"Flew in just for the Alcatraz swim. Great pre-swim information and briefing. Good camaraderie and vibes. Left with a fantastic memory. Thanks for fostering adventure!"

Jeremy Butler

"I did the Alcatraz swim on June 29, 2024. It was very well organized and the event was well run. They provided a detailed briefing a couple of days before the swim and showed the recommended path which was reinforced several times before we started. Their knowledge of the currents and waves let us know exactly what to expect once you hit the water. During the swim, I felt safe with a kayak or boat always within a few meters of me. I have done a few open water swims before (mostly in lakes) but the water temp and the currents definitely made this a challenge. It was nice having a group guide you that knew what they were doing. Overall, it was a great experience. Highly Recommend."

"My 14 yr old son had a terrific time swimming Alcatraz! The company was very organized and you could tell very professional and knowledgeable. I never had to worry about his safety because I knew they had thought of everything and were on top of it. What a great life-changing experience.”
