Cycling and sailing through Croatia is absolutely the only way to find the heart of this diverse and poetic country. The area boasts having Europe’s most dramatic shorelines. The stark grey wall of the mainland’s coastal mountains is the backdrop to the beautiful islands you will cycle. We look forward to exploring this country with you.
"From the moment we got on the boat, it was an amazing adventure. There’s no other way to see the beauty of the Dalmatian Islands but biking through the beautiful countryside and sailing from port to port. We went to so many islands in 7 days. You don’t need to be an avid biker to go on this tour. The E-Bike is a life saver with the incredible terrain. Not only was the trip amazing but the food on the boat and food in Croatia was excellent! Our tour guides, Bojan and Antonio were awesome!”

Our bicycle tour in Southern Dalmatia, Croatia — an absolutely stunning part of the world — will take us through charming towns and beautiful islands. We will tour through the towns of Split, Hvar, Stari Grad and Korčula, towns that include two UNESCO World Heritage sites, so named for their impeccable preservation, historic value and stunning beauty. After each ride you’ll be returning to our luxury boat and begin the journey to the next stunning vista, perhaps stopping enroute for a dip in the sparkling clear water.
Day One—Šolta Island, 11 - 19 km (easy)
We suggest you arrive as early as possible in Trogir to give yourself some time to explore this lovely port town on your own. Reminiscent of Venice, you could spend hours exploring — but do make sure you find our boat at the pier before you start to wander! After check-in at noon, our motorized boat will take you on the week’s first cruise from Trogir to the island of Šolta. We’ll start our first day of cycling where you will cycle by walled olive and fig groves and fields of lavender and rosemary as we make our way to our destination for the night.

Day Two—Hvar Island, 28-48 km (easy and at times challenging)
This morning we start from Stari Grad on the island of Hvar, the sunniest island in the Adriatic. Once off the boat we cycle to Jelsa and Vrboska at a casual pace with time to explore these lovely harbour towns. After an ice cream break we cycle back to Stari Grad for lunch on the boat. The afternoon ride will take you from Stari Grad to the town of Hvar — past fields of lavender and orchards of olive and orange trees. We stay overnight in the town of Hvar, which has become a mecca for artists and artisans — and has a thriving nightlife.
Day Three—Vis Island, 33 km (moderate and at times challenging)
The island furthest from the mainland, Vis is venerable. More than 2,300 years ago the Greek colony of Issa flourished here. Due to its strategic location, as part of Yugoslavia and Croatia, Vis was a military zone until 1995 and prohibited for foreign tourists. Today we have the opportunity to explore its gentle beauty. After the ride we sail with lunch towards the island of Korčula, with a possible swimming stop. 
Day Four—Korčula Island, 55 – 60 km (moderate and at times challenging)
Korčula is a balm for the senses, and many consider this calming, generous island and its many cypress gardens to be the most beautiful in Dalmatia. After breakfast you will start today’s bicycle ride en route to Blato, which like Rome, is built on seven hills. Passing Blato, you will make your way over to the other side of the island through Prizba, Brna and Smokvica before ascending up past Pupnat Bay and then down in to the town of Korčula, the birthplace of Marco Polo. Tonight, you’ll enjoy a city tour.

Day Five: Islands of Hvar and Brac (51km; moderate)
This morning we have yet another incredible bike ride planned for you from Sucuraj to Jelsa on the island of Hvar. Most Croatians will argue that Jelsa has the best ice-cream in the world, but not to worry, we will leave enough time for you to find out for yourselves. From there, we head to Bol for our night on the island of Brac.

Day Six—Brač island 23 km (easy and at times moderate)
Today might appear to be a little short ride but not to worry as we still plan on sending you to bed tired. From Bol you literally cycle uphill for 10 kilometres, rest a little at the top before coasting down for another 6 kilometres to the town of Pucisca. One of the island's most famous quarries is located in Pucisca and it is from that quarry where the stone for the white house came from.
From Pucisca we will sail to Split to be there when our lunch on the boat is finished. For those wishing to cool down in the afternoon, we can organize a 3-hour river rafting excursion down the Cetina River—truly an unmissable experience. A shuttle will pick us up in Split and bring us to the Cetina River for an afternoon rafting. Total time for rafting and shuttle from and back to Split will be around 6 hours. For those who are not up for rafting, our guides will take you for a short hike to Marijan hill, the breathing lung of Split. Or you can just enjoy the town of Split on your own.

Day Seven—Split and Trogir
We’ll get in an early morning where you’ll enjoy a guided city tour of Split. You will also have time to explore Marjan Park, considered the lungs of the city, before you have some free to wander the streets of this UNESCO World Heritage site, originally a palace built for the Roman Emperor Gaius Diocletian. As we sail back to Trogir, we will anchor for a couple of hours for those who might wish to swim or relax before we dock late afternoon.
Day Eight—Trogir
You’ll enjoy a last breakfast on the boat before beginning your journey homeward or beyond. We’ve no doubt that Dalmatia will leave an impression on you and we look forward to welcoming you back to explore more of Croatia.
