You need to book this trip!

Our guides were Josko & Ana, what a team! We had a couple of windy days & one wet day. The communication was quick & kept us updated with options for our bike trips. The banter was fun & their knowledge of history/ old stories kept us intrigued. They were very giving with their time & expertise, & we felt they went above & beyond to make sure we had plenty of information to plan & enjoy our onshore time. The boat crew were great, always available & worked hard to make sure everything ran smoothly. The meals… no one went hungry with our chef! If you’re on the fence about this tour, you will not be disappointed!

Highly recommend Biking Split to Dubrovnik island hopping

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 .

Not many things in life I would press repeat on....but this is one !!

We were blessed to have a wonderful and friendly crew and 2 guides Ilona and Ivica who kept us safe and informed whilst having great fun on the bikes! A group of like minded people on the boat just added to the experience! What a great opportunity to explore such picturesque places combined with biking, swimming and a little walking and sometimes dancing in the evening (you needed to exercise off the amazing meals prepared by our skilful chef). A fun week which ended a little to soon! Thanks to crew and fellow travellers for an amazing experience!

brilliant trip

We had been before, the trip was as good as before but the food was so much better. The boat was better too and we had upstairs cabins that we liked better.

A Fantastic Experience

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.

Amazing trip

We did the sail and cycle in September and it was great. The crew were great, our guides were hands down amazing, the food on board was terrific. We used hybrid classic bikes and it was hard work on some of the hills, so just be warned if you are considering classic bikes. The terrain was much different than we expected. We felt very accomplished by the end of our adventure.

nevjerojatan

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

Great way to see Croatia

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!!

Great trip

Excellent trip - the guides were super friendly and professional and went above and beyond to make our this a wonderful experience The locations visited were stunning and the cycling very enjoyable (once we changed to e-bikes…) Not luxurious- but more than adequate I would highly recommend this trip to anybody

Great Experience - Spit to Dubrovnik

the staff was excellent! Sonya, Miranda, Lubicza and Carlo all had excellent interpersonal people skills and language skills. Sonya and Miranda were very helpful to me because I was a new rider. They explained things multiple times and never lost their patience. These are excellent instructors because they had to manage a group of riders who had different abilities. I would do it again. Food, chefs and cabin were also excellent. Air conditioning at night did not always go on. That is my only criticism.

Croatia impresses you at every turn

Cycling the route Dubrovnik to Split thru the islands was nothing short of spectacular. The e-bikes were great, the food was good and the crew very good. Especially Mario and Andro. You guys rock! Being over 70, we were a bit nervous but the crew and the others on the boat made us feel like one big family. Thanks to the captain and crew for keeping us on course, safe and well fed!

Sail & Cycle - Split to Dubrovnik

Very well organised, great fun and perfect mix of excercise (cycling) and socialising (mainly eating, drinking and exchanging stories) with fellow guests. Special thanks to Miranda and Sanja for expert guidance and story telling on our daily cycles and to Ljubica and Karlo for superb bar & restaurant service and to captain and ship crew for guiding us safely in and out of our many ports, including loading and unloading 34 bikes each time.

- Graham, 10/09/2025 14:15, Travelled in a Couple

So Much Fun!

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

Everything I had Envisioned

Just returned from our fantastic cycle cruise with Sail Croatia with husband. It was glorious and just what I had envisioned: fun cycling with e-bikes through lovely scenery along the coast and on inland roads (only a few intrepid souls conquered the prolonged and steep hills and switchbacks on regular bikes); sunny and warm days; great food and beverages; comfortable accommodations on the boat; swimming in lovely clear or aquamarine water; and warm interactions with our fellow cyclists and amazing staff. I am particularly grateful to Sanja and Miranda for the care they showed us as my husband’s cycling experience was limited. Sanja’s daily storytime about history and culture, and Miranda’s care when my bike had a mechanical problem were truly appreciated. I also loved their attention to detail during our daily briefings. Finally, with Miranda leading and Sanja sweeping, it was liberating to be able to stop to take photos without holding the group up. Truly a fantastic vacation!

Even better than expected

We did the boat/bike from Dubrovnik to Split and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly! Our accomodation on board Colombo was very comfortable and our breakfast and lunch each day provides the fuel we needed to ride. No complaints about the food, although the tuna served at the Captain’s Dinner was overcooked for our preference. The crew of Colombo were all friendly and helpful if anything, I could have done a little more cycling most days, but that is not a complaint. We were very impressed with Andro and Mario. Thank you for a wonderful adventure. I 🩷 Croatia!!

- David, 10/09/2025 12:43, Travelled in a Couple

Sail Croatia Cycle

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.

- Doug, 10/09/2025 06:40, Travelled with Friend/s

Andre and Ilona

Andre and Ilona went above and beyond all expectations for quality of service , dedication and punctuality. Their passion was shared with everyone on the tour. They should be offered extended and improved contracts immediately................or you are not doing your job!

Best way to see Croatia - still smiling

Everything about this trip from the Croatian islands setting to the boat to the cycling and swimming and especially to our guides/crew and fellow travelers. Our guides Miranda and Sanja were born for this. Always upbeat, knowledgeable and solicitous. Every day a new beautiful island, cycle and swim. I travelled with a group of 6 friends but the trip brought 32 of us together to happily mix it up on rides and meals. The boat was a perfect size for this adventure. Besides our leader-guides, the entire crew was warm and fun. Like I said - still smiling!

The tour guides, the islands, the water, the food! I could go on and on! Just perfect!

- Jill, 09/09/2025 08:21, Travelled in a Couple

Fantastic Trip! Ready to Go Again.

Visiting the small island coves and gorgeous harbors from the comfort of our boat was the experience of a lifetime. We loved the biking and the swimming. Our group became fast friends and we loved our guides. The food was healthy and delicious . Hats off to Miranda and Sanya for leading us to one beautiful place after another and for sharing all of your local knowledge. You were always cheerful and patient. We loved our trip! .

Bike Sail Excellent Experience

Bike leaders Sanja and Miranda provided great routes. They provided top drawer guidance, recommendations, bike support and were very flexible with us. Ship crew were friendly and ship was nice with friendly clothes lines.. island stops were amazing .

Princesa Diana 8/30-9/5

Most wonderful time on this gorgeous boat! The food was so healthy and delicious. The boat staff was so attentive especially Ljbisha! Miranda and Sonia were the best guides - not only on the bike "roads" but about the beautiful country of Croatia. Both very good communicators with a serving attitude. We'd sail with you again! The E-bikes were wonderful too. Thanks for a most memorable vacation. Patty & Matt Edling

Fantastic week cycling and sailing

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.

- Heather , 08/09/2025 16:55, Travelled with Friend/s

Just do it!

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.

SECOND SAIL

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.

- LIZANNE BARRY, 08/09/2025 09:11, Travelled with Friend/s

Excellent time!

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.

Bike and boat

The bike rides, the stops on different islands, your staff, the food.. Overall, we were very impressed with our holidays and will highly recommend to others.

Great trip to the islands of Croatia

The itinerary was well plannned with excellent leaders. I especially enjoyed the bike routes and swim spots! The food was good but the coffee was not acceptable! I would use Sail Croatia again!

Visiting the Islands

It started with communication. The staff at Sail- Croatia communicated were very accommodating. Prompt responses and always made you feel comfortable. The crew ship staff were excellent as well.

- Antonio Simone , 08/09/2025 05:42, Travelled in a Couple

A great combination

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!

Great trip

We loved our experience biking daily and enjoying the town sight later. The entire crew was great, food was excellent. Andre and Andro were awesome guides and going above and beyond to have a safe biking experience but also to see amazing towns! Would definitely recommend!

- Erin, 07/09/2025 14:26, Travelled in a Couple

great crew

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.

Amazing sail Croatia

We recently had the best week of our 6 week trip from Australia with Sail Croatia. Miranda and llona were so lovely, personable and fun. The tour catered to every level of ability and the e-bikes were excellent quality. I would do this again in a heartbeat- A great way to see beautiful Croatia. Oh and the food George and the lovely crew created and served was something to look forward to each day.

Fantastic Adventure

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!

Awesome experience!

We had a wonderful time on the Sail Croatia bike trip! (we did Split southern return to Split) What made it extra special was our two guides Miranda and Ilona! They absolutely nailed it from a tour guide perspective. They mixed safety, fun, local culture history and helped with getting us transfers at the end of the trip! I hope to do this trip again, and hopefully we can re-create the experience with them!

Sail Croatia Bike/Cruise

The people on the staff of the cruise ship made the entire experience so enjoyable!

- Sue, 03/09/2025 01:02, Travelled with Friend/s

Great Cycle Trip!

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.

- Graham, 01/09/2025 05:26, Travelled with Friend/s

Aussies Cycling the Dalmatian Islands

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.!!!!!

- Margie, 01/09/2025 04:54, Travelled with Friend/s

Remarkable

The Croatian views stand alone with their incredible beauty. Rides thread between vineyards, olive groves, mountains, Adriatic coasts, National Parks, and more. The food and wine is delectable. But the best is the interactions with the Sail Croatia staff. They are kind, informative, energetic, and helpful. It was such an amazing trip!

- Kim G, 01/09/2025 03:52,

Fabulous

Great diversity of cycle routes and port stops. Guides were great! Boat crew also great. Meals lovely but would have preferred dinners rather than lunch as I wanted a swim, shower and nap after my cycle rather than having to sit for two hours in a stuffy fining room in the middle of the day. The bed was so hard that I longed for morning to come.

Exercise and relaxation

Our cycle/boat trip was a great mix of sightseeing, swimming, coffee, snacks and exercise. I recommend using an electric bike, even if you are a cyclist. George was our chef. . . he was the best. Lots of vege’s with his meals. Great guides.

- Richard, 25/08/2025 09:36, Travelled in a Couple

Sail Croatia anytime

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!

- Michelle, 22/08/2025 19:21, Travelled with Friend/s

Lots of good.

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.
