The trip was great! Small group, great guide (Neve was so lovely) and perfect weather. We loved it and recommend it to everyone!

Provided a spray skirt so bottom half doesn't get wet. Room in kayak to stow dry bag. Dry bags are also available for use as well as warmer paddle jackets.

Excellent time. Although it was raining when we arrived and thought we would not enjoy kayaking in the rain, it cleared up and the bonus was that there was no one else there at Split apple Rock. We had individual tour with Emma who was excellent and looked after us very well. First time I had been kayaking, so apprehensive but Emma reassuring, knowledgable and put me at ease. She also took excellent photos of us. many thanks. Can highly recommend.
