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 .

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

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.

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
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.!!!!!

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.

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.

Our week with Sail Croatia on the bike cruise was nothing less than wonderful. Our tour guides, Josep and Illona were very knowledgeable and patient. We had a wonderful time getting to know our fellow ship mates and exploring the small Croatian islands. I certainly hope to be back soon.

This was my first time to Croatia and my daughter and I spent our first week on the Sale Croatia boat, the Princesa Diana. This was a pretty remarkable time. They have figured out everything you need for a great cruise. You sail from Island to Island, bike in the morning, swim in the afternoon and make some great friends. If you’re not comfortable biking longer distances, definitely choose the E bike The food and company is terrific. I saw more of Croatia than I ever would have done on my own. I highly recommend this company.
- Kirstin , 11/08/2025 06:34, Travelled with Family
When you combine bikes, beaches, islands, great food and new friends it doesn't get much better than this. The islands we went to and the scenic bike rides were beautiful. Our guides Josef and Ilona were fantastic. Both were very engaging, informative and had a great sense of humour. Josef was conscientious of all riders abilities, he was such a great leader and made our trip very fun in so many ways. The crew on the boat were also great. The chef put out incredible meals every time - everyone was talking about the meals. Overall, an amazing experience.

I went on the Sail Croatia cycle cruise (Dubrovnik to Split) in June/July 2025 with my immediate family. Despite the heat, we had a marvelous time. The biking aspect was well-organized and our guides, Miranda and Matilda, were full of information and stories about our cycling routes and destinations. They were so much fun! The crew (apologies for lack of the correct Croatian letters on my keyboard), Toncii, Halim, Dinko, Zdravko, and our Captain Ivan, made the trip smooth and enjoyable. Each day brought a different view of Croatia. What a memorable way to spend my first visit here! Would love to come back :)
- Elizabeth, 30/07/2025 22:59, Travelled with Family
Superb trip, so well looked after by all the crew and our wonderful guides Miranda and Matilda. When they said e bikes were powerful , too true. No hill however steep was an issue! Worth paying the extra for e-bike as it made cycling in the heat pleasurable. Also worth paying extra for cabin up top. Travelling with my sister in law , we had plenty of space and bathroom was fine. Food was tasty and there was always tea, coffee and water available . Finally , excellent company from a varied group of companions from all over the world. . Thankyou one and all.

The whole trip with Sail Croatia was excellent. All the conditions were good and food was excellent. The best part was all biking together with the two guides. They made us a cohesive group. Didn’t take long for 25 strangers to get to know one another

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 .

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.

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.

We were lucky to have the perfect weather all week for cycling and visiting, and had the friendliest group of travellers on board! Croatia is absolutely beautiful and welcoming. Hoping to return in a near future. Thanks to the Sail Croatia team for making this trip a memorable one!

Our tour directors Miranda and Martin made this a most enjoyable trip. They were patient, informative, and prioritized safety when cycling.

I would highly recommend this trip to anyone that wants to see Croatia in a unique way while simultaneously getting some exercise.

I was on the Afrodita Sail Croatia 2nd-9th June 2025. The trip was fabulous. Brilliantly stunning scenery every day, rides varied but always such fun. Wonderfully led by the excellent Ivan and Lucija they just made the whole experience so much more fun. Some lovely beach stops along the way and even on occasion some free time to ourselves on the bikes to explore. The food on board was plentiful and so tasty, loads of variety for breakfast and three course fine dining lunches each day, Andre the barman was brilliant too. And plenty of free time to explore each day.

The boat was beautifully maintained, the crew friendly and efficient and the quality of food very high. It was very much appreciated that we did not have to move our bikes from the boat onto the quayside.

This was my first time doing a trip of this type, and I’m hooked. I only hope that my future trips will compare to how well Sail Croatia did. From the quality of food while on the boat to its staff to the wonderful tour guides, there was nothing to complain about! This all fostered an environment where you genuinely got to know the others on the trip with you, and became fast friends. It was a sad event when the trip was over and we all had to go out separate ways.

The cruise ship was lovely and is very well maintained by the Captain and crew. We were made to feel very welcome by both the Sail Croatia guides, Dora and Sanja, and all the crew of the ship Emanuel Everyone looked after us incredibly well and the guides were fun, energetic and very helpful. Going with a group of friends was great fun but we all bonded well with the other passengers on the trip and the dynamic was positive and very friendly. It felt like one big , happy family. I would definitely travel with Sail Croatia again. Some of the hills are quite steep for cycling even though the distances are not huge (Split to Dubrovnik). On a normal bike the hills were sometimes challenging in the heat. We travelled in early June and the sun was already hot. The islands are lovely and the views from the top of the hills, once you reach the top are beautiful. It was a great holiday.

This was my first international trip, and the sail/cycle experience exceeded every expectation in every way. I don’t have much to compare it to, but Sail Croatia seems to have perfected their operations in such a way as to give each traveler the best experience possible. First, the Mali Ante was a wonderful vessel…clean and comfortable. From there it just gets better. The crew…seriously I wish I could have brought them all home with me. They were PHENOMENAL. The chef and his staff provided wonderful culinary delights, and were so accommodating with dietary issues. Amazing. The crew managing the galley and bar….OUTSTANDING! I adored them all. The best part…our cycle guides Miranda and Tonka…they were just amazing. I hadn’t been on a bike in over 10 years, and had little experience compared to the others in the group…and they were so helpful and supportive. The rides were challenging for me, but the support was amazing. I have no idea how I will top this experience. 🫶🏼🇭🇷🫶🏼
