No, we do not charge any extra fees or fuel surcharges. The listed price is the price you pay which includes National Park Fees and all tax.

There are optional activities which are listed in the Blue Mountains Adventure Tour that are paid on the day if you decide to choose any.

We understand that you may not have a printer handy when you’re traveling so it is not necessary to have a printed copy of your voucher. However, we require that you do have proof of your reservation accessible on your phone.

Minimum 1.5-2 Litres (65 oz) of water, snacks, swimmers, towel, hat, camera and a sense of fun and adventure! Closed in shoes for the hike, comfortable clothing.

This depends on empty seats as available space is very limited and we do not tow a trailer, please call Barefoot Downunder to discuss.

All bags that are left in the bus are at the customers discretion and we take no responsibility for break ins and stolen bags.

Wearing a hat is recommended.

Sturdy pair of broken-in trail shoes, boots, or sneakers are required as we are bushwalking and hiking in the Royal National Park.

During the cooler months, dress in layers and wear clothing that will wick away perspiration and keep you dry and comfortable. Summer clothes are fine in the hotter months, bring a swimsuit as the tour includes swimming in the rock pools and at various beaches.

Grade 4 – Steeper, rougher terrain & may have off-track sections (no more than one quarter of the walk) or a longer distance track walk.

There may be short sections of rock scrambling involved.

Safety

Working with the National Parks and Wildlife Services, we set the standards high by providing a fun but also safe tour to the Figure 8 Pools for travellers and visitors.  This is backed by our knowledge and experience in remote wilderness safety, adventure guiding and ocean and beach safety. All tours include an ocean and beach safety chat and guides closely monitor wave conditions when at the pools. As an extra safe measure, our guides also carry a wilderness first aid pack with all the important first aid items plus other safety equipment as one can never be too prepared!

The Figure 8 Pools can be a dangerous place to visit during high tide and big swell conditions as they are located on the rock ledge of the ocean, therefore we take all necessary steps to ensure guests safety and tours only operate during low tide, low swell and safe weather conditions. We actively and closely monitor ocean conditions on a daily basis and if conditions are not predicted safe then a longer hike or alternative activity will be offered on the day, sometimes we may reschedule or cancel the tour. All bookings need to be re-confirmed 24 hours prior to tour.
