Tour Highlights
Dive into the waters of 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
Enjoy 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 imposing sheer cliffs, allowing you to discover the best swimming the south of the Mediterranean has to offer. With the chance to explore the many coves of the islands and swim a substantial part of the Gozitan coastline, come and discover one of the most southern points of Europe with us.
The Maltese archipelago features three main inhabited islands; Malta, Gozo and Comino, with Gozo being where we will spend the majority of our trip, though we will swim alongside each of the islands. A quiet but beautiful island, you’ll find a laid back approach to life on Gozo, and 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) which sits in the middle of the island. It features an impressive medieval citadel and the Gozo Cathedral which boasts ornate, baroque painted ceilings.
This trip sees us visiting great swimming spots across the archipelago, taking on the iconic Gozo - Malta swim and getting up close to a number of the island’s notable sites.
Who is this trip for?
This swimming short escape is ideal for those who are looking to combine some early season swimming with a chance to relax and enjoy a charming city after a days swim.

Thank you Amy and Eoin for making it such an enjoyable trip! We had fantastic weather, great company, and unforgettable swims.

My first swimtrek experience, absolutely loved it. Beautiful swims around the coast of Malta and Gozo. Thank you to the guides and boat crew for their superb organisation. Wish it was longer!

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.
Victoria W , Italy - 2022 -
Brilliant guides. Fantastic swims - choppy for the time of year but made it a fun challenge. Malta more on the bling side than previous trip in laid-back Crete.

Malta escape is great short break swimming holiday with stunning coastal swims in clear blue water along coasts of 3 islands of malta. Knowledgeable enthusiastic friendly guides. Very well organised. Lovely hotel. Definitely would highly recommend.

The people in my group were just brilliant - friendly, accommodating, and really supportive. The coaches really made the trip for us - Amy and Katie. Not only did they guide us through the water feeling safe, but gave coaching tips and were just generally so lovely to speak to.

Once again Swimtrek delivered an amazing experience well thought out and planned. The guides anticipated everything we could want and more. It was great to be back and doing the Malta experience.

Malta Escape was a fantastic location to get into sea swimming. Incredible backdrops along rugged coastlines and the most incredible water clarity to enjoy the reefs and sea life while you swim. Sure beats looking at lines on the bottom of the pool!
Paul E, UK - 2019 -
Fantastic island, easy to get too. Luxury hotel. Lovely swims in warm clear water fully recommend this short escape!
Zoe R, UK - 2019 -
SwimTrek is a great way to meet a friendly group of fellow swimmers, enjoy some great swims and see some holiday locations from a viewpoint rarely seen by others. Once you do one you will want to do more.
Matt S, UK - 2019 -
A great few days of coastal swimming and an amazing crossing from Gozo to Malta in the company of fabulous fellow swimmers and the SwimTrek guides.
