Tour Highlights
Cross the Gozo Channel, which separates the three islands of the Maltese archipelago
Swim a 6-km course to the east of Comino as you island hop across the channel
Join open water swimmers from around the world at the heart of the Mediterranean Sea
Discover Malta’s long cultural history reaching back to the Phoenicians
Complete this iconic crossing from Gozo to Malta and enter warm waters that flow between the Three Islands of the Maltese archipelago. During the swim you will pass around the archipelago’s smallest island of Comino, following an iconic 6km course as we island hop through the channel.
Join competitors as swimmers take to the Mediterranean Sea - waters once sailed by the ancient Phoenicians. Swimmers make their first sighting of Comino itself, and pass by the island on their way to the finish point in Malta.
You will also have time to enjoy post-swim relaxation at the Labranda Riviera Hotel & Spa. Situated at the finish in Mellieħa, in a well-preserved area of Northern Malta, your home out of the water enjoys a scenic position overlooking Marfa Bay.
Who Is This Trip For?
The Gozo to Malta Cross-Channel Swim Race spans the Gozo Channel and conditions during the race may be challenging. A good experience of swimming in all sea conditions is essential. You should have relevant open water knowledge to be confident if choppy conditions do arise. Please be aware that this race also involves a mass start, it is possible to take your time and wait for a quieter period to enter the water.
This trip is only available to be booked through SwimTrek as a complete package (including accommodation). If you choose not to join as a swimmer, there is the opportunity to join as a supporter.
