Tour Highlights
Discover the breathtaking underwater world of Egypt's world-famous Red Sea
Complete a once-in-a-lifetime selection of coastal and reef swims over the course of your trip
Enjoy the spectacular underwater vistas and be amazed by the sheer quantity of marine life that exists in this corner of the world
Stay on-board a spacious motorised yacht for the duration of your trip, complete with a large deck area to relax between swims
Discover the remote islands, colourful reefs and abundant marine life of Egypt’s breathtaking Red Sea on this spectacular liveaboard swimming holiday. Based onboard a liveaboard motor yacht, this trip gives you the chance to explore some of the Red Sea’s most remote and isolated destinations from a truly unique perspective.
The Egyptian Red Sea is a world-renowned open water destination which is located just a short flight from Europe’s main international airports. Offering outstanding water clarity, year-round sunshine and an incredible variety of marine life, it is the perfect location to discover the magic that lives beneath the water’s surface.
The Red Sea is defined by the sheer volume of colourful coral and marine life which exists around the islands and reefs that make up this corner of the world. Divers and snorkelers from across the globe have long travelled to this region to take in more than 200 types of hard and soft coral and a stunning range of fish species, sponges and crustaceans. Combining this marine life with the underwater vistas, which include caves, drop-offs and the possibility of swimming over one of the Red Sea’s countless shipwrecks, makes this a unique and unforgettable swimming destination.
On top of the organised swims which are included in the trip itinerary, there is also plenty of time to take part in additional activities, such as snorkelling and scuba diving, over the course of the trip.
Who is this trip for?
This trip is designed for swimmers who enjoy exploring islands, reefs and marine life and are looking for a little spring or winter sunshine.

Red Sea Liveaboard was as close to perfect as it gets: great boat, great guides, ideal location for swimming and appreciating the beauty of the coral reefs.

Mind blowing experience in crystal clears seas bursting with life, led by an expert guide and exceptional crew. A must do trip!
Niki V, UK - 2022 -
Easily one of the best holiday experiences I've had - by day six after swimming a little over 4km per day in perfect conditions, I felt amazing! Thanks so much for a wonderful trip.
Alex D, UK - 2019 -
The week swimming on the Red Sea with a wonderful group is a lifetime highlight.
Charles H, New Zealand - 2019 -
You'll see more fish in the sea than stars in the sky!
Alexis G, Canada - 2019 -
Wow. Just wow. I have toured, cycled, trekked, dived, surfed, kitesurfed and swum all over the world for many years and I can tell you that I have never felt so safe or enjoyed myself so much as when I was under the care of your amazing guides, Susan and Kelly. Not only were they a joy to be with, but the level and combination of professionalism, knowledge and warmth that they both displayed constantly throughout the trip were something I've never come across in such abundance. As individuals, they are simply exceptional and a gift to your organisation, but everyone in our group agreed that together, they are greater than the sum of their parts. My only concern is that the bar has been set too high for any future adventures and I know that I speak for all 16 members of our group when I say that we already miss Susan and Kelly very much and would dearly love to see them on the Swim Trek trips that we'll inevitably end up booking soon.
