Top Group Trips for Wild Swimming in Beautiful Places

Wild sea swimming? Check. Snorkelling with sea lions? Check. Close encounters with giant tortoises? Check. This five-day Galápagos Islands tour is guaranteed to stun even the most worldly of travellers. The adventure kicks off quickly; first is snorkelling with white-tipped reef sharks in the Itabaca Channel. Next, you’re off sailing to an uninhabited island – accompanied by a professional naturalist – to snorkel with penguins. You’ll then be following in the footsteps of Charles Darwin as your journey ends on the lava trails and beaches of San Cristobal, spotting rare birdlife and strolling alongside endemic iguanas.

Whether you like jungle treks, beach days or underwater activities, our 12-day Bali itinerary has something for you. We’ll pack a picnic with us as we hike to the Banyumala Twin waterfalls, nestled amid dense tropical rainforest, with a large rock pool ideal for cooling off. After exploring Bali’s unique culture and hiking up Mount Batur you’ll get the chance to dip in a spring-fed pool at Tirta Gangga gardens, before we hop on a speedboat to the Gili Islands. Here you’ll have the chance to snorkel with sea turtles and check out the eery underwater statues off Gili Meno, while there’s plenty of spare time at our luxurious beach retreat to swim in the ocean, or in one of the hotel’s two pools.
