Fantastic open water experience company - highly recommended

Swimtrek have been a company I have used for years, from basic open water experience through to fun holidays and then serious camps in training for the English Channel you can not go wrong!

The company is focused on customer service so employ quality guides who work hard to look after you on your trip. I have been to Croatia (*2), Milos, Ibiza, Gulf of Oman and Kas with them with many more plans for future trips in expanding locations.

If you have a love for swimming and exploring, you cant go wrong.

Magical!

This is my second Swim Trek holiday and I will certainly be going back for more! The Maldives was even more magical staying on a boat and being able to swim in lots of different locations. The underwater life is amazing and we were lucky to see (and almost swim with) dolphins a few times. The swim guides were professional, the food delicious and the boat crew very accommodating. It was more than just a swimming holiday, we visited a local island as well as a tour of Male, did a couple snorkeling trips and had an amazing BBQ on a sand bank while watching the sunset. If you've always wanted to go to the Maldives, then book this trip!

SwimTrek's week-long swim adventures

Everything about SwimTrek's swim ventures around the world is great. Took a 5th trip to the Galapagos Islands and it was truly an amazing experience.

Thanks for the lovely review, Bruce, and glad to know Trip no.5 did not disappoint, but how could it, it was the Galapagos Islands after all! We hope to see you soon for adventure number 6.

A great experience in a great place

The guides were incredibly helpful, informative and friendly. All controllable aspects of the trip were accounted for, and the uncontrollable ones (like the weather) were skillfully managed to the best of their abilities. It was just a really fun time overall, in a beautiful location, doing something I love doing.

Wonderful experience

Wonderful experience - holiday was really well organised, ran very smoothly and good focus on safety. Totally relaxing to be so well taken care of! Food on the boat each day was excellent. Really enjoyed the company of the other people on the holiday and the guides.

An annual event!

I’ve been on 7 swimtreks- I am already signed up for 3 more. Every guide has been motivational and lovely. This has been an amazing way to travel overseas. The locations are growing every year. Grab a friend ( or 4) and have your trip of the year! ( every year ;) )

Swimming with new friends in warm waters

SwimTrek always seem to find those out of the way locations which are perfect for a swimming holiday It was great to meet a group of likeminded people from a variety of different countries, with different swimming styles & abilities. Yet we all had one goal: to enjoy swimming 5k a day in the Caribbean Sea.

Fantastic SwimTrek in Egypt

Having SwimTrek guides and a support boat to follow in the water made open water swimming safe and enjoyable. This is my 4th Swim Trek and I loved swimming in the Red Sea. We swam with wild dolphins and saw the healthiest reefs. Sharing a week with people that love swimming like I do is a real gift. I met swimmers from 8 different countries on this past trip. Thank you to SwimTrek for an amazing week in Egypt!

Lycian Way - Great swims & Hotel Belind-Meh

The guides were exceptional, the Turkish support boat was solid, and the swims were spectacular.

The Belinda hotel was low-end, 2-star in many ways. Having flown half-way around the world, this was disappointing.

My trip cost $1300 in 2025 and I see it is now advertised by SwimTrek at $1000 in 2026. I feel gouged.
