Superb Day
What a day! From the moment we arrived at R&R the customer service was second to none. Zak was super friendly and so helpful (more on that later!) The safety briefing and information was delivered in a very professional but not dull way, which we appreciated! After a few (bad) jokes in the van, we were ready to set off on our guided tour to Split Apple with Pandi, and he was absolutely awesome! Super chilled but with lots of information about the area, both local and further into the park. We chatted the whole way there and back and it was just such a lovely way to spend a few hours. Pandi also needs to take a bow because he's the first person to get me to go swimming in the sea since a holiday many years ago! Fun paddle back with the swell, which Pandi got us through effortlessly. Once we arrived back, Pandi had others to collect so we were left in the capable hands of Zak. Wow is that man a mine of information about the local area, can't thank him enough for his time, recommendations and his stories. So helpful!! The hot showers were also a blessing when living the van life. All in all, highly recommend. It was brilliant!!

Brilliant
Really enjoyed out kayaking tour. My 7 year old daughter's first time kayaking and she loved it. Very friendly staff. Looked after us very well. Thanks Emma for guiding us. We accidentally left our car window open whilst out kayaking. Thanks to the chap that covered it with a towel to stop the seat getting wet! We are very grateful! Good facilities to get changed and showered afterwards which was handy. Highly recommend these guys.

Kayak fun with nice guide
We did the half day tour to the split Apple with guide Marshall. He is very relaxed and instructed us well. And also checks safety matters later on. It was a nice trip, lots of fun!
