Tour Highlights
Enjoy an unforgettable swimming holiday in Montenegro and discover hidden coves, tranquil lakes and sheer mountains
Leap into four different types of open water in less than a week: fjords, lakes, rivers, and the sea!
Relax in a beautifully restored former palace with outstanding views over the tranquil fjords
Explore the famous Plava Špilja (Blue Grotto) and swim towards the Albanian border, along the monastery-strewn shores of Lake Skadar
Montenegro is one of the few locations in the world where you can swim in four different types of open water in less than a week. On this warm-water swimming holiday, you’ll have the chance to leap into fjords, lakes, rivers, and the sea. While we explore the spectacular scenery and rich history that Montenegro has to offer.
Discover hidden coves, tranquil lakes, and beautiful coastline as we take in some of Montenegro's finest landscapes from a truly unique perspective. With imposing mountains that soar upwards from the fjords, this is a unique opportunity to stretch out your strokes and drink in a backdrop of natural beauty unique to this historic corner of Europe. From a swim in the famous 'blue cave' of Plava Špilja, to snaking meanders across the Bay of Kotor, as well as island hopping between monasteries in Lake Skadar, this trip is filled with amazing swimming experiences. The memories will stay with you long after your last stroke in the water.
At the end of each day, you will have the chance to relax and unwind in a refurbished former palace in the historical town of Perast. The beautiful Mrshe Palace offers stunning accommodation, with a wide range of room options, open-air terrace, and picture-perfect views over the breathtaking Bay of Kotor.

Reviews
I had a fantastic trip in Montenegro with SwimTrek. Highly recommend for any swimmers looking to explore new locations, get outdoors and have an active and healthy holiday escape. Look forward to the next one!
Montenegro was a fantastic swim adventure. The location was beautiful, the accommodation perfection, the swims wonderful and our guides looked after us perfectly. 10/10 and we will be back for another trip soon.
I was not sure I would manage to do all the swims but the grouping and support from guides made it extremely easy. The lodging in Perast is out of this world and the scenery of the swims beyond that! I would recommend this trip without hesitation.
Before my SwimTrek trip to Montenegro, I was very focused on the swimming, hoping I'd be able to keep up. Once there, the wonderful unexpected bonus was the camaraderie in the group and all the fun we had! I have made new friends and loved the swimming. Can't wait to go again!
My first SwimTrek holiday surpassed my expectations, Montenegro is a beautiful country, the holiday was extremely well organised and the guides were wonderful!
Montenegro Fjords is a super trip, enjoyed every minute, great location, great guides, great group, thank you!
Absolutely fantastic location, excellent swim guides and fabulous hotel providing delicious food. We had a brilliant time and would highly recommend this trip
Fabulous open water experience - beautiful in every location, diverse, active yet laid back and fun. A true winner!
The Montenegro trip should not be missed! Beautiful water in a stunning setting, and the most welcoming and comfortable lodgings with Liliana.
A trip of a lifetime! Perfect location, outstanding accommodation, gorgeous water, couldn't have been better cared for by the swimtrek crew!
