Packrafting Tasmania provides training courses that encourage people to master the skills, art and joy of whitewater packrafting. The business is owned by 3 passionate paddlers: Dan Hall, Mark Oates & Jen MacGibbon. Although based in Hobart, Tasmania, we also run interstate courses as well as workshops overseas.

Dan and Mark are two of the most experienced whitewater packrafting instructors in the world and are internationally known for their high level courses as well as their online instructional information. They have both been instructing packraft courses since 2015 and instructing & guiding whitewater paddling for over 30 years. 

We offer courses all the way from beginner to advanced with our speciality being teaching high level technical skills & advanced whitewater river running techniques.

Our philosophy is that the more proficient and skilled you are as a paddler, the greater the safety that you can offer your team and the more of an asset you become.
