Fantastic! I traveled with my sister & friends. We shared both Northern/May 30, Mali Ante, & Southern/June 6, Afrodita on the 2 different yachts. After top notch dining, lodging, & exceptional friendly service on the Mali Ante, our second week on Afrodita yacht/crew was a bit of a let down. The towns, e-bike touring & special time shared with family/friends learning about Croatia was great! Again the crew on Mali Ante were professional, fun, & top notch! It also made a huge difference that Mali Ante crew were respectful of guests with cigarette smoking. It’s not fashionable & or healthy to most people.

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.

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.

First off I want to say that the cycling was fantastic. Having said that, our trip was rated a 2.5/5 which is true but that rating is the average of the intensity of the rides. So some days were 1/5 and some were 4/5. We had an issue in our bathroom that was not resolved until the 4th day. The food was mediocre at best. Very little fruit, everything was cold, croissants that weren't baked through, single ingredient salads, only instant coffee unless you were willing to pay extra, Drinks were expensive, you couldn't get single glasses of wine. Our guide was knowledgeable but he spoke so quickly it was difficult to follow what he was saying. Both he and the other guide were friendly and helpful. I found my bike to be comfortable but there were a number of issues with the bikes in general. Croatia is beautiful and I would recommend exploring it by bike but not with SailCroatia.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you found the cycling fantastic and that you enjoyed exploring Croatia by bike. It's also wonderful to know that you found both guides friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, and that you were comfortable on your bike throughout the trip. Croatia truly is a beautiful destination for cycling, and we're pleased that these aspects of your holiday left a positive impression. We appreciate your comments regarding the route grading. Our ratings are intended to reflect the overall average difficulty of the tour, and as you noted, daily rides can vary depending on the terrain and itinerary, with some days being more challenging than others. Regarding the cabin issue, our understanding was that the concern related to the shower hook in your bathroom. This was addressed during the scheduled cabin service and we apologise for any inconvenience caused in the meantime. We're sorry to hear that the food did not meet your expectations and clearly there is room for improvement based on your feedback. It has already been passed on to the relevant parties for review. Thank you again for travelling with us and for sharing your thoughts.
This trip exceeded expectations in every way! The guides, Yosko and Calum were so knowledgeable and fun! You could tell they really kept the needs of the group at the forefront! The cycling was fabulous- what an incredible way to see the country! Food was excellent and plentiful- I have dietary needs and I felt so well taken care of! I will recommend this trip to everyone I know!

The trip exceeded our expectations. Our tour guides, Josep and Sasha were professional, engaging, friendly and respectful. They were always open to questions and suggestions. The history was very informative and fascinating. The two of them as a team were very cheerful and funny. We loved that they always went above and beyond. The kitchen chef and staff were always working hard to provide us with wonderful food. They took care to give us a large assortment of food that always exceeded our expectations. We are excited to explore possible other trips with Sail Croatia.🇭🇷

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!

Terrific! Everything I had hoped for and more!
- Lynne, 05/06/2026 21:36, Travelled with Family
We can’t thank you enough. From the moment we made contact we have received the best service with communication received every step of the way. We had the best time on the Mali Luka. The crew were fantastic and always so helpful. All the meals were amazing and so much food!!! Our guides Josko and Callum are AMAZING!!!! Their knowledge and experience certainly made the trip even better than we expected!! We could not fault anything and are so pleased that we did the cycle cruise as we got to see so much more of each island and receive so much information from our guides!! We will be recommending this to all our friends as we think this is a must do for anyone who likes a cycle holiday!!!
- Mel and Pete, 05/06/2026 14:16, Travelled with Family
Our guides, Cal and Joska, the captain Ivan and the hardworking crew were fantastic!!! They met all our needs, served delicious food and joined in our fun!! Informative morning briefings were made especially comical with Joska’s use of creative language!! A special thank you to Cal for extra time spent with me at each stop for historical perspective! I’d sail with them anywhere!!
- Karen Assaf, 05/06/2026 13:28, Travelled with Family
Fantastic due to Ivan and Borna first of all. The bike guides! The places we went, the efficiency of the crew getting the bikes ready each day and the food service on time every time. Nice food to get thru an active day.. I would recommend Sail Croatia and especially the bike tour to everyone.
- Jeanine, 03/06/2026 13:29, Travelled with Family
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.

Such a great holiday! Croatia is beautiful, the Croatian people friendly and welcoming. The cycle cruises combine an excellent blend of varied cycling, sailing and sightseeing. The trips are carefully curated to include the most appealing towns and cycle routes. The balance between "group activity" and independent exploration is just right. The guides are friendly and knowledgeable and committed to ensuring a great holiday experience for the whole group. Our boat Emmanuel was everything we could have hoped for with an excellent captain and crew.
- Joanna, 01/06/2026 13:36, Travelled with Family
This was a great holiday for us. Great people great food and a wonderful bike ride every day! Croatia is beautiful. We couldn’t get enough of cycling near the aqua coloured ocean. Guides and boat staff were all great.
- Elaine, 28/05/2026 10:52, Travelled with Family
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.

Just wonderful! Fell in love with Croatia ! Just the absolute best crew, they are all so nice and welcoming. Ivica and sasa (ride wizards) are so caring and patient. You are so safe with them. Very good sense of humor too! They never make you feel bad if you are on the slow side The cook feeds you his great food as if there is no tomorrow. Amazing how the boat and bike tires sustained all the food! Captain got us safely everywhere

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
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.
- Thomas, 25/05/2026 10:16, Travelled with Family
The cycling itself was great! The island cycling routes are challenging (in a good way) with so many epic views. The ship and (some) crew, however, fell short of expectations. The Dionis boat was old and a bad experience from the start, especially compared to the other boats for the same price (which you walk through & see what you are missing out on). I feel ripped off. Even sail Croatia staff commented on Dionis being the worst! A leaking roof in my cabin, leaking shower, significant slant in my room so my head was lower than my feet in bed, uncomfortable common areas compared to other boats. Very basic, not like in the pictures on the website. Some crew members were not very engaging…seemed like they didn’t want to be there. No help offered with carrying luggage across multiple ships on arrival. Had to ask multiple times for things like a room key for example, or to have the chirping smoked detector fixed. The single supplement fee is outrageous. the food is plentiful but just ok.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the cycling routes and the incredible scenery - this is such a key part of the experience, so it’s great to know this aspect delivered. We’re sad to hear that elements of your onboard experience did not meet expectations. Having reviewed feedback from all travellers on your departure, the ship received an average score of 4.58 out of 5, so it’s disappointing to hear that your personal experience fell short of this, and of what you were expecting from your trip. Dionis is part of our Premier ship category, which offers a comfortable and sociable cruising experience, and we’re sorry to hear that aspects such as your cabin and onboard service did not reflect this for you. Your comments regarding maintenance, comfort, and crew engagement have been shared with our operations team so they can be reviewed directly. I can see at the time of enquiry you requested a Single Supplement to ensure you had a private cabin to yourself, rather than sharing with another guest. With regards to the Single Supplement, this is set at 50% of the per person price across the industry, as cabins are designed to accommodate two guests, and the supplement reflects sole occupancy of that space. For guests seeking a more spacious onboard environment, larger cabins, and additional onboard features, we do offer our Premier Plus ship range on our Cycle Croatia cruises, which may be a better fit depending on preferences and of course budget. Thank you again for your feedback, and we’re glad you were still able to enjoy the cycling and the stunning Croatian islands.
I would recomend Sail Croatia as an amazing way to see the beautiful islands. Our cycling guides Marin and Johnny were great, providing support and informative facts throughout the trip, with our safety as a priority. The staff on the Emmanuel looked after us very well, excellent food and very clean cabins. My only disappointment was the uncomfortable mattress.

My sister in law and I had the best experience on our Sail & Cycle Croatia tour. Our holiday began in Split. As we sailed along the coast to various ports, we cycled to cover more ground. I give this company my 5 star rating for the dynamic time we spent on board and in every port. Thanks to our Dionis crew, I highly recommend Sail Croatia for your next adventure. Zivjeli!
- Annabelle Haas, 21/05/2026 13:52, Travelled with Family
I absolutely LOVED this trip the guides were amazing with fun facts on each island we visited and there biking knowledge made me feel at ease at every junction. The boat crew was so kind and everyone worked so hard to make sure our trip was just perfect. Each island was unique in its own way . It was a magical experience !!!!!

Staff on the ship was excellent. But what really made the trip special was Tonja and Eliana. Your lucky to have them as your guides.

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
I had a great time on the sail and cycle. It was my first experience with a trip like this and everything was wonderful. The staff was kind (they even made me hot chocolate while the adults had coffee each morning!) and very detail-oriented. The boat was clean and comfortable, and the food was delicious. Thank you for a great trip!
- Colleen, 06/05/2026 17:13, Travelled with Family
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.
- Michael, 04/05/2026 16:54, Travelled with Family
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.
This was our first visit to Croatia and we loved every minute of it! We had regular bikes and found the rides challenging at times with the 'rolling hills' but so worth it for the views! Beautiful villages, coastline and crystal clear water! The tour guides, Tonka, Matilda and Elena were superb and the crew on board The Emanuel were very attentive and kind, especially Christina! Everything ran so smoothly, and for the first cruise of the season, the weather was fantastic! Made lots of new friends and had a good laugh with like-minded travellers from across the globe! Croatia definitely stole my heart!

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.
- Michael, 04/05/2026 10:49, Travelled with Family
From our cycling guides to the boat's crew to the food everything couldn't have been better. Our daily cycling had enough flexibility for those who wanted to go from point A to point B quickly could do so and those who wanted to stop and take photos could. The rides were broken up with coffee/rest stops such that there was a relaxed rather than hurry-up feeling I'd experienced on other cycling vacations. I wasn't sure how I felt about cycling in the morning rather than part morning, part afternoon with a lunch stop but I actually preferred it to other schedules. Breakfast had a great variety of hot and cold options and I never expected a 3 course lunch each day. The late April water was too cold for me to do more than a quick jump in and out but having the streets and small villages to ourselves was preferable to later in the season and having to avoid crowds. It was a wonderful experience.

Holiday of a lifetime on a cycling cruise on board the ship Princeza Diana doing the Split return South route. Stunning boat. Very large cabins , spotless en suite , cleaned daily. Fantastic cycling guides Ana and Srjan who looked after us and talked about the history of each island. Took in amazing views, great for photo opportunities. The daily swim stops were incredible , highlight of the trip for me. Beautiful crystal clear water. Swam off the boat. Excellent food and top class hospitality from the whole crew. Good value for money. I am booking again for next year to do a hiking cruise. This is a must do trip for anyone wanting to see Croatia !!!

It was a great trip. Food was great, scenery, bikes were comfortable. Weather was fantastic for 6 out of the 7days Confirm your checkout time before you make your travel plans after your cruise. We understood checkout was 10am, therefore booked our bus to Dubrovnik for 1230pm then were told checkout was 8am. Cost us extra money for late rescheduling of our bus times to an earlier time. Our only complaint though
- Sarah, 04/05/2026 06:20, Travelled with Family
Thank you for the 5-star review - we’re so glad you enjoyed the trip, food, scenery, and bikes! Our check-out time (8–9am) is outlined at the top of our FAQs, and it’s possible this may have been confused with our check-in time from 10:30am. We appreciate your feedback and would love to welcome you back onboard in the future!
We loved our time on board the Mali Ante. The crew and tour guides were very nice, helpful and fun to be around. The food was great. The excursions to the different islands were amazing. The islands are so beautiful. We loved everyone of them. The cycling was perfect for all of us - from beginner to advanced - we all handled it well. This is definitely the best of Croatia.

The trip was very well organized. We were updated daily on how the day would go and than also sent all the info on Whatsapp. Everything was above and beyond my expectations even though we had to change plans a few times. Our bike guide Marin was amazing. He is so very knowledgeable and made us feel very safe riding in some dangerous locations. It felt like We all respected him right from the moment we heard him speak. Ilona was the back guide and she is a sweet, caring girl who was always so helpful and supportive. She was always making sure everyone was doing ok and she was great to hang with the group and get to know everyone. This was a trip i won’t forget and i will definitely be recommending to friends.

We had an excellent time on our 7 day Dubrovnik to Split bike tour. J and Anna, our bike guides, were kind, friendly, and helpful. Safety was always a priority on our rides. We had a few spicy weather days and J made accommodations to ensure both fun and safety. The servers on board were always cheerful and ready to please! Overall, our group of 4, had a great time and would recommend this tour.
- Shari, 07/10/2025 12:02, Travelled with Family
This was a wonderful balance of exercise, educational experiences and relaxation. The guides were wonderful with providing an experience that was enjoyed by all and were able to adapt to the changing weather conditions and keep us informed. Our 14 year old enjoyed the trip too. The ride was harder than what we expected, but we enjoyed the challenge of the hills and there was an option to upgrade to the E-bike.
- Kim, 06/10/2025 11:31, Travelled with Family
This is a must do trip,a great way to combine abit of exercise and to explore Croatia. The two guides Marin and Josip were excellent very knowledgeable and nothing was a problem. Everyday they explained the plan for the next day so you always knew what was happening. They also gave recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing at the port stops. So stop thinking about it and book as sometimes life and circumstances can change. Thanks for a great week.
- Christine , 26/09/2025 16:32, Travelled with Family
The entire crew on the Columbo was outstanding. Maren and Josip were great tour guides for the week and offering a lot of history to the p[laces we visited.
- Dave, 24/09/2025 13:48, Travelled with Family
Our guides, Marin and Josip, were outstanding! They provided detailed information about each day's cycling route and the history about each island we visited. They were always available to answer any questions/address any concerns. Both guys were so passionate about their job, and they had such a great sense of humor. In addition, the rest of the crew was fabulous, also. We mainly interacted with Bruno, the bartender, dining room host, and server. He also did an outstanding job taking care of all of us. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for an active vacation!
