Trip of A Lifetime

No words can describe how amazing this trip was. Everything was wonderful. The rides were breathtaking. The bikes were top notch. The crew onboard were kind, professional and attended to all our needs. The food was incredible and the attention to detail and presentation did not go unnoticed. Our guides, Matilda and Miranda were incredible. They navigated our cycles with expertise , explaining each ride and keeping safety at the forefront. Matilda had great stories for us on about all the places we visited. Cannot recommend this trip enough.

Great trip!

The cycle cruise was great! The itinerary for each day was very well organized and the crew was excellent! Our “guides”, Josip and Marin were the best… very knowledgeable about our destination and safety minded while cycling. Thanks for a wonderful vacation!

Amazing 5 Star Croatian Guides - Marin & Johnny!

Wonderful, beautiful scenery ! Marin & Johnny were the perfect pair and excellent guides delivering 5/5 stars! Marin's historical knowledge was impressive; he was a mine of information and great local recommendations, he really took care of everyone! Johnny gave us the best restaurant recommendations or tips of where to go. Some of the bike rides took us up very steep hills and windy roads close to the cliff edges and while the views were beautiful I'm scared of heights, but luckily Johnny was there to support and kindly encourage me down, he was lovely! Kerim our bartender was very attentive & our food was good! Our ship was immaculate but it was older so while we had an upper cabin our bed was positioned up against the wall so I had crawl over the bed to get to my side. It wasn't the end of the world but we felt like we were camping :) which is why I am giving this review 4 stars! I'd highly recommend this trip, all the islands we visited were amazing and we loved Croatia!

Simply amazing

We had a wonderful time on the Mali Luka with Josko and Calum. They ensured our safety and took us on some of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. The Mali Luka crew also took such great care of us and the good on the boat was delicious! We all wondered if we were gaining weight vs losing it with our rides the food was so good. All in all it was a perfect experience. I highly recommend this experience for anyone traveling to Croatia as it was simply amazing.

Surpassed our Expectations!!!

The cycle/cruise was the perfect combination of exercise, relaxation and socialization combined with lots of fun and laughter. The Captain and crew of the Mali Luka took great care of us while the Sail Croatia host and cycle guide Callum and Josko went above and beyond to make sure we were safe, looked after and enjoying every moment of the trip!

June 26 bike croatia

Fantastic, loved the island rides especially in quiet places. Amazing coastline and beautiful views. Great guides and staff. Things that need improvement . 1 needed softer mattress 2. A system to log guests on and off securely so no-one can get left behind. 3. Give all info before getting off to start riding to save confusion. 4. Do not rely on apps as not all can use mb phones when traveling & riding. 5. Self serve Tea and coffee should be available free to guests.6. Meals do not need to be so formal or take up so much time. 7. Bikes need bells for safety and small panier bags to carry items securely.

Outstanding cycling in Croatia

We really enjoyed our recent cycling trip with Sail Croatia. We cycled during the mornings which were cooler. And a daily swim in the beautiful Adriatic Sea was a nice, welcome complement to the cycling. We particularly appreciated how attentive our guides, Marin and Natasa, were. They ensured that all cyclists stayed together, were safe on the roads and knew how to operate their ebikes safely. In addition, they provided the group with a fairly detailed description of the day’s ride as well as some history of the area. Marin and Natasa were very welcoming and engaging hosts. We have already recommended this trip to friends!

- Suzanne, 09/06/2026 22:31, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing

Fabulous holiday, great fun aboard the Afrodita, Josip and Sasa our terrific guides kept us well informed of history of the island, safe along our cycle routes and it was obvious to see how much they enjoyed the job. Great team on board Peter and all the crew looked after us all so well. Lovely food from the small galley kitchen. Highly recommend this trip a great way to see Croatia.

An exceptional holiday!

Sail, cycle and swim north from Split on various islands and the mainland. A holiday different from others and a wonderful experience! Fantastic captain Zoran, crew and tour leaders Lucija and Tonka made every effort to make this a great experience. Cabin was fine, excursions lovely, food delicious and plentiful.

Our cycling trip was wonderful. Croatia was amazing. Our tour guides, crew and boat exceeded our expectations. We are already considering booking for next year. Thank you for an amazing adventure. 🇭🇷🩷🇭🇷

Best Cycle Sail week!

Wonderful holiday from the start to the finish! Boat and crew were 10/10! Our guides Sasha and Joseph could not have done a better job at looking after us! Highly recommend!

- Kylie, 08/06/2026 07:39, Travelled in a Couple

It was a nice week

We enjoyed the bike rides, the sceneries were beautiful. The e-bikes worked very well. The group was a bit too large, a bit squeezed on the boat. The meals were excellent but we would have liked at time more buffet or picnic type of meal. We enjoyed a lot swimming from the boat, the Adriatic sea is so beautiful . Our guides, Marin and Martin, were excellent. They cared a lot for the security and were extremely knowledgeable, very pleasant peuple, I recommend them to all the groups.

- Nicole, 05/06/2026 12:11, Travelled in a Couple

Exceptional Guides

Our guides were amazing. Crew brilliant. Costs such as port taxes and park fees were a bit of a surprise. Cabin was on the lower deck and was really damp even with the door left ajar. We were not allowed to open the portholes overnight whilst docked. Double bed was way too high to get in and out of comfortably.

- Anonymous, 03/06/2026 19:14, Travelled in a Couple

Awesome adventures with the guides

It was great overall. Some of the things outside of the biking was that things like port taxes and park fees were not included in the costs. The cabins were also quite damp below deck and our bed you nearly had to take a run and jump to get into it as it was really high. Not great for an older couple.

Amazing trip

This trip was incredible from start to finish. So well organised from start to finish, the boat staff were very friendly and obliging, the guides were a delight, the onboard food was delicious and the upstairs cabin was cosy but comfortable. It helped that the weather was perfect every single day. The e-bikes were a joy to ride - even the uphill parts were a breeze. We rode mostly on public roads so you do have to be a bit careful but there isn’t a lot of traffic. The guides always gave excellent briefings to make sure we were prepared for the day. The scenery, the colour of the water and the towns were so beautiful that it is hard to believe it is real. Handy tip - you will need a lot of cash (though there are ATMs everywhere) plus the drinks onboard are relatively expensive. Apart from that, it was an amazing trip and I was so sorry when it ended.

Great trip!

Had a wonderful time with my husband and our friends who came with us. The unexpected bonus was that we also made so many friends on the boat. Loved everything about the trip. Scenery was spectacular, food was delicious and healthy, biking and swimming was fun, and employees were great.

Great guides

We thoroughly enjoyed our days cycling around the islands. Our guides Marin and Martin were superb! The ship however needs some work. The room was not very clean as well as the ship. The room we were given was right next to the engine which awoke us each morning and also smelt of exhaust.The captain was very nice but his staff seemed uninterested in their jobs and did a lot of sitting around (while the ship needed) cleaning.) The food was not very good.

Magnificent Mali Ante

Hubby and I just completed our second trip with Sail Croatia - the first was in 2018. We're delighted that this second trip was just as good, if not better than the first. The crew of the Mali Ante were outstanding and Tonka and Olha as the bike tour leaders were excellent. - everyone particularly loved Tonka's 'story times'. We highly recommend adventures with Sail Croatia!

Amazing

Had an amazing trip , was great variety with cycling, sailing and amazing towns - we were fed very well with so much food , the guides Miranda and Ana where very knowledgeable and helpful, the ride is not for the light hearted some serious hills so definitely need to be confident on a bike - Croatia flat is definitely not flat 😂 definitely appreciated the electric bikes All the staff where amazing , would highly recommend

Croatia 2026

This was the best trip/experience we have ever had! The boat and cycling was the best way to see the islands of Croatia. The Captain, crew and tour guides, Tonka and Olja were so wonderful in all ways. We felt like family and friends on a magical tour! Our experience with these fantastic people was a heartfelt and exciting memory for us. We hope to return again for another week with this same crew and guides ❤️

premier biking Croatia

We had a lovely time on our Sail Croatia Bike Cruise. I will recommend but with these suggestions. The food on our ship was not great. Edible but poorer quality than I expected. The crew tended to be quite surly and mostly smoked or were on their phones. Our guides were phenomenal and did a fantastic job. They really made the trip. The bikes (we all had e-bikes) were very good quality and easy to use. The scenery was fantastic and luckily we had a large (33 passengers) group but everyone was great and got along well. I would strongly suggest upgrading to premier plus or looking at a higher quality company if good food and a nice ship are important to you.

Further feedback

I filled the quick review onboard but understood there would be a more thorough evaluation of our trip. The biggest concern I had was the food. It was not up to standard. You should hire qualified trained chefs. Thousand island salad dressing was over poured on all salads. White bread for the most part. Not alot of citrus fruit. Overcooked tuna at captains dinner and appetizer unappealing. The captain wore a sweatshirt at the captains dinner. You couldn’t order a glass of wine you needed to buy a bottle. .

The best way to see the Croatian coast

This was a unique and marvellous way to enjoy a lovely part of the Adriatic coast. Our sailing vessel was beautiful and crewed by an exceptional team. The biking/ tour guides were spectacularly well prepared and made this trip wonderful .

Another beautiful boat bike trip around Croatia

We arrived in Split during a deluge but the welcome on board Mali Luka from crew & fellow guests was warm. Cabins are sparsely furnished but clean and functional- not a lot of cupboard space so pack a bag that can be opened and accessed from under bed. Comfy bed & cotton bedding. Clean cosy en-suite bathroom. Meals on board plentiful with drinking water available whilst galley open and fruit bowl. Complementary tea and coffee would have been nice. Bikes and cycling was great. Many using e-bikes which were good in the heat & on steeper climbs. Swim stops scheduled for most days. 3 course lunch on board after cycling was a great time to informally chat with other guests. Our guides Ivica and Sassa were next to none with helpful info about the route, local history and things to see, do and eat after The daily ride. We travelled around many islands and mainland small towns during the week as well as the cycling so this type of holiday is just The perfect way to see & experience Croatia.

Life changing

This bike sail was recommended by my sister who did it two years ago. We are by no means active at home but wanted to challenge ourselves by doing something active and adventurous. I can seriously say this was one of the best experiences I have ever had. The guides Marin and Olja were just exceptional. They looked after the group like we were precious cargo. The bike rides were amazing, exhilarating and great fun. We chose e-bikes as did most of the group and there was a wide range of experience from very little to very experienced cyclists but we had no problems keeping up. We really enjoyed being part of a group. We got on so well and have made many new friends. I have come home renewed with enthusiasm to get more exercise and have now bought an e bike. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. It is not luxury but it is great fun and loads of adventure

A fabulous adventure

We highly recommend this trip. It is superbly well organised, the guides and crew were lovely and the boat was fine. The islands that we rode through were so beautiful and interesting. The bikes were sturdy and reliable and well serviced. I needed a smaller bike because I’m small and that was provided easily. All good. Lots of happy memories. Do it!

Note of appreciation

We would like to express our sincere appreciation for the outstanding work done by the crew of the Emmanuel during our experience aboard the boat. We would especially like to highlight the exceptional work of the two guides. They were always ready to help, highly professional, and at the same time very personable and approachable. Their dedication truly went above and beyond our expectations and made our experience even more memorable. We would also like to recognize the excellent work of our guide, Marine. Hi extraordinary knowledge of the history of his country and his unique way of sharing it with us were truly remarkable. At times, we felt as though we were attending a fascinating history class. His passion was evident in every explanation, and it greatly enriched our journey. Please extend our gratitude to the entire team for making this such a wonderful experience. Kind regards, Valerie LeBel Roger Pelletier

Great trip

I had a great time. Guides were outstanding (Josko and Lauren). I felt safe in their hands. Itinerary: I would have preferred more kilometers The bikes were basic and minimal. I expected better quality, especially the non E-bikes. The boat was fine. I did not need anything fancier. More than adequate The food was good but often overcooked. (The captain was a great pilot, he has no business interfering in the kitchen) Portions too big; buffet style may be better. I appreciated breakfast as I could serve myself and the variety was perfect. The portions at lunch were way too big. I dont like wasting food. The staff were courteous, friendly and helpful. Consider other drinks at the bar (juice, lemonade…)

- Anonymous, 20/05/2026 16:55, Travelled in a Couple

Absolutely fantastic

My husband and I were a little concerned as we hadn't ridden a bike for many years and we are both in our early 60's. We are fit and healthy and adventurous. We were also concerned we may be the eldest in the group and didnt want to hold anyone up on the bike rides. We loved it. The E bikes made it so easy. The guides were fantastic.and just so great at their jobs. We rode everyday and are now going to book another E bike tour. we are hooked. All the other guests were around our age and we all had a ball. The food was excellent. The rooms were great and the beds comfortable each with our own ensuites. The only down side was the alcohol on board was very expensive and you cant take any on board.

- Lisa, 19/05/2026 08:50, Travelled in a Couple

joska and Lauren were fabulous and the crew of Dionis. there were some blips but they sorted it out. the bikes had issues and i would suggest not using that supplier agsin

Croatia’s Best

It was a great experience. The scenery was outstanding - every island had so much to offer. The guides Miran and Johhny were awesome. They kept the group safe and we learned a lot about the history of each island and Croatia in general. They treated everyone like family. The ship, Emanuel, was great- rooms were good, sun deck on the top is nice. We were fed well- breakfast and lunch every day. I enjoyed the authentic Croatian cuisine at lunch. The cooks made outstanding meals.

- Monica, 18/05/2026 10:12, Travelled in a Couple

Great way to stay active and see Croatia

We had a wonderful experience meeting new friends and cycling across the islands. We had e-bikes which made the cycling easier because the hills are big. Our food on the Mali Luka was exceptional. The crew was great! Lots of fun!

Great bicycle/boat tour

Fabulous holiday!! Our 2 guides Tonka and Elena were very professional, experienced, kind and fun. The breakfasts and lunches were very good, and I appreciated the availability of fresh fruit every day. We thoroughly enjoyed the locations of scenic islands that we biked through and mainland Croatia too. It was a great experience. Thank you.

A wonderful adventure that exceeded expectations

The boat, Princeza Diana, was lovely and the crew was outstanding! Our daily lunches were just delicious, way nicer than we anticipated. Our cycling guides, Tonka and Elena, managed to keep 32 riders of varying skill levels safe and entertained. Our daily rides were so much fun on the beautiful Croatian islands!

Sail and Cycle tour

We experienced great service and were completely satisfied with our trip. The captain and crew did an outstanding job navigating us through the outer islands near Split. Our cycling guides Miranda and Lucy were always cheerful and enthusiastic. The e-bikes are very user friendly and can power up the hills with no problem.. Lucy helped us to learn about Croatian culture and history at our rest stops while riding through the beautiful countryside. Extra add ons like wine tasting, olive oil tasting and a meal on a local farm.added to the experience.

Our week on Princeza Diana

The experience exceeded our expectations in every way. The boat was immaculate, our cabin was spacious, the food was top notch and the crew and guides were excellent.

Living in a Postcard

What a wonderful week travelling on the Mali Luka from island to island to cycle in beautiful Croatia. We appreciated the emphasis on safety and fun at the same time. Our guides Ivica and Sasha treated everyone equally and made us all feel very comfortable. The routes are a mix of lengths with varied scenery keeping it interesting. Historical facts were shared about each location. The staff work around the clock making sure that the experience for clients is sensational. Excellent communication with WhatsApp throughout. Book this adventure as soon as you can!

- MaryBeth, 12/05/2026 10:50, Travelled in a Couple

I will be back!!!!

Just about everything!!! This was the most enjoyable vacation I have ever taken because the Sail Croatia staff - tour director Sasa and Ivica (cyling guide) made it all so easy and fun. We had one raiiny cool day and they even made that fun - there was no way I was missing out on the ride. I also loved how they recommended or organized things to do on the various islands after the ride - like learn about stone masonary, going to a local winery for a wine tasting and even a local live play. After I had a little fall (not on the bike) they came to my rescue immediately and made me feel safe. I will always love Croatia and I hope to return next year to try another route --I will ask for Sasa and Ivica and I would follow them anywhere. I already miss them and this amazing holiday and it has only been three days since our tour ended. .

e-bikes and new friends

The e-bikes were great and made the cycling easy to do and not exhausting each day. The small group(32) meant good conversations and blossoming connections. The crew and guides and the place were amazing. The islands were truly beautiful.

Best trip ever!

Just being able to see so much of Croatia in a short period of time! We had fantastic guides and our crew were amazing. Wish we could have stayed longer. Our weather was great, food was awesome, the stories and history of Croatia was a bonus. I would recommend your company to all my friends!! My only suggestion would be if you could sell the wine by the glass as opposed to the bottle! 🍷😁
