The lure of the water just makes me want to keep on swimming.
We really liked Cooper Island Beach Club so much, we’re going back there on our own!
I felt like a kid at summer camp!
SwimTrek is an absolutely must do vacation for anyone who loves to swim! The swims, scenery, organization, and people you'll meet will blow your mind and stay with you forever. I recommend it 100%!
We had an unforgettable experience. We have incredible memories that will last a lifetime. It was a special trip!
Absolutely Amazing!
Fabulous experience and I will definitely be planning my next SwimTrek holiday soon!
An unbelievable experience.
Holiday of a lifetime. The mental relaxation was just what I needed. Everything was planned for us, all I have to do was swim and enjoy the beautiful marine life.
BVI was the perfect location for a swimming holiday. Great mixture of crossings and coastal swims and perfect water and air temperatures!
So pleased I had the opportunity to swim with a wild dolphin
A bucket list trip for sure!
Incredible vacation. Great mix of long swims in the morning and "aquarium" swims in the afternoon
