Every day we realise more and more it’s all about that feeling of boundless freedom. The ability to look up at the starry sky, detached from all constraints of everyday life. The silhouette of the mountains before your eyes. And all around, absolute silence. Zip up your tent, fall asleep in harmony with nature – and let the first rays of sunshine tickle you awake in the morning. It’s this experience, here at Yakima, we wish for everyone to experience time and time again. 

A Yakima SkyRise HD Roof Top Tent turn cars into motorhomes with little effort. It’s all about more freedom, more mobility and that ability to experience nature at it’s best and truly immersing yourself in its beauty.   

At the beginning of the 2021 European Summer, Yakima took their SkyRise HD roof top tents, and partnered with two camp grounds in Europe and created the very first Yakima SkyRise Villages. One in the heart of the Italian Dolomites, Caravan Park Sexten, and one in Germany, not far from the Austrian border in the beautiful Salzach Valley, Camping Seebauer.  

The sites are made up of plateaus standing on stilts housing the Yakima SkyRise HD tents. They accommodate two people each with each unit equipped with electricity (eBike friendly), a spacious private terrace and are idyllically nestled in the landscape. It’s the perfect way to truly take in the magic of the surrounds, kick back and take it easy.

Whilst at the moment we have nothing like this in NZ, we do have freedom which is the envy of the world and a ‘stunning country with 1000s of places to visit and stay.With over 100 Yakima dealers throughout New Zealand, you can also create your own ultimate set up this summer. Just add Yakima roof racks or a platform, for which we have fits for a majority of vehicles, a SkyRise HD tent, a bike, fishing rod or kayak carrier and turn your wheels into the ultimate adventure mobile.
