Why choose Wildhartt?

Certified expert guides

Every expedition is led by qualified, passionate guides trained for safety in the wild.

Small groups, authentic adventure

Human-sized groups for a genuine adventure, far from mass tourism.

Wild & preserved nature

We explore the most beautiful wild spaces while respecting ecosystems and local communities.

Crave the hush of old forests, a light hike then a quiet glide downstream as deer call and birds lift? Our packrafting in Europe collection gathers wilderness journeys where walking, water and wildlife meet, all led by guides who know these valleys and rivers inside out.

Start small close to home. In Belgium, spend a September to October day in the Stoumont woods for the red deer rut paired with a river hike and packraft, or try a gentle, year round introduction on the Semois. Cross to Luxembourg for a two day weekend around the Mullerthal, weaving between sandstone cliffs, caves and deep forest.

Ready for a big traverse? Head to Scotland for ten days through the heart of the Highlands, linking lochs, remote glens and bivouacs on foot and by packraft, or push north to Finland for eleven days on Oulanka’s wild rivers with lakes, approachable rapids and nights under the pines. These packrafting in Europe trips keep group sizes small and place safety and wildlife respect first. You get thorough briefings, gear advice and the time to read the water, hone campcraft and watch animals without disturbance.

Real reviews from people who joined our guided expeditions.

Une très belle initiation de packraft dans un endroit incroyable avec un bon moniteur qui est Logan !
Chouette Initiation packraft, très accessible et super convivial!
Je venais pour me vider la tête et la mission est accomplie. L'encadrement de Wildhartt est parfait. Notre guide Thierry était super. La randonnée du Mullhertal est très sympa, assez (trop) simple. Avec des parties insolites. Une chouette ambiance de groupe.
Incroyable journée avec notre guide Pierre.Tout était parfait!
Super organisation : journée rando, packcraft et brame du cerf. On a adoré! Petit groupe, guide au top, super parcours. Merci Wildhartt
Toujours une aussi chouette organisation pour une belle journée de packraft! Merci encore!!
Super journée! Le guide, la balade, le packraft, a refaire bientôt!!! :))
Super expérience avec Wildhartt, une initiation en packcraft dans un lieu peu exploré et donc loin des touristes ! Merci 1000x !
Wildhartt nous a offert une expérience hors du commun, nous permettant de nous évader en packraft pendant plusieurs jours en totale autonomie, au cœur de magnifiques paysages à la frontière franco-belge !Je recommande chaudement Wildhartt, une équipe chaleureuse et ultra efficace 🎉
C'était beaucoup trop chouette! On a eu une chance incroyable avec le temps et Logan était très sympa😇Chouette découverte du packcraft et ça donne la possibilité d'en faire de notre côté maintenant qu'on a compris comment ça fonctionnait donc franchement, rien à dire si ce n'est du positif😁Organisation au top, quel bonheur de ne penser à rien mis à part profiter!Je recommande vivement!
Deux fois que je pars pour une expédition avec Wildhartt et toujours la même satisfaction : un suivi aux petits oignons (briefing et infos claires), un guide passionné, une découverte d'un nouveau sport, une nature splendide. On a même eu droit à des vidéos GoPro souvenirs !Cette fois c'était packraft, je recommande vivement.Milles mercis à l'équipe Wildhartt.
Magnifique expérience guidée par notre guide nature passionné.Immergé en pleine nature, une déconnexion totale.Je recommande vivement, l'équipe Wildhartt est réactive, à l'écoute et vraiment chouette.Merci à vous.

Who is this for?

These adventures are for you if you love to walk and paddle, if wildlife watching excites you and you are after nature escapes across Europe. Beginners will feel at ease on short formats in the Ardennes, on the Semois or in the Mullerthal, while experienced travelers can aim for the longer crossings of the Scottish Highlands or the Oulanka rivers in Finnish Lapland. Photographers, the curious and anyone drawn to forests, canyons, lochs and rivers will feel right at home.
