Tour Highlights
Travel to a volcanic paradise and discover some of the best tropical swimming Bali has to offer
Swim warm waters and explore a gorgeous jungle coastline, with coral gardens below water and shipwrecks to explore!
Relax in the evenings at the stunning Blue Earth Village with great company, delicious traditional cuisine and panoramic views over Jemeluk Bay and Mount Agung
Discover the wonders of the Tirta Gangga - a Balinese Royal Water Palace
Bali is synonymous with paradise – spoilt for lush rice terraces, dramatic volcanoes, and a bohemian vibe that pervades the island. Sometimes called ‘The Island of the Gods’, this popular tourist destination still retains an undiscovered charm, with its unique Balinese culture, traditions, and strong religious foundations.
The island is a haven for sea adventurers, and, while it is more famous for its surfing, the north-eastern corner of Bali is a surf-free zone, which is excellent for open water swimming. It’s there that we’ll comb the coastline, threading the surface over vibrant coral reefs, populated by rich marine life that shoal and scatter over a seabed of black sand.
This trip is based in the fishing village of Amed, which sits underneath the volcanic peak of Mount Agung - Bali’s highest and most spiritually significant site, revered by the island’s Hindu population. Its high imposing slopes are clearly visible as we swim along the varied coastline over the entire trip. The reefs, with their flourishing populations of marine life, slope right from the shore, so the swimming is always interesting and varied, with plenty to look at!
Who is this trip for?
This trip is for those who want to enjoy some stunning coastal swims along with the chilled-out ambience that the fishing village of Amed has to offer.

Reviews
This was my first SwimTrek and I was a little apprehensive but Eoin and Arnaud, the dynamic duo of the shipwreck coast and our SwimTrek guides, made this trip a truly unforgettable experience. Can’t wait for my next SwimTrek experience. Bewdy!
Swimtrek is a life changing experience. Combing love for swimming and traveling in places I’ve never heard about is a joy in my life. The swimmers you meet become instant friends.
What a fabulous time we had on our Bali Swimtrek! An excellent group of fellow swimmers and guides who made the trip so memorable. Swimming over the shipwreck on the last day was definitely a highlight for us.
After 22 SwimTreks, I am a confirmed SwimTrek-a-holic and I can't wait for the next one!
Stunning swims in a beautiful location, incredible sea life, an absolute privilege to be able to swim here.
This trip was so much more than a holiday. I walk away with a passion to explore more open water and new friendships, all made possible by the loveliest, most genuinely enthusiastic and attentive guides. Just magic!
I had a great time again with SwimTrek, for sure this won’t be my last trip with you :)
Friends that have previously been to Bali were so surprised about seeing the crystal clear waters, colourful fish, corals and beautiful photos and from Amed.
Amed is a hidden paradise!
Recommended swim adventure for anyone who loves swimming in ocean. Some experiences money can't buy.
