Tour Highlights
Enjoy shorter daily swim distances and dive into coastal swims and crossings on this island-hopping adventure
Explore the beautiful uninhabited islands of the Šibenik archipelago at your own pace
Take in the stunning landscapes that exist both above and below the water
Relax and enjoy the laid back atmosphere of the friendly island of Prvic Luka
This introductory swimming holiday in Croatia explores the country's idyllic Dalmatian coastline as we swim between the 40 islands of the Šibenik archipelago. With a combination of island hopping and coastal swims, there is no shortage of spectacular places to discover in this beautiful corner of the world.
Croatia’s Adriatic coastline is dotted with more than 1,000 islands, and we base ourselves for this trip at the junction of the breathtaking Šibenik archipelago. Combining dramatic coastlines with superb water quality and beautiful islands, this really is an ideal location for an island hopping swimming holiday.
During the tour you will visit some of the most isolated islands in the Adriatic Sea including Zlarin which has been inhabited for 700 years and where cars are still banned today. Many of the islands visited on the tour are uninhabited and their natural beauty is untouched.
If you would like to explore this part of the world, but are looking for slightly longer swimming distances, please check out our Dalmatian Coast or Dalmatian Coast Long Swims trips.
Who is this trip for?
This trip is designed for swimmers who are looking for a combination of both island-hopping and coastal swims with shorter daily swim distances. The trip is ideal for swimmers with a little less experience in the open water or who are looking to enjoy some additional time out of the water.
Swimmers should also have a basic understanding of open water swimming and be capable of completing the average swim distance of around 2 km prior to the start of the trip. The average daily swim distance is around 3km (split over a minimum of two swims).
We have given this trip a 'Leisurely' grading for people who want to swim at a more relaxed pace and enjoy the scenery.

If you are thinking about doing a swim trek... DO IT! You are not too slow, too unfit, too old, too young, you will fit in and have the time of your life!!!!

A really memorable trip, I met some great people from all around the world. Kelly and Kresimir were fantastic guides whom I will always have fond memories of. Thankyou for such a wonderful experience of open water swimming, already thinking about another one.

Just back from Croatia Short Swim trip. What a great experience, super guides. A real mix of adventure and relaxation. We had a great insight into the local way of life on a little island that I didn't want to leave behind! Looking forward to the next one!

This trip represents terrific value, I'm already planning new trips for next year. The guides were sensational and Hotel Maestral is the perfect accommodation.
Kay O, Croatia - 2017 -
This trip totally surpassed my expectations. The swimming, the guides, the food and the location were all fantastic and it was great to share the experience with a group of fellow swimmers. I will definitely be back for more!
Sarah W, UK - 2017 -
Superb location, both the hotel and the clarity of the water. The trip exceeded my expectations and has inspired me to do more swimming in and out of the pool.
Jo D, UK - 2017 -
Travelling with SwimTrek was a really fantastic experience. Our guide, Kelly was outstanding in every aspect. I will definitely be back next year.
Katharina S, Germany - 2017 -
I went on SwimTrek as a "good husband". I do swim, but swimming is my wife's sport, not mine. However, now that I'm back from the Croatia Short-swims trip, I'm hooked and can't wait for our next SwimTrek!
