Galapagos With Effortless Swimming

Any swimming adventure holiday in the waters around the Galapagos Islands is a unique and thrilling experience. We have again partnered with Brenton at Effortless Swimming to combine all the amazing biodiversity the area has to offer with his unique pool coaching and filming expertise in the heart of this swimmers paradise.

Some highlights you can expect to encounter during the May 2024 experience https://effortlessswimming.com/galapagos/?fbclid=IwAR0EIruVku0sQIGDHaFsYIiu_1KLLmgVwToszmR6uhO9s9J9bRA_qn3bzA4 with us and Brenton:

* Long slow (so at times you dont miss a thing!) action packed supported swims with pre and post swim snorkeling up close to the rich and unique marine life: sea turtles, playful sea lions, rays, colorful fish (wrasses and more). The islands offer some of the best snorkeling opportunities in the world.
* Encounter with Hammerhead Sharks: The Galapagos is one of the few places where you can have close encounters with schools of hammerhead sharks and we include - safely - time with these iconic creatures.
* Crystal Clear Waters: The waters around the Galapagos Islands are known for their exceptional clarity, making it an ideal location for underwater photography and videography or watching the nature show you are swimming within.
* Galapagos Penguins: The Galapagos penguins are the only penguins found at the equator. We include swimming - in a respectful manner and distance - with these adorable birds while snorkeling in their natural habitat.
* Galapagos Giant Tortoises: While not encountered underwater, we of course include land excursions where you can see the iconic Galapagos giant tortoises - a true highlight of the trip.
* Remote and Pristine Locations: Many of the swimming routes we use on the Galapagos adventure are hand picked with a priority for remote and uninhabited as we true to match the natural environment by offering a sense of adventure and wilderness to your once in a lifetime swims.

The Gear Loop has rated our RuckRaft 9
/10.

“More than just a tow float, the RuckRaft is the only solution you need for cross-country swimming”

“The raft screams high end and it holds up to the high standards when it comes to testing”

“A massive plus is that there are no zips. Anyone who’s keen on water sports or swimming will know that zips are the enemy. They are the first things to degrade and cause problems”.

“If you’re looking at multi-day trips that involve crossing bodies of water, there isn’t a better product on the market.”

"This is my second trip with Effortless Swimming and it did not disappoint. There was a perfect balance of technical direction and open water swimming. The locations were well planned and the water safety on point. Thank you to the crew for pulling together this fantastic trip."

"Whitsundays swim camp surpassed my expectations. Good company, good vibes, good weather and great learning. Importantly, there has been a noticeable improvement in my stroke in just a week! Thank you to the whole crew!"
