A true testament of this trip is that the day the trip ended, 5 of the 13 of our group had already signed up to go on another excursion. I can't wait for my next SwimTrek experience!

Well looked after!

SwimTrek employ guides who have the ability to make you feel 100% safe at all times and at the same time join in with the camaraderie during the swims. This means you can totally relax in the water and enjoy all the wonders that the sea views give. The Guides have the ability to adapt to unpredictable situations like the weather, and will go above and beyond to ensure you can still swim wherever possible. The variety of swims available in the world is impressive, every location has different anomalies and yet SwimTrek explore the landscapes and culture well in preparation for each location. I’m looking forward to my next SwimTrek holiday.

Turkey jewel!! Just completed the Bozburan short trips…

Just completed the Bozburan short trips holiday. Wow what an experience. It delivered so much more than I expected.
The swims were tough ( I was the slowest in the party of 14, not a place I relished) but I was supported by the leaders and the others in the party all the time which was an incredible feeling. The swims were beautiful, the food on the support boat excellent ( we were like a plague of locusts) the area and hotel fantastic.
If you’re thinking of trying it out, don’t hesitate.

Swim Trek Bozborun trip - absolutely first class

Swim Trek are a fabulous professional company where the customer is at the very front and centre of all they do. Our swimming guides, boat and crew were absolutely first class. There is nothing I feel they could improve on on our trip to Bozborun in Turkey. I cannot recommend them highly enough
