This was our 3rd Swim Trek

This was our 3rd Swim Trek. My husband after the 2nd wasn't sure he was up for anymore and ended up loving this one, so we will continue for sure. We had the best guides and I personally feel that makes the trip. They were understanding of our different needs and desires and were responsible and fun!!

Swimming is about people living well

Guides are professional, caring, safety focused and dedicated to ensuring that all swimmers have an enjoyable experience. Making effective use of local knowledge by employing local suppliers of boats, accomodation and restaurants contributes to the local economy and adds to the experience. It is an art to bring together fifteen people with different backgrounds and levels of swimming experience and forge them into a convivial,supportive community for one week. The guides are critical to this as are the local support staff. They convey a sense of dedication to their work - these are people who love what they do and where they live. It creates a warm and supportive environment.

Wonderful swimming experience with SwimTrek

SwimTrek provided an excellent swimming experience in a safe and welcoming environment. They offer great support for different levels of swimming and foster an atmosphere in which all participants take part and help one another.

Jason and Hamish were fantastic guides and guided us to a lovely swimming holiday!! They encouraged us enough to push ourselves in the water a bit and then spoiled us ( in a good way!) with hot drinks and yummy treats when we were done!

Swim holiday in Croatia

We were fortunate to join Swimtrek for a week of ocean swimming on the Dalmatian coast. Every aspect of the trip exceeded our expectations. The team were constantly trying to make sure we were enjoying our time, they were always ensuring it was safe, the boat and skipper were excellent and the hotel we stayed in was perfect. Just a perfect holiday!

Wild, free and safe

What a great experience with Jason and Hamish at the helm! Excellent guides and supporters, there were many 'personal bests' carried home. It was great to be a part of this easy going group. Loved every minute, especially the full days on the Divna . Thank you, I would highly recommend a Swimtrek holiday

Fabulous first SwimTrek experience!

We’ve just finished our first SwimTrek holiday in the Kornati islands. It was simply amazing!
Our guides - Hamish & Jason - were just out of this world. Going above and beyond was the norm for both of them, we were so spoilt, and they were both lovely company too.
SwimTrek have thought of everything…lovely, quiet, secluded swim locations, goggle spray, 10 minute ‘start getting ready to swim’ reminders, delicious and plentiful snacks post every swim (nuts, cranberries, biscuits and fresh fruit with a hot drink of choice!), lovely lunches…honestly the holiday far exceeded my expectations! If you are considering a SwimTrek holiday just go for it!

SwimTrek Kornati Islands

Just cannot fault our first SwimTrek holiday to the Kornati islands, won’t be our last!
We love Croatia and all of the islands were stunning. Location worked perfectly, plenty of really good restaurants to eat out at.
Jason and Hamish were both fab, can appreciate how much work they were doing behind the scenes.
We were in with a great bunch of other swimmers and swimming in set groups worked really well, can’t believe how far we swam.
Also a big fan of SwimTrek’s ethical ambitions.

My 8th trip with Swimtrek

My 8th trip. This was one ofvthe best. The guides, Jason and Hamish were superb. Never had to ask for something to be done they were just there doing it. Kornati area is beutiful and the main boat Divna is lovely but I also enjoyed a jaunt in the motorboat Sea Legand. Local staff great.
