About Floating Rock Pools
The Floating Rock Pools is a hidden, fairytale-like gem tucked away in the mystical mountain village of Hogsback in the Eastern Cape. If you love off-the-beaten-path nature walks and refreshing wild swimming, this private eco-trail offers a magical, quiet alternative to the busier public waterfall routes. The Hike: A short, beautiful 20-minute trail that loops through dense forest and offers lovely mountain views. The Pools: Refreshing, clear rock pools that are perfect for a crisp mountain dip on a warm day. The Tradition: Visitors are invited to engrave a heart on the local "Floating Rock" to commemorate their journey and receive the blessings of the mountain.
