The poster boy of Philippine island-hop swims is 10 YEARS OLD.
FOUR BEACH STOPS, THREE CORAL FIELDS, ONE AMAZING SWIM.
5Km swimmers start from Gota Beach, hydrate on two other island beaches, and return to Gota. The 10Km and 15Km swimmers have an extra hydration stop on a fourth beach, in a tucked away cove. We're excited to welcome new swimmers to our favorite swim destination and the 2Km swim category is now on its 4th year.
In 2026, we're going BIG. A 20Km marathon swim with one-is-to-one marshals and swimmers, and one allowed landstop at every 5Km.
Caramoan is the site of the early Survivor TV series and continues to be a destination for multiple franchises of the show.
Accommodations are booked exclusively on the registration site. Gota Village Resort is the location of the start and finish line. Hunongan Cove is a premium resort, an 8 minute boat ride away and located along the swim course. Nearby, only a 5 minute boat ride away are Survivor partner resorts Residencia de Salvacion and Isle de Belle.
This swim is co-presented by:
The Provincial Government of Camarines Sur and Governor LRay Villafuerte
Proudly Supported by:
BYD Alabang

A quick note: The reality of fuel, transportation, shipping, and operating costs that we've all been feeling - will be felt at our event this year. No one gets excited about fee increases but our commitment remains: Caramoan is a world-class openwater swim experience with a level of safety, organization, and care that you have to see to appreciate.
