Figure 8 Pools South Coast Hike

Our Figure 8 Pools Hike takes you into the Royal National Park just after sunrise where you will experience the natural beauty of the National Park and the Figure 8 Pools in a different light. With jaw dropping mountain views, rolling hills, aqua colour water, native animals and wildlife and even simple morning light, you will be overwhelmed with an abundant supply of epic photos! Cool off after your hike in the pools if you like, grab your Figure 8 Pools insta-photo or explore the beautiful surrounding area before the hike back up and the drive back to Sydney. 

As a proud Eco-Certified Tour operator, our adventure guides clean up rubbish on the hike back and we like to encourage our guests to help in our effort to keep our National Parks Clean.

Beat the crowds for an early start and unforgettable memories!

All Figure 8 Pools Hikes require a medium-high fitness level as the track we take involves hiking down and back up a steep track, slippery and uneven surfaces, rock hopping over two headlands (balance is required), and suited to the generally fit and active person. The hike itself is around 2.5 hours total return time. Suited to ages 12-50 yrs. The climb back up is 215 m or 705 ft elevation and 6 km or 3.75 mi long hike return.  If the Figure 8 Pools are not safe to visit on the day due to ocean conditions then an alternative activity may be offered or the trip will be cancelled.
