Tour Highlights
Dive into the clear turquoise waters of Malta and discover vivid underwater visibility like nowhere else in the world!
Take your time and enjoy some of the best swimming the south of the Mediterranean has to offer - explore the many coves and sheer cliffs along the Gozitan coastline
Seek out the cultural heritage of Victoria with its archaeological Roman ruins, charming narrow streets and wooden galerias
Relax in the post-swim 4-star comfort of the incredible The Duke Boutique Hotel
This short swimming escape in Malta boasts perfect turquoise seas, great underwater visibility and cliffside swims with epic backdrops. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to discover the best swims the Southern Mediterranean has to offer. Seek out the many secluded island coves and secret bays of the Gozitan coastline, finding freedom to roam Europe’s most southerly reaches.
The Maltese archipelago features three main inhabited islands: Malta, Gozo, and Comino. Gozo is where we will spend most of our trip, though we will also 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.

Great trip in Malta, the sea was glorious. Our guides, Ben and Eoin were great fun and really made sure every swim was fantastic. Swims were a delightful mix of still blue and some fun choppy swims. Always felt safe and Haribo support was close by. Thanks again!

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.
