Our guides were Josko & Ana, what a team! We had a couple of windy days & one wet day. The communication was quick & kept us updated with options for our bike trips. The banter was fun & their knowledge of history/ old stories kept us intrigued. They were very giving with their time & expertise, & we felt they went above & beyond to make sure we had plenty of information to plan & enjoy our onshore time. The boat crew were great, always available & worked hard to make sure everything ran smoothly. The meals… no one went hungry with our chef! If you’re on the fence about this tour, you will not be disappointed!

I would highly recommend the biking island hopping trip from split to Dubrovnik. The staff were exceptional. From Marin and Natasha to the on board staff George the cook . The captain Ante Andrea and Antony (?) Nothing was a problem. Made our trip very special for our group of 17 .

We were blessed to have a wonderful and friendly crew and 2 guides Ilona and Ivica who kept us safe and informed whilst having great fun on the bikes! A group of like minded people on the boat just added to the experience! What a great opportunity to explore such picturesque places combined with biking, swimming and a little walking and sometimes dancing in the evening (you needed to exercise off the amazing meals prepared by our skilful chef). A fun week which ended a little to soon! Thanks to crew and fellow travellers for an amazing experience!

We had been before, the trip was as good as before but the food was so much better. The boat was better too and we had upstairs cabins that we liked better.

We did the sail and cycle in September and it was great. The crew were great, our guides were hands down amazing, the food on board was terrific. We used hybrid classic bikes and it was hard work on some of the hills, so just be warned if you are considering classic bikes. The terrain was much different than we expected. We felt very accomplished by the end of our adventure.

Our tour guides were Ana and Marin. Our guides were awesome – they knew so much of the history of Croatia and shared it freely. The food on the boat was OK. The breakfast buffet was really good; lunch was hit and miss but mostly good. Some people found the lunches not quite enough food if you are a big eater. Drink prices on the boat were really reasonable. Would ask that you recommend the e-bike option for everyone as there was a lot of waiting for the manual bikes as some of the hills on the islands are no joke. A water bottle holder would be nice on the bikes. Would recommend the cycling jersey be included in the package. It would be great advertising for you. To charge $70 for a cycling jersey after you have spent over $2000 USD seemed excessive. Loved that our captain Martin was very safety conscious even if it meant we didn’t always get a swim stop as the seas were too rough. Our bike guide Marin also was very safety conscious which was great to ensure we completed

Just returned from our fantastic cycle cruise with Sail Croatia with husband. It was glorious and just what I had envisioned: fun cycling with e-bikes through lovely scenery along the coast and on inland roads (only a few intrepid souls conquered the prolonged and steep hills and switchbacks on regular bikes); sunny and warm days; great food and beverages; comfortable accommodations on the boat; swimming in lovely clear or aquamarine water; and warm interactions with our fellow cyclists and amazing staff. I am particularly grateful to Sanja and Miranda for the care they showed us as my husband’s cycling experience was limited. Sanja’s daily storytime about history and culture, and Miranda’s care when my bike had a mechanical problem were truly appreciated. I also loved their attention to detail during our daily briefings. Finally, with Miranda leading and Sanja sweeping, it was liberating to be able to stop to take photos without holding the group up. Truly a fantastic vacation!

Andre and Ilona went above and beyond all expectations for quality of service , dedication and punctuality. Their passion was shared with everyone on the tour. They should be offered extended and improved contracts immediately................or you are not doing your job!

Visiting the small island coves and gorgeous harbors from the comfort of our boat was the experience of a lifetime. We loved the biking and the swimming. Our group became fast friends and we loved our guides. The food was healthy and delicious . Hats off to Miranda and Sanya for leading us to one beautiful place after another and for sharing all of your local knowledge. You were always cheerful and patient. We loved our trip! .

Most wonderful time on this gorgeous boat! The food was so healthy and delicious. The boat staff was so attentive especially Ljbisha! Miranda and Sonia were the best guides - not only on the bike "roads" but about the beautiful country of Croatia. Both very good communicators with a serving attitude. We'd sail with you again! The E-bikes were wonderful too. Thanks for a most memorable vacation. Patty & Matt Edling

We had a fabulous week cycling and sailing with Miranda and Sanja. They were knowledgeable, fun and well organized. The boat Princecza Diana was beautiful, modern and the rooms were bigger than expected. The boat crew were wonderful and the food was fresh and delicious. I 100% recommend Sail Croatia and the cycling cruise as a away to see Croatia.
- Heather , 08/09/2025 16:55, Travelled with Friend/s
Miranda and Sanja were great guides and Violet and Carlo were very attentive to our food and drink needs. I don’t know how everyone was still smiling after a long summer of trips. Sanja told great stories about each island or port every day and Miranda was always encouraging and knowledgeable on the bike rides. It was a super week! We couldn’t recommend this trip more to anyone considering a bike tour of Croatia. Biking on the islands is the way to go. Although we traveled with friends, my sense was that solo travelers or couples walked away with many new friends from their trip.

EXCELLENT GUIDING AND FRIENDLY BOAT CREW ,BEAUTIFUL DESTINATIONS AND WEATHER. Marin, our principal guide was so dedicated to his job and his clients. Every detail of our routes was explained and nothing was omitted. On the rides, he was extra careful with safety and was constantly checking everyone was ok. He was very kind and considerate at all times, Ana our other guide was friendly and competent with a great knowledge of local and Croatian history . A good team. Our Dionis Crew were all so lovely and worked so hard.

Everything was perfect and just as I had hoped. Bike rides, village visits, swim stops, good company and amazing views. I appreciated having the bike bags to carry belongings on the ride. Almost everyone on our trip chose the e-bike and those who didn’t wished they had for at least 1-2 of the days. Long uphill sections that last several kilometers. The only thing I would change is the pillows. They were terrible.
- Heidi, 08/09/2025 08:09, Travelled with Friend/s
We loved our experience biking daily and enjoying the town sight later. The entire crew was great, food was excellent. Andre and Andro were awesome guides and going above and beyond to have a safe biking experience but also to see amazing towns! Would definitely recommend!
- Erin, 07/09/2025 14:26, Travelled in a Couple
We recently had the best week of our 6 week trip from Australia with Sail Croatia. Miranda and llona were so lovely, personable and fun. The tour catered to every level of ability and the e-bikes were excellent quality. I would do this again in a heartbeat- A great way to see beautiful Croatia. Oh and the food George and the lovely crew created and served was something to look forward to each day.
- Kerryn , 06/09/2025 07:30, Travelled in a Couple
Our trip was better than what I had anticipated! We saw amazing vistas, island villages, vineyards, beaches, and the Adriatic sea's unparalleled deep blue. The meals on the ship were a culinary delight filled with fresh vegetables and fruit and top notch desserts. Our cabins were simple but comfortable as expected with fresh linens and towels supplies midweek--I did not expect that! Cabin bathrooms were effective for one person at a time. There were plenty of hooks in the cabin and the bathroom for two passengers to store belongings. The guides were filled with knowledge of each island's historical background, opportunities for swimming, shopping, and site seeing. They gave clear directions and expectations for the daily ride. Safety was emphasized for all. This was my first use of an e-bike, and I was glad to have it for the 10% grade inclines we were challenged with daily. What a trip! What an adventure!

This tour is awesome for those who wish to explore the Croatian Isles. E-Bikes are the way to go due to the hilly terrain and if you want to enjoy the scenery. If you really want a challenge then choose road bikes. Summer months are very hot so choose wisely. The itinerary is very good and the staff are awesome. Thank you to the crew and Miranda and Andro for a great week. Cabins are not cleaned daily, only every third day so plan accordingly as this is not communicated. Food was very good, but very salty. George was awesome and very accommodating to all guests. I would recommend this tour.

The guides & crew on Dionis. Everything from start to finish was well organised & great instructions given before our cycle excursions. The food on the boat was excellent & the chef & waitress were outstanding. Cabins were clean & practical. A wonderful cycling trip that we will highly recommend. Miran & Ana rock!!😍 PS We travelled as a couple with friends also a couple. I would have preferred to know that there were 22single American women traveling together. This large group changed the dynamics of the usual group-there were only 6men on the whole trip.!!!!!
- Margie, 01/09/2025 04:54, Travelled with Friend/s
Great diversity of cycle routes and port stops. Guides were great! Boat crew also great. Meals lovely but would have preferred dinners rather than lunch as I wanted a swim, shower and nap after my cycle rather than having to sit for two hours in a stuffy fining room in the middle of the day. The bed was so hard that I longed for morning to come.
- Mab, 30/08/2025 06:53, Travelled in a Couple
Andre and Sonja were amazing guides and very caring. Both took time to listen and oversea our needs and educate us through the cruise. Kudos to the captain for safety, skills and marine tactics. Very enjoyable trip!

The guides were well informed, handled the large group well, and never left anyone behind. The views we had were spectacular! So glad for e-bikes!! This was a very challenging ride with lots of hills. The staff on board were always kind and happy to meet any needs. The boat was large enough for us to all spread out and was not cramped. The rooms had lots of storage and the bed was comfortable.

We had such a great time on board. The food was amazing, thanks George the girls in the bar clearing up were friendly Johanna and Andrea. Our guides were fun and clear about what was going on. Thanks Miranda and Ilona. We would recommend this to anyone who enjoys riding.. I think website should be clearer that breakfast is a full buffet breakfast! Also that our riding is usually done in the morning with a late lunch.

We went on the cycle & sail. I couldn’t fault it. Such a great balance of activity & leisure. Crew were great, food was excellent & our guides Andrej & Sanja were the best on Dionis. Loved it thank you Sail Croatia would definitely highly recommend this trip. Already friends are asking how to book.

Guides ,Crew and fellow Travellers Miranda and Ilona were professional ,knowledgeable and supportive from start to finish .The Crew were amazing led by Ante a dedicated captain.George and the Waiting staff were so attentive. This is my 8th/9th Trip with Sail Croatia and from.Sales to On board it has always been excellent. This will probably be my last year unless other routes become available...The only negative is how expensive Croatia has become (another reason not to return sadly )

What a great experience! From the moment we set stepped on board to when we got off, it was a very fun tour. I was a little hesitant as I had never riden an E bike, but our wonderful guides helped us navigate and made it a very enjoyable experience! The crew was amazing, our cabins small but nice, lived the upper deck for hanging ingredients out and meeting nee friends. The swim stops were plenty and every day. Our cook George was the best. Our captain was great.
- Julie, 18/08/2025 07:05, Travelled with Friend/s
I loved all the rides...and the electric bikes were wonderful. We had excellent guides: Guide Ana gave us some great history information for of all the places we toured. Guide Andre kept the pace going and prepared us very well for each phase of the bike ride. The food was ok but needs to be updated. The salad lunch buffet was the best meal served. Guest wants light food--not soups when the temperature is hot outside or creme cake desserts at the end of every meal. . Food was tasty but the chef needs to cook for 2025--NOT back in the 1980! Otherwise--excellent trip and I will highly recommend the trip to all my friends. I would go on another but at a different location.

Just returned from a cycling cruise with Sail Croatia and it exceeded every expectation. The experience was seamless, adventurous, and full of heart. Huge shoutout to our incredible guides, Tonka and Sanja — a true dream team. Tonka’s biking expertise and Sanja’s rich regional knowledge elevated every moment. Their chemistry, energy, and care made the journey unforgettable. The onboard crew was just as fantastic — thoughtful, attentive, and always ahead of our needs. They found incredible swim spots and created a welcoming, relaxed vibe from day one. The group dynamic was a joy thanks to Tonka and Sanja’s humor and warmth — we bonded fast and felt like family. And the food? Outstanding. Fresh, flavorful, and crafted with care. This trip struck the perfect balance of challenge, culture, and comfort. I can’t recommend it enough — especially if you’re lucky enough to have Tonka and Sanja as your guides.

We booked a cycle 7 day tour with Sail Croatia and it was fantastic! The crew and tour managers were incredibly nice, accommodating, knowledgeable and professional. The locations we sailed to absolutely beautiful. Seeing the Islands on a bike is definitely the way to go go... they were somewhat challenging, but mostly on smaller roads so not too much road traffic. A few areas were a little more difficult, but they always had a guide at the back of the line to ensure the "slower" riders were taken care of .

We were thrilled with our trip! The crew set a welcoming stage as we boarded. Everything was clean and so welcoming. Our guides Tonka and Sonja were so fun to be around and explore with! Thank you! Thank you! The chef was caring, had amazing food and loved to share his kind spirit. Captain was knowledgeable and approachable. He was quick with a smile and found the best swimming spots! The service and support were impeccable. I would suggest the Mali Ante to anyone who’s looking for fun, exploring, history and a delightful voyage.

This trip aboard the Mali Luka was amazing. We are big time cruisers and usually sail with big ships like Princess. We've done one Viking cruise but this one was so amazing. There were only 28 total passengers and we all got along great; it's like they hand picked people that all had the same outlook and personality. The rides each day were to the most beautiful areas I've ever been to. The e bikes made even the steep uphill climbs easy. We were given options on some of the days to stop or to continue our rides (some even choose to not go on some at all). Our ride crew Miranda and Matilda were so great; always looking out for us and keeping us safe with perfect pacing. Sitting on the top deck while we cruised along was my favorite part. We choose the bottom deck cabin which was super small and tight. No complaints by anyone on any level about noise from other ships. The crew worked very hard (not super friendly but friendly enough). Captains dinner was nice; very nice guy.

My friends and I booked the SailCroatia trip together and we had the best time. We loved the early morning coffee and quiet time above deck each morning to begin our days. Our daily bike rides through quaint little villages were definitely the highlights of the trip. We always had time to look around and enjoy a delicious iced coffee. Our guides took our safety seriously and always made sure we were comfortable and confident while riding. Spending time in the cities where we docked nightly was also a blast. Our guides provided information on local favorites and arranged private tours to wineries and family dinners. These experiences were awesome and allowed us a look into the daily lives of the people we met along the way. I highly recommend the sailing/biking cruises.

I recently returned from a cruise in Croatia. From start to finish, it was the perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and jaw-dropping beauty. Scenery: Absolutely stunning. The Coast is everything you’d imagine—crystal-clear turquoise waters, dramatic cliffs, charming old towns, and lush green islands. Staff: The crew was incredible—friendly, professional, and always going the extra mile to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Food: Delicious! Every meal was a treat, with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and a variety of options. From fresh seafood to Croatian specialties, everything was beautifully prepared. There was always something new to look forward to, and they catered well to dietary needs, too. Activities: One of the highlights for me was e-biking around the different islands. It was such a fun and effortless way to explore off-the-beaten-path villages, vineyards, and scenic coastal roads. All in all, this Croatian cruise exceeded my expectations in every way.

Ivan and Lucy were phenomenal guides. They took us to beautiful out of the way places. They took time to research ahead of time the most authentic Croatian experiences. We got to meet local people and experience their way of life. All while experiencing incredible scenery on off the beaten track roads. They were encouraging and nurturing. Felt very safe and supported on the bike rides. Lucy was very knowledgeable about the history of Croatia and her stories were very educational. Getting back to the boat was always a treat because Andre knew what we wanted to drink, and the meals were delicious. The ports were small and cozy feeling. Swimming off the boat was spectacular, the water was so clear and brilliant. The other passengers were equally delightful and interesting. We couldn't be more pleased.
