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.

Great experience

Was an awesome day out. We were upgraded as we were the only ones for our particular tour. Super lucky we thoroughly enjoyed kayaking along the edge of the national park back to Marahau a real bonus. Guide was excellent very informative and abit of fun. Loved it

Hi Gillian, Thanks for your review and coming out with us. It sounds like you loved the experience with us and got super luck with getting the free upgrade as we always go out of our way to make it work for your guests as we could have just cancelled the like many other operators do. Would love to know how we could have made this a 5 star experience for you, if you wouldn't mind getting in touch and letting us know. Cheers Rohan :)

Excellent trip

Really enjoyed the guided kayak to split apple rock. The weather was great and the coastline beautiful. We saw some Wray fish, star fish, Oyster Catchers and Shags. Enjoyed a picnic on beach and swim in the sea. Explored beach rocks and lagoon. Thank you ti Quinn for a great morning.
