What do you get when you combine hiking, cycling, kayaking, and camping — all in one weekend?
You get packrafting.
This is our full 2-day packrafting documentary through the wild forests, rivers, and villages of Eifel National Park, Germany — organized by https://packrafttravel.nl/. It was beautiful, exhausting, peaceful, and chaotic… sometimes all at once.

🔥 Day 1:
– Hiked 16km through quiet trails
– Inflated and launched our kayaks on a remote river
– Entered the fairytale village of Heimbach
– Ended with a local meal and whiskey under the stars
🌬️ Day 2:
– Learned how to pack bikes onto a raft
– Cycled forest hills and holiday towns
– Braved 6km of open water with wind and sailboats
– Fought exhaustion and laughed through the chaos
– Finished with a fire, new friends, and a bottle of South African wine
🎥 Shot on iPhone 15 Pro (handheld + tripod)
🎒 Organized by: https://packrafttravel.nl/

This wasn’t just a trip — it was a test of patience, balance, legs, and packraft valves. And we’d do it again in a heartbeat.
📸 Equipment
(*Note that I value lightweight, compact and budget friendly options because of the type of travels I normally do)
* iPhone 15 Pro Max - amzn.to/3SKEOPR
I have moved over to the iPhone for most of the ground footage - it actually takes amazing videos and my phone is always close by.
* DJI Mini 4 Pro - amzn.to/3W8MVI5
I absolutely love this drone - it’s small, compact and provides amazing footage.
* GoPro - amzn.to/3W88ok9
I still use the GoPro for the ‘on the go’ shots. It has great stablization, battery life and video quality.
