would stick to the trails instead if possible? Alos wonder if they had a gear list somewhere on a blog or something ?

Just wondering, how did you manage food and water? I'm guessing you drank filtered river water? Did you take all your food with you or catch fish? Or was there a way to arrange for food pickups at those places you stayed? Also, since it's salsa sponsored, what were the bikes? Mukluk?
