Compact. Rugged. Adventure-Ready.
The Kokopelli Nirvana Self-Bailing with TiZip is built for adventure paddlers, backpackers, bikepackers, and river explorers who want top-tier performance in whitewater without sacrificing portability.

Frequently Asked Question:
Is the Nirvana Self-Bailing good for beginners?
Yes. It feels stable and predictable while still giving you quick, responsive control as skills improve.
Is it easy to carry around?
Absolutely. It packs into a small, sleeping-bag size for hiking, bikerafting, and travel.
What if I get a small puncture on the river?
Clean and dry the area, then use the included repair kit for a quick field patch; do a permanent fix at home for best results.
Can I bring my dog to ride this packraft?
Many do. Keep nails trimmed and add a protective pad to the floor for comfort and extra abrasion protection.
Do I need the thigh‑straps?
They’re optional, but they add control for technical moves and bracing on pushier Class II–III sections.
