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

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.

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

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

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 !!

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.

Sail Croatia

Sail Croatia team Miranda and Matilda were fantastic guides taking care of every level of cyclers capability and entertaining us with stops along the way to talk about the islands and areas we were touring. The boat and crew were fantastic, boat was like new and crew were so accommodating to guests. The food was absolutely excellent.

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

Tremendous experience

Fantastic. As hosts and cycling guides, Callum and Josko were first class. They were very supportive and ensured each ride was completed with safety in mind. They were knowledgeable about the areas we cycled through and provided snippets of the history that truly added value to the rides. Enjoyment of the rides and our overall holiday was paramount. They truly made a first class partnership that enhanced our experience no end. Although the crew were less engaged in one-to-one engagement within our daily activities they made the cruise experience a very enjoyable one and should also be commended.

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!!

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.

Mr

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

Extremely pleased!!!

Had a thoroughly enjoyable time cycling the spectacular routes along the coast. Our guides and staff were wonderful, the cuisine was really really good, and the hospitality exceptional. Also, the ports we visited gave us a true Croatian experience!

- John, 08/06/2026 01:05, Travelled with Family

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!

Amazing trip

We had an amazing trip. My cabin sheets were unscented which I needed for scent allergies. The cook took great care with food for my allergies. Ivan and Borna were wonderful guides. Showed us their beautiful country and kept us safe and moving on our bikes. Very kind and efficient! Thank you so much.

Awesome cycling/boating trip

The Sail Croatia crew and guides instantly made us feel at home. The whole week was wonderful and constantly filled with great views, amazing food, fun and laughter. Croatia is beautiful! Thanks for an awesome vacation!

The Guy with Jewles /#19

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 and Bike in May 2026

I enjoyed the other people on the tour and the guides (Marin and Martin). I did feel that the boat used was not a proper one for this kind of cruise. Once the bikes were loaded there was little room left. I noted other boats when at dock that were roomier on the stern on the middle. Also, the breakfast buffet was poorly organized. Again, there was a lack of space forcing people into a small table area where only one person could get in and had to come back out into the same line. There should be access in the round and not at one of the eating tables. When parked alongside other boats there was no airflow. This became an issue when the air conditioning was not working. The crew was not very friendly, were smoking near the eating area and on their phones. There were no smokers on the tour so it was somewhat disgusting to have to inhale the crews cigarette smoke. They should go off the boat or to the upper deck if they want to smoke. The food was not of good quality. Needs improvement.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed travelling with your fellow guests and that Marin and Martin helped make your experience a positive one. We will be sure to pass on your kind comments to them. We are sorry to learn that several aspects of the onboard experience did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments regarding the vessel layout, dining area configuration, air conditioning, food quality, and crew service. Guest comfort is extremely important to us, and we understand how these issues could have impacted your enjoyment of the cruise. Regarding your comments about the vessel size and onboard space, I can see that you travelled on one of our Premier ships. While these ships offer a comfortable cruising experience, we also offer a Premier Plus category for guests seeking additional space, larger cabins, and enhanced onboard amenities. Many of the larger vessels you may have seen during your cruise would likely have fallen within this category. Thank you again for your constructive feedback and recommendation. We truly value guest insights as they help us continue to improve our experiences.

Very nice vacation

Our premier plus Sail Croatia cycling vacation from Split to Dubrovnik on the Princess. Diana was outstanding. The crew of the boat and the guides for the tour could not have been better. I would highly recommend this tour to anybody that wants to enjoy a relaxing cycling vacation.

Leaving the beach holiday behind.

Having struggled over the last few years with what works for us as a holiday, my wife and I have bounced between exotic destinations and luxury beach holidays. We’ve found that neither are particularly fulfilling and, although we’ve always enjoyed ourselves, we feel that our experience has been lacking. We thought that we would leave our comfort zone by trying an activity holiday with a group of complete strangers. Having just finished a cruise with Sail Croatia, I can honestly say that, certainly for us, I feel that we’ve found what was missing. A holiday which was centred around our activity level but challenged us to push ourselves further. An experience which allowed us to form friendships with travellers from all over the world. A well led and curated cultural introduction, facilitated by guides (Marin & Olja) who love their country and job, while supporting their guests to bond, experience and enjoy their holiday. We would definitely recommend this holiday, company and guides.

- Ross, 25/05/2026 15:59, Travelled with Family

Unforgettably Great

The Adriatic islands are now my favorite area - they have it all. The cruise/biking experience was icing on a marvelous cake. Lauren, Andro and crew took good care of the 17 of us with humor, insights and kindness. It’s obvious that the company has figured things out so itinerary can be adjusted as necessary. Wi-Fi worked great, a “WhatsApp” site, good food, fine accommodations. I’d note only that e-bikes should be considered essential due to the distances and grades - all but 2 in our group had them and were VERY grateful.

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.

Awesome trip!

A great trip!! Particular shout out to Tonka and Elena for their care and guidance on our e-bike expeditions and other activities throughout the island. The crew was extremely service oriented and the food was excellent. We would definitely book another trip with Sail Croatia.

Waiting until I'm 66 was worth it.

Nice number of guests. Team leaders/tour mangers absolutely terrific, as well all the crew. Food amazing. Accomodation was very comfortable. Such a memorable trip. A great combination of traveling on a midsize boat, max. 32 guests, we had 17 which made the excursion so much more personable with guests and crew. Weather in first of May was decent. 20ish degrees.

- Stanley Androsoff , 11/05/2026 06:02, Travelled with Family

Not sure what you mean bybthis

The crew was just exceptional. Tonja & Elena were simply the very best guides you can have. The food prepared by Marco was better than any restaurant and he is so dedicated. The crew itself could not have done more to make this adventure absolutely perfect. The passengers were so overwhelmed by them we are still in communication with your team. Just the best…

Suprise onboard charges

We were advised after we sailed about extra charges above those we paid for the trip, 50.00 per person port taxes and harbor charges. Why were surprised by these because sail Croatia didn’t tell us. Not very nice. To be paid in cash before final disembarking.

Thank you for your 5-star review - we’re so pleased to hear that you and your group rated your experience so highly. We’re sorry to hear that the local payment came as a surprise. We do make every effort to ensure this cost is clearly communicated to all guests prior to booking. The local payment for Cycle Croatia cruises - currently €50 per person - is outlined in several places, including your online account, payment receipt, FAQs, and pre-departure information. This fee covers port charges and tourist taxes incurred throughout the week and is not a hidden cost. We understand that travel details can sometimes be overlooked, and we appreciate your feedback as it helps us continue improving how we communicate important information to our guests.

Princess Dianna

The ship was lovely and cycle guides did a great job looking after us on the rides. ship staff also did a great job with friendliness and efficiency. The ship itself was impressive lovely cabins and great showers. Only critique cabins could be warmer on the cooler says. Heater controls made no difference.

Best people

The boat was lovely , but the crew and cycling tour guides are what made this trip. THEY WORKED HARD!!!!!!! Lifting the bikes everyday and still smiling. The guides were professional and very well informed about the area and were way better at English than we were at Croatian. The food was high quality, promptly served, and plentiful. I woud do the same all over again tomorrow.

Cycle trip - Dubrovnik to Split

Lucy & Ivan were the perfect hosts for this wonderful trip cycling on the islands between Dubrovnik and Split.

Best trip ever!

Everything made this trip! Starting with signing up with Sail Croatia.. My girl friends sister had done the trip last year. Being boaters and bikers. We made our decision to do it. It was far beyond my expectations! At first I was hesitant to do it as my travels have never included an organized tour. This trip I was proven wrong. The boat was the perfect size, spanking clean and organized, the crew and bike guides were beyond personable, friendly and professional, the food outstanding! By the end of the trip they all were like family. The group, a mixture from different countries, also became like family, many we will keep in touch with after this trip I do not say these words lightly,. I truly amazed myself with this admittance. I say again, I have never been a fan of tours nor large groups of unknown people. I have been on many world adventures but none quite like this one!

Sail and bike from Split to Dubrovnik

The crew, which is responsible for the sailing/transportation of our group from destination to destination, were very good - trying to avoid rough waters, offering good meals (always a breakfast and usually a lunch and the occasional dinner). The cycling component was handled by a lead that planned the routes. Our lead tried to anticipate the abilities of our group, as we had a few non-electric bikers, and I appreciated him factoring the weather, cycling ability, terrain, topography and the ships ability with regards to docking/port authority schedules. By the end of our trip we ended up cycling: distance and total accumulated altitude climb, exceeded most trips of the season.. I believe that accommodations could have been made if our group was either over or under challenged.. Overall cycling Croatia was a great experience for us. We got to see Croatia in a unique way safely guided and well hosted.

Awesome experience cruising/biking the Croatian Islands

We had an incredible time w 13 other couples, sailing and biking from Dubrovnik to Spilt. The crew and our bike guides are what set this apart. So amazing to hear their takes on the history of the region and their love of their country. We had a great set up for the other couples that we were traveling with to enjoy time as a big group and break off into smaller groups.
