2027 ENTRIES OPEN - WE SOLD OUT IN 2026 DON'T MISS OUT ON 2027

Due to high demand, we’ve added a third exclusive Santo departure for 2027.

Each week is limited to just 18 guests, creating an intimate small-group experience for people who want to explore beyond the ordinary. Swim through warm tropical waters, discover pristine beaches and crystal-clear blue holes and experience Santo with fellow travellers who share a love of adventure and the ocean.

For 2027, we’re also introducing new two and three island experiences, combining Santo with Tanna and the Vila Experience on Efate. Vila will feature entirely new swim courses, giving returning and first-time guests even more of Vanuatu to discover.

With only 54 places across three Santo departures, availability remains extremely limited. Our previous two seasons sold out, and week three has been added in response to demand.

Choose one island or turn your holiday into an unforgettable two or three island Vanuatu adventure.

Longer to Unwind

When you join SwimVanuatu, you’re not just signing up for a swim holiday - you’re giving yourself the gift of time. Our packages range from 6 nights / 7 days through to 13 nights / 14 days, because the longer you stay, the deeper the experience becomes.

A week in Vanuatu gives you time to relax, reset, and enjoy unforgettable swims in crystal-clear lagoons and reefs. Extend to two weeks, and you’ll discover so much more — more tours, more local flavours, more hidden beaches, and more moments that remind you what a true holiday feels like.

With every extra day, we layer in exclusive cultural experiences, guided island adventures, and those small luxuries that turn a trip into a lifetime memory. Whether you want to soak up the sun, explore untouched reefs, or simply slow down and savour island life, Swim Vanuatu gives you the space to do it all.

Because a holiday shouldn’t feel rushed. It should feel like it belongs to you.

Stories From The Water

Dan and Julie are such a supportive couple

Dan and Julie were such a supportive couple for us less experienced swimmers. I just knew I was going to have a good time.

Vicki

A non-swimmers perspective

"As a non-swimmer, I went on the holiday with some trepidation that I would be somewhat excluded by the group of keen swimmers.  It could not have been further from the reality. I was made to feel extremely welcome by Dan and Julie as well as included by everyone in the group during all of their activities. When the group was swimming, I had plenty to do ranging from exploring on my own, relaxing on the beach, kayaking or snorkeling. The holiday was enjoyable, relaxing, and fun. Moreover, I met some really interesting people and had some great conversations with lots of amusing anecdotes. It exceeded my expectations.

Fabulous 6 days in Vanuatu

Some gorgeous swims, fun nice people and a lovely resort with lots of amenities. I liked having a few down days as well as the 3 swim days so I could really chill and enjoy everything this island had to offer. Thanks Dan and Julie for organizing a spectacular winter break!

Katherine

You will not find better hosts

Julie and Dan, they are there to answer every question and sort everything - no problem. From the time you initially start thinking about joining their swim group, till the end of the tour, they are great. Thanks so much

Christina

Wow, what an amazing experience

Dan and Julie had thought of everything, it was so well organized with three amazing swims, and a special extra relaxing swim. So much included from lovely accommodation, all breakfasts, a welcome and farewell dinner (which included a fireshow) and a variety of lunches on swim days, then a number of useful gifts which we used each day.

Swim Vanuatu trip has been glorious!!

Just the perfect combination of swimming and relaxing. Apart from the fact that Vanuatu is beautiful and the ocean crystal clear, the trip organisers went the extra mile to create safe swims and a fun holiday. From the little ferry trips to and from Irikiri Island to lunch with the Mamas, to swimming among the colourful fish it has been a fantastic time. 😃 Thank you Dan and Julie!!

Cathie L
