Highly recommend

Just completed a wonderful swim trek in Bali. Love this company they have an excellent way of choosing the best locations not so near the madding crowd but good advice on how to get there. We stayed at the blue earth village which is a funky eco friendly resort with the friendliest and most helpful staff. Swims were great well guided and always safe. Brilliant seal life to see at times I felt like I was swimming in an aquarium.et a lovely bunch of fellow swimmers highly recommend this company excellent attention to customer service looking forward to my next trip.

Swimtrek for swimming adventures for all

Swimtrek holidays are my favourite so I’ve swum with them since 2008. Exploring little and well known places only accessible by water, meeting like- minded people and leaving Swimtrek to take care of safety is my dream holiday experience. For a small bespoke holiday prices are not cheap but they are good value for money if swimming’s your thing.

Kornati Islands: Great guides! Safety and friendliness first

One of my favourite SwimTreks!

The location is a quaint island... The hotel amidst beautiful pines, with a private beach and paths for exploring.

Our guides Jason and Hamish were very forthcoming, very friendly and professional.
The swims, as always with SwimTrek, excellent.

A big bonus on this trip is the pretty main boat, a sailboat,90 years old ( in excellent shape) and in local family possession.
Surprise bonus: Our boat was escorted by playful dolphins - this happened only once

My husband and I have just completed…

My husband and I have just completed our first SwimTrek holiday in the Kornati Islands. It was absolutely fabulous and exceeded all my expectations. We were lucky to have two incredible guides: Jason and Hamish were personable, good humoured and had every little detail covered which made our holiday so enjoyable.

swimming in the sea cannot be beaten

swimming in the sea cannot be beaten, especially when with SwimTrek guides. The accommodation they arrange, the very high quality of the guides both in terms of their knowledge, safety training and their helpfulness is outstanding. other guests areee likeminded and it is easy to be there as a solo swimmer.

Sustainable travel

SwimTrek makes it a priority to care for our planet by promoting sustainable travel and tourism. I continue to travel with them year after year because not only do they plan an incredible holiday, but they make me feel safe and allow me to experience our oceans while being mindful of conservationism.
