Our intrepid adventurers of the South Pacific have returned victorious - alive, fulfilled, and amazed!
Designed and led by TRAK Pilot Zack Kruzins of in May 2026, these two back-to-back kayak expeditions introduced TRAK paddlers from around the world the legendary islands and coral atolls of French Polynesia.
After landing in Papeete, Tahiti, each group assembled their kayaks and packed up for a week of true expedition paddling. Together, they crossed sheltered lagoons, explored tiny islets protected by ranging surf, camped at remote villages whose inhabitants welcomed them with open arms, and ate plenty of delicious traditional cuisine complete with entertainment, stories, and lifelong friendships.
For TRAK paddlers, this is what kayaking is all about: lifelong exploration, learning, and connection in places we simply couldn't reach without a packable sea kayak.
Real travel. Real adventure. Off the beaten path, where no one else can follow.
