Truly immerse yourself in the best of South Devon. From our start in Exeter, we will transfer you straight to a remote, river-fed lido in the heart of Dartmoor before visiting the iconic river Dart and the mythical Sharrah Pool. We then head for two full days on the South Devon Coast, including a quick swim, over the border in Cornwall. We visit wonderful coves (Hope Cove), Beaches (Bantham and Burgh Island) and hidden gems on our exploration of wild swimming. We believe we have created the perfect balance of exploration and relaxation, immersing guests in some of the most iconic swims in South Devon. The tour orchestrated by our wonderful guides and is fuelled by cake of all different types, Devon cream teas and great company!
Inclusive and for all, our swimming holidays are for all swimmers – the “dippers”, the head up breast-strokers and the 10k warriors, with options for all, every day.
Our guides, the heartbeat of our trips, ensure safety and enough swimming and variety of swims for all levels of swimmer (we suggest swimmers can swim 400m unaided as a minimum).
Invigorating and reviving, we all know swimming is great for the soul and the hidden swimming spots, coves and beaches of Devon’s gorgeous and rugged Coast, coupled with beautiful swims on Dartmoor are a tonic for those who need to recharge the batteries. With two or more swims planned each day your journey through South Devon will be memorable – joining together the most stunning sea and estuary swims and some relaxing short walks along the South West Coast Path. We’re biased (very), but we feel our tours are the perfect balance for mind and body!

Led by our outstanding qualified swimming guides, who put safety at the forefront of everything they do, we know every hidden cove and beach, bend in the river, beach cafe, local pub and restaurant. Most importantly our guides are students of the sea and understand where and when to swim in relation to tides and weather conditions. We also have inland options available, every day, if the sea is too rough!
We take care of everything for you including accommodation, transfers between swims, wonderful picnics on the beach, lunch and dinner bookings with our guides available from first thing in the morning to last thing at night!

Swimmers are wonderful people – fact. Our guests are “the salt of the earth”, fun and supportive, groups become like family and often enjoy each others company so much they come back again – altogether!
