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 .

The entire week was a lot of fun and a very enjoyable experience. The freedom of riding across the Croatian islands to take in the magnificent scenery was tremendous. I would thorough recommend a Sail Croatia bike holiday to anyone considering.

One of the most unbelievable experiences you will ever have. The guides, the entire crew.. the food. 5 star at its best

Loved being able to ride the bikes through the Islands of Croatia and see the villages of the various islands. So many old ways are still observed, but over tourism is going to hurt this region in the long term. This is the way tourism should be be done, in small groups. Those big cruise ships are horrible for this beautiful country!!

Andro and Mario were great guides and very informative and entertaining. Mario’s dining and drinking options were spot on. Food was very good. My only suggestions to make the trip better would be to not mix e-bikes and standard bikes - standard bikes kept e-bikes waiting for too long.

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
We weren’t sure quite what to expect when we were making plans around this trip but it ended up being a terrific combination of good company, absolutely spectacular sightseeing, and a great cruise, something we weren’t sure we would have ever done any other way. Our trip leader Miranda was the consummate professional, responding to every one of our needs, and handling some tricky situations with grace, speed and compassion. Sanjay’s love for her country and her work shone through every day in her stories of the islands. In short, my wife and I had a blast, thank you Sail Croatia!
- Peter , 08/09/2025 03:17, Travelled with Friend/s
Wonderful scenery. Excellent staff and crew. While there I had an injury. Guides Anna and Marin where very helpful getting me information about medical care. They arrange transportation to medical facility for me. They went above and be on what could be expected. and seen that I was well cared for the rest of the trip.

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.!!!!!

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 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.

The islands and towns are spectacular but the crew and especially the guides Miranda and Ilona made the trip special.

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.

This was our second time traveling on a Sail Croatia Bike Cruise. We had so much fun the first time we brought back 36 of our friends for a return trip! The staff on the Mali Ante was attentive and made everyone feel special. For many, this was their first cruising experience, and we greatly appreciated all of the ways the captain and crew helped people feel comfortable. During our time on the boat, a heatwave occurred, and the captain ensured we had numerous opportunities to swim and cool off. The food from Chef Ivan was very good and accommodating to some of the passengers' special dietary needs. Our guides, Tonka and Sonja, were amazing. Sonja helped us arrange social and dinner reservations for a large group of 40 people on several different occasions. Tonka was an excellent biking guide. We had some very advanced bikers and others who were not as experienced, and somehow she managed to meet everyone's needs. Best trip ever!
- Melissa, 09/07/2025 15:48, Travelled with Friend/s
My wife and I experienced our first trip to Croatia aboard the Mali Ante on the Split Southern Return voyage along with 30 of our friends. The ship's crew were amazong. Ivan, Mario, Ilea, and Captain Ivica. were all so friendly, attentive, and took great care of us. (If you like a good cocktail, be sure to order the Mario Special.) Chef Ivica and sous chef Antonio prepared delicious food, including traditional Croatian cuisine for the Captain's dinner, hearty lunches for post-cycling recovery, and breakfasts that fueled us up for our rides. Speaking of the rides, I can't say enough good things about our guides, Tonka and Sanja. Every morning they would give us a detailed briefing about the day's journey; the length, difficulty, water stops, road conditions, etc. Tonka's humor put even the inexperienced cyclists at ease, and Sanja was so informative with her stories about the islands and the towns we rode through. We are already planning a return to beautiful Croatia. Puno hvala!

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
- Marian , 09/07/2025 04:30, Travelled with Friend/s
Our time on board the ship and during the cycling cruise was fantastic. The ship's crew was friendly and professional. Our cycling guides, Tonka and Sanja, were excellent, fun, and took us to many wonderful places. They also made numerous recommendations that were very helpful and enjoyable. My only criticism was for communication with the Sail Croatia personnel. It was difficult to find out which boat you were assigned to because that information was buried in a specific email link. I also asked about storage on the bicycles since they had racks and was told there was none. There were panniers provided and I did not need the backpack I had bought based on the misinformation.

We had a wonderful time on the Biking cruise and it was largely due to the efforts of the Crew of the Mali Ante and our guides, Tonka and Sanja. From the moment we set foot on board, the crew took care of our every need, often before we asked. The food prepared by Chef was fantastic, and the service from Ivan and Mario in the saloon was exceptional. Tonka and Sanja worked very well together as a team for the bike riding and the touring with very detailed information about both and always making us laugh and smile. These women are top-notch and I would trust them to take care of guests in every situation. I can't believe how quickly the week passed by and I wasn't ready for the trip to end. I highly recommend a trip with this crew and these guides to anybody considering a trip in beautiful Croatia.

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 .
- Shawna, 07/07/2025 14:31, Travelled with Friend/s
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.

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.

Loved every aspect of this cycling vacation abord the Emanuel boat: a well coordinated, helpful and energetic crew, comfortable and well maintained boat/amenities, delicious meals, a well planned itinerary, and amazing Ebikes! 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!

The tour guides Ivan and Lucija made the trips wonderful and unforgettable. Thank you.. It would have been a 5-stars tour if the breakfast varies daily, the ship is stocked with shampoo and the bed mattress is thicker. The staff on board were wonderful. The tour was well organized and the bikes were fantastic. Beach towels were not provided either.. It would have been very nice if these are provided as well.

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.
