Tour Highlights
Dive into the waters of the Maltese archipelago and explore the perfect turquoise seas, with great underwater visibility
Swim in like-minded groups among the three main inhabited islands: Malta, Gozo and Comino
Take on the iconic crossing from Gozo to Malta!
Soak up the cultural heritage of Victoria with its archaeological Roman ruins, narrow streets and wooden galerias
Relax before and after your swims in the 4-star comfort of the The Duke Boutique Hotel in the capital Victoria
This short swimming escape in Malta boasts perfect turquoise seas, great underwater visibility, and epic backdrops of sheer cliffs, allowing you to discover the best swim spots the Southern Mediterranean has to offer. With chances to explore the many island coves and secrets of the Gozitan coastline, you’ll have total freedom to roam the most southerly reaches of Europe with us.
The Maltese archipelago features three main inhabited islands: Malta, Gozo, and Comino. Gozo is where we will spend the majority of our trip, but we will have plenty of opportunities to swim alongside each of the islands. A quiet but beautiful island, you’ll find a laid-back approach to life on Gozo, which makes it the ideal setting for a SwimTrek trip. Our base for the trip is the Duke Boutique Hotel, where you can relax in comfort in the island’s capital Victoria (aka Rabat) right at the heart of the island. It features an impressive medieval citadel and the Gozo Cathedral, adorned with ornate, baroque decorations and painted ceilings.
This trip sees us visit great swimming spots across the archipelago, taking on the iconic Gozo to Malta swim and getting up close to several of the island’s notable sites.

I am usually an independent traveller rather than a 'group tour' sort of person, but Swim Trek is the only holiday and holiday company I come back to every year.
