Our holiday was wonderful. our guides, Miranda and Matilda did a spectacular job, herding 30 kittens on bikes. Whether it was the view from the bikes or the view from the boats, that part of the world is beautiful and in some cases, untouched. The meals were made with care and perfect attention to produce from the local area. The cabins were spacious enough for 2 people with luggage and the beds were comfortable... a great way to spend a holiday

Excellent fun

Great weather, great crew, good that they adapted to suit the weather and the group’s abilities. Everyone had e-bikes, which helped keep the group together, as there is only one lead and one tail guide. We were fortunate that there was a fairly small group, though some bikers were quite inexperienced. Saw some fantastic bays and harbours, and good swims (it was HOT despite being early June). Very enjoyable. Very happy that we had air on. Boat was very well equipped. Only comments are that after long rides, 3 course lunch was very late, a packed lunch might be better option. Also, for experienced bikers, a self guided gps option might be preferable. But still, great group, great guides, 5 stars!

Amazing adventure on the Adriatic

Sail Croatia met my expectations and then some. The staff was amazing, courteous, trustworthy, and fun. Our guides, Ivica and Ante., we’re completely professional and kept all of us safe and informed.. I would come back to this again. Thank you, Sail Croatia.

Sail Croatia Cycle review

Holiday was excellent - . Marin and Josip (tour/cycle guides) made it great!

Dalmatian Coast Wonderfulness!

Fabulous, fabulous, delightful, delovely, delicious! Marin and Josip our guides were the best; the crew and Ivan made it feel like home. Every venue and meal quintessential; a planning trip back now as it was the best trip ever.

Unspoiled island beauty

We had a wonderful adventure with Sail Croatia. Our boat was comfortable and clean and the crew went above and beyond to make our time special. Huge callout to Marin and Josip who were our guides. Very personable and knowledgeable. But for me the highlight was getting to immerse in the natural beauty of the islands. Seeing villages and a way of life that has managed to avoid the trappings of westernization is refreshing I highly recommend this boat and bike tour.

Ron Woynarski

Croatia is stunningly beautiful and the islands even more so.. But seeing this with Sail Croatia made it perfect. Miranda and Matilda were helpful, entertaining, informative and overall excellent. The trip would not have been the same without their attention to detail. Each day we were informed of the upcoming ride, and given interesting information about the route and the countryside. Although the entire crew were helpful and accommodating, I also want to give a shout out to Tea and Danny

- Ron, 15/06/2026 15:39, Travelled with Friend/s

Let the truth be told

The actual holiday was wonderful however the downside was overprice wine and beer with small portions and not very good wine Having to pay bar bill in cash was inconvenient and bad

- Dave Holden, 15/06/2026 14:17, Travelled with Friend/s

100% awesome !!

The whole trip was amazing - itinerary, food, ship - all fantastic ! Our guides Miranda and Matilda were extraordinary - we especially liked Matilda’s “story time” chats … outstanding knowledge of the history of the region and gave us great insight. Miranda was an amazing host who help with any questions we had - the pace of the rides were perfect. The rest of the staff… Denny, Tea, Damir were equally awesome —- 100% recommend the Cycle Tour Dubrovnik to Split - totally feel like we had the best Croatian holiday !!

- Dave, 15/06/2026 12:38, Travelled with Friend/s

Absolutely brilliant

What a good time. Sail Croatia did such a great job. Matilda and Miranda were amazing. We hadn’t done anything like this and it will be hard for another trip to meet these expectations.

Rich’s review

Great weather, great set of sailor/bikers plus friendly and capable hosts.

- Rich, 15/06/2026 05:40, Travelled with Friend/s

Cycle cruise is the best way to see Croatia!

I cannot say enough just how much I enjoyed my time on the cycling cruise! It was such a great way to really see a lot of Croatia by e-bike in between the stops on the island towns. Being my first time on a boat for any extended period, I was a bit nervous how I’d like it, but the crew and the guides made it a fantastic experience all around! We were on board the Mali Luka and Captain Ivan and his crew were amazing. He and Ilija always made you feel safe and welcomed. The food by chef Josip was fantastic and you could not have found a kinder server than Mateo if you tried. They were always willing to go above and beyond if you needed anything at all. We lucked up because we had the absolute BEST guides you could ever ask for. Calum and Josko took us around on the bikes and always made sure we had the full itinerary and what to expect each day. They made sure we were always safe while on the islands all while having so much fun. I will plan to ask for both of them the next time I go!!

Great time

Relaxing, fun holiday. Great crew and food. Wonderful stops.

A great Trip with great company

We had an excellent trip from Split North (cycling cruise, it was well organised. The crew were excellent and the Tour managers Tonka and Lucija were outstanding. The biking was easy and manageble by all (exspecially if on a E bike). Plenty of swimming stops in warm and clear water. There were so many highlights, Split, Krka National park, Zadar and many small islands and delightful villages. I recommend this trip.

- Peter, 12/06/2026 02:56, Travelled in a Couple

Lost in Dalmatia

Great 7 days on board Columbo visiting and cycling a beautiful selection of islands including Hvar, Vis, Korčula, Mljet and Sipan. Always felt we were in safe hands with our calm leader Ivaniča and ever smiling guide Olja.

- Adam, 11/06/2026 13:11, Travelled with Friend/s

Beautiful Sailing and Biking in Croatia

We would like to give a big thanks to Sail Croatia and to our 2 guides— Tonka and Lucija who took very good care of us while we were boating and cycling on the Sail Croatia Split Return Northern trip. Their professionalism, mixed with an easygoing, approachable manner, made for a wonderful vacation that had us feeling in good hands cycling through unfamiliar roads. During stops along the routes, we would take in the stunning scenery and be told stories about the Croatian culture and its rich history, which just added to the enjoyment factor. My wife and I have been on a few cycling tours and would rate this as one of the best— thanks to Tonka and Lucija and the crew of the “Mali Ante”.

- Stuart, 09/06/2026 21:55, Travelled in a Couple

Mr

Very enjoyable. Lucija and Tonka were very professional and courteous throughout the trip, I would recommend them for future trips.

Great trip with lifetime memories

Excellent. Exceeded my expectations. Saśa and Josip were awesome hosts and guides. Peter in the boat bar and diner was very friendly. Great team.

- Ken, 08/06/2026 13:43, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing Trip!

This trip was so much fun. I went with a large group of friends which made it even more special, but I got to know most everyone on the boat and everyone was so nice. I originally picked a normal bike, but quickly switched to an e-bike as the routes were a little beyond my abilities. The switch was seamless. The tour guides (Callum and Josko) were absolutely the best. They were so great, I honestly hope we cross paths again someday. The boat crew for Mali Luka was amazing as well, and the food was on another level. EPIC trip!

- Matthew, 07/06/2026 14:20, Travelled with Friend/s

As wonderful as we had hoped!

Our bike and boat tour was fantastic….we will definitely recommend Sail Croatia to friends. We loved the ship, the crew, our cabin (above deck), and the daily itinerary. We booked the trip with a large group of friends and the other guests on the boat were lovely to travel with as well. Great food, coffee, drinks, islands, sight-seeing and cycling! Only 6 of us on the ship chose non-electric bikes, so the hilly terrain was challenging and rewarding for us….but hard-core riders love that anyway! And the e-bikers had a great time too, with options of course on how much pedal-assist they needed/wanted. Our tour guides Calum and Jasko were superb! Fun, knowledgeable, entertaining and flexible. And the entire crew of the Mali Luka was superb. Bravo!

- Paul, 05/06/2026 10:31, Travelled in a Couple

More Than Just a Cycling Tour

An outstanding experience from start to finish. The Mali Luka was comfortable and well run, the crew was friendly and attentive, and our guide, Jay, did an excellent job balancing cycling, local history, and fun. The routes were challenging but rewarding, with spectacular scenery, great food, beautiful islands, and plenty of opportunities to swim, relax, and explore. Highly recommended.

- Jeff, 05/06/2026 06:37, Travelled in a Couple

Great active vacation

This is a great vacation for people who like to get out and see the islands. The E-bikes make it a breeze. We loved it. Our guides Ivan and Borna were amazing. The took great care to keep it safe and keep it fun. You will love the dinners in the island towns you stay in. Soooo fun. Thanks Sail Croatia team!

cyling was awesome, boat could make improvements

Great! loved the cycling and the tour guides. Our days out on the bikes were absolutely great. Both Marin and Martin did everything they could to make the trip enjoyable. My concerns were with things that were in the Captains control: 1. Why was air conditioning not on every night? not on for both first and last night which is poor. 2. bedding was sub par at best, poor quality and could have used an extra pillow. 3. Food was not great. I feel an al a carte menu would have been better as this was eat what you get which really was not appealing to me for a trip with this price. Our daughter was with us, she eats vegetarian and her food was absolutely terrible. Boris, the chef, needs to do better! 4. on board bar was poorly stocked. We would have used this service if items were available but it was basically just one wine and draft beer.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're delighted to hear that you loved the cycling experience and that Marin and Martin helped make your trip so enjoyable. We will be sure to pass on your kind comments to them, as our guides work incredibly hard to create memorable experiences for our guests. We're sorry to hear that certain aspects of the onboard experience did not fully meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments regarding the air conditioning, cabin comfort, food offerings, vegetarian meals, and onboard bar selection. As the vessel relies on shore power while docked for the air conditioning system to operate, occasional interruptions can occur if the shore power connection is temporarily disconnected. We understand that these elements play an important role in the overall guest experience, and we will ensure your feedback is shared with the vessel operator for review and consideration. In particular, we're sorry to hear that the meals, including the vegetarian options provided for your daughter, did not meet your expectations. We recognise the importance of catering to a variety of dietary preferences and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Thank you again for your constructive feedback and recommendation. We truly value guest insights as they help us continue to improve our experiences.

Way beyond my expectations. The boat was very pleasant, but the real difference was our crew. They were attentive, professional, friendly and they were a true team. Our cycling guides truly were the best. Their energy, knowledge and style made for a very special and memorable experience. Already planning a return adventure.

Sail cycle cruise

Great holiday, the staff were excellent and the ship was fantastic. There is room for improvement. More ventilation in the lower cabins, aircon wasn’t effective. The coffee was very bad and there could be more fruit at breakfast and some soap included would be helpful. Also if beach towels are not provided it would be good to know that before we left Australia. Apart from that it was a great part of our trip

Lovely active week led by friendly knowledgeable locals

This was our second time island hopping and cycling with Sail Croatia. We had a wonderful time. The accomodations was super and we were well looked after by the boat crew and our tour guides Sasa and Ivica. Sasa and Ivica were very friendly and personable, We were comprehensively briefed each morning about the upcoming ride and any social arrangements. The rides were a good mix of easy rides with only a few challenging rides. Well done again. We are thinking of booking our third trip.

Sail Croatia Split to Dubrovnik

Everyone in our group of eight had a fantastic holiday. Miranda & Natasha, our guides were so friendly & enthusiastic, always with a smile on their faces. The cycle routes were great too & the electric bikes meant the Croatian hills were easily dealt with. Princess Diana, our ship, was brilliant always kept immaculately clean & tidy by the captain & crew. The food was lovely & varied, always fresh ingredients & there was plenty of it! All in all a great holiday with nothing to fault.

Sail/cycle cruise

Boat crew were efficient. The two guides were knowledgable and helpful. Overall, the ride was fantastic with very good bikes and very amazing scenery.. HOWEVER, we did book and pay for a cabin with double bed. But instead got a single bed on one side and a bunk bed on the other side of the cabin which was dissapointing.

Cayley, Sales Rep at Sail Croatia replied 2026-05-20:

Hi Raymond, thank you for taking the time to review your Cycle cruise with us this season, and for sharing your feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed the cycling experience, scenery, bikes and found both our crew and guides knowledgable and helpful. It is a shame to read of your disappointment regarding the cabin bedding arrangement. We would like to clarify that bedding configurations are not guaranteed unless specifically requested and confirmed prior to departure. Upon reviewing the booking, we can see that a request for a double bed was not submitted by your travel agent at the time of booking, and therefore this was not something our team had been made aware of in advance. We always aim to accommodate guest preferences wherever possible and appreciate your feedback. Thank you again, it was a pleasure to have you join us!

The highlight of our European Holiday

We joined the crew of the Princezza Diana in beautiful Split, Croatia and over the next 7 days, made our way to Dubrovnik. Our amazing hosts and guides, Tonka and Elena, assisted by the ship's Captain and crew, made our journey memorable in a very positive way. We saw spectacular scenery and did some challenging and fun rides each day. Tonka and Elena made sure everyone was safe and that we learned about what we were seeing. The bicycles provided were high-quality and in great condition. Flyer was the brand of the e-bikes we used. We met some wonderful people from all over the world on our trip, It's a vacation experience I suspect we will do again. A word of caution: Unless you're an avid (perhaps even hardcore) cyclist, plan on renting the e-bikes. The hills you will climb are both long and steep - but beautiful!

- Keir & Kim, 18/05/2026 18:18, Travelled in a Couple

Overall a great time!

Great crew, great fellow tourers! The itinerary was excellent. The bikes were garbage. You should not offer a tour where cycling is a feature and then provide bikes that were selected on cost only. Our tour leader spent far too much time trying to keep the bikes operational.

Perfect sail and bike trip of Croatian Islands

This was one of the best travel experiences of our lives. The boat was beautiful, the others travellers were great, the biking and scenery was spectacular and the guides and crew made every effort to make sure everything was excellent. Ivica was an excellent tour guide and made sure that we were all together and had exciting, enjoyable and safe bike rides. Ana made sure that no one was left behind and provided excellent information on the places we visited along with a few myths, legends and ghost stories😀. Ana and Dan (sp) were excellent bartenders and servers and made sure we stayed hydrated and were well fed. The food was excellent and we were served some traditional croatian food that was better than we had in restaurants on shore after our trip. My compliments to the chef!! We would definitely recommend this trip. Once you have tried a small boat experience you will not want to go back to the big cruise lines

- Keith, 18/05/2026 07:46, Travelled in a Couple

Exceptional

What can I say! This trip was beyond expectations! The Crew (Tea and Daniel ,Captain and crew guys) and Bike and Tour Guides (Ivac and Ana) could not be better. Food was exceptional (Thanks Chef and staff) ! They all cared about our experience!! We had a fun group of like travelers who cycled everyday! Weather was superb! Croatia is amazing!! Do this experience!

Exceeded Expectations

We were not 100 percent confident that we would be fit enough or enjoy the experience but we absolutely enjoyed the trip. The tour guides, 2 of them, treated us like family and protected on the roads. The boat, Emanuel, with their captain and crew were a well tuned group. The food on board was excellent! The ebike made the fitness level almost irrelevant, as we watched our 72 year old female group mate keep up with the front guide.

What a great trip!!

Had a great trip…the guide staff were experienced and knowledgeable…always ready to help, lead, inform, suggest alternatives and more. The boat’s crew including the captain, the sailors, the cook and the other staff provided a smooth boating experience and wonderful meals. The bikes were well maintained and easy to use. Convinced us it’ll soon be time to buy an “e” bike at home.” We have no reservations in recommending Sail Croatia!
