Can I light a campfire in the park?

There is a fire ban in the park, other than at designated sites. At certain times of the year a total fire ban may apply.

There`s a rhythm to it after the first few strokes - paddle dips, blade catches, kayak glides.

That`s the point a trip stops feeling like a technique and starts feeling like just moving through the water.

A briefing at Marahau, a water taxi into the park, kayaking for the rest of the day, then pitching your tent at the end of the day.

Curious what day one actually looks like? It`s in the video.

There`s a particular kind of quiet that settles in once the tent`s up and the kettle`s on.

What`s your version of switching off?
