Tour Highlights
Enjoy spectacular sea swimming around the only Italian islands in the Adriatic Sea
Explore the entire 4-island archipelago of San Nicola, San Domino, Caraia and Cretacio
Discover breathtaking rock formations, beautiful gorges and fascinating caves
Marvel at the abundance of sea life in this area's crystal clear waters
Complete a range of coastal swims, crossings and circumnavigations over the course of your trip
Swimming around Italy’s Tremiti Islands is the perfect way to experience this beautiful and remote part of the country. Located in the crystal clear waters of the Adriatic Sea, the four islands that make up this tiny archipelago also form part of the larger Gargano National Park.
The waters that surround the four islands of San Domino, San Nicola, Capraia and Cretacio are known not just for their incredible clarity, but also for the spectacular caves, gorges and arches that make this such a stunning area to explore. On this intimate tour where we’ll travel all over the Isole Tremiti archipelago, this trip will see you enjoy a combination of coastal swims, crossings and a full circumnavigation swim of the island of San Nicola and returning back to San Domino each day for lunch. We’ll enjoy our week's swim from several small support boats, giving you the opportunity to experience the region’s stunning natural beauty from a truly unique perspective.
Our accommodation at Hotel La Vela gives you the opportunity to relax and unwind at the end of the day amongst a peaceful pine forest that sits above the quiet Matano Bay below.
