Kayaking Patagonia's 3 Toughest Rivers For The First Time EVER | with Nouria Newman

Correction: the kayaking trip happened on the Chile side of Patagonia, not Argentina as previously mentioned!!

This is the craziest coolest most extreme adventure video I’ve ever watched, and all I came here expecting to see was some kayaking highlight footage in crazy rapids. These people literally go into the unknown with ridiculous amounts of gear and they hike through brush, climb up cliffs and mountains, and then kayak down the craziest rivers. Meanwhile they are out where no one is there to help them if they get hurt, and literally every aspect of what they are doing is extreme. I’ve never been more impressed in my life. This is so cool to watch

“You’re probably wondering, what is she doing here?” No I wasn’t wondering at all considering you’re in a red bull video and you’re wearing kayaking gear. My first assumption is that you are a pro.

I'm a novice kayaker who can't even complete a roll but I watch these videos because it motivates and inspires me to work hard. I'll never run these rivers, but I am grateful that those who do record and share their experience for people like me. Outstanding!

So on top of kayaking they are doing crazy hikes with survival. Wow

What I think would be so cool @redbull is if every year you did a long xc race where people can go by what ever they want as long as it's human powered,they have to bring their own food and tent, get all your athletes toghter and get sponsored by different aspects of each sport. It might be a bit difficult as some are much faster than others, ie paraglider vs bike downhill but the course is designed to make each class fairly balanced. Plz like so they can see this

I am (almost) never afraid to push the boundaries on my mountain bike or snowboarding. I was always so confused when people said "how can you do that". but after watching this, jeez guys, HOW CAN YOU DO THAT? I way genuinely terrified watching this whole thing. Props to you, holy cow.

I wasn't wondering a thing other than atleast I get to watch someone do something I know I would never attempt. Thanks for risking it all for my entertainment.

her voice , accent and she is soo cute ❤️😌

This is nuts on so many levels. I mean just paddling one of those playful boats 40 - 50 km on flat water is actually a significant feat of endurance - but those rapids? Crazy! This is impressive stuff.

When you hear one of the world’s most competent, courageous, and accomplished modern adventurers say “I’m scared. I’m really scared”, that should tell you how serious this is. A 15:00 video cannot come close to illustrating the hardships and incredible challenges these incredible folks face on almost every scout and portage on a trip like this. Truly astonishing. Many of these giant drops are class VI or damned close — where a mistake or a swim could cost you your life. Not to mention the incredible exposure they face when deep in the backcountry of some of the world’s most remote places — where no rescue would be possible. Nouria is one of the world’s greatest living athletes and explorers. Nothing but admiration for all she does and for all the people she paddles with.

This girl is the definition of strength, power , courage and just plain awesome. She is in so many ways a beautiful person. And a free going person , she loves what she does and it dont matter if you have a little or none at all money . She only needs enough to get her to where she wants to go and for her equipment, and thats it . And for me that is impressive. But they do say success is about money as much as it is about doing what u love to do everyday . I believe that whole heartedly. Please stay safe , keep on doing what u love . Because the day comes when u cannot do this any more or very little , you will loose a big part of yourself and that usually means your life has become non eventful. So good luck

So inspirational!!! I'm glad everyone had fun and remained safe.

You guys are courageous and skillful. Amazing. Thanks for bringing us with you on your scary adventure.

My Grandma always wanted to visit Patagonia (we are Welsh) so I would love to take on this challenge in memory of her ♡ and document my journey. She was my best friend xxxxx

This video is so cool and epic I had the impression to live your trip as you did. Nouria, as awesome and wholesome as usual! Thank you both for sharing this with us and thanks to Red Bull for making it possible!

Anyone else holding their breath every time they go upside down ...

We just love these Red Bull kayaking videos: Keep them coming guys!

man kayaking is so difficult. huge respect to these athletes. i went kayaking in a river once. and the current wasn‘t even that strong but when i wanted to cross the river at the end there was another small river entering the one i was in. so there were two currents in different directions and i got flipped instantly lol. i can‘t even imagine being able to kayak through fast rivers like these athletes do.

A true geo-kayaking star, she goes to cool places all over the world, great talent, a true joy to watch, always great footage
