Holiday Itinerary

Day 1

(Saturday) SPLIT - Solta Island (approx. 25 km / 15 miles of cycling)


The day begins with a flexible check in time between 11am and 1pm at split Harbor. From here the adventure starts with a short bike ride to the Island of Solta. Our first excursion will take us through lush stone walled fields flanked by olive & fig trees accompanied by the refreshing smell of lavender scented air. Once new friends have been made and a fun afternoons cycling is completed, we’ll jump on another ferry to take us across to the illustrious island of Brac. Our boat will moor in Milna harbor, a gorgeous cavernous bay surrounded by natural stone walled houses. *Unless you have an early arrival flight, you might need a pre-night stay in Split. We can recommend hostels, hotels or private apartments*




Day 2

(Sunday) Brac Island (approx. 45 km / 28 miles of cycling)


Now you’re all warmed up and have acclimatised to the Croatian environment, we start the real Croatia cycling holiday! The day begins with a long but smooth hill climb. Brac Island is beautiful with numerous lush pine forests, olive groves and renowned vineyards that have birthed the famous Vugaca white wine & Murvica red wine.




Brac Island is also famous for providing the white marble used to construct The White house in Washington DC, and the Reichstag building in Berlin. 

Once on the bike trail, the views of the neighbouring island of Hvar will be sure to inspire. The spectacular vistas of the Bol beach on the cycle down into the bay are a joy to behold. Bol possess the infamous 'Golden Horn beach; Zlatni Rat' a postcard perfect beach frequently used in Croatia tourist adverts.

A swimming break is necessary to wash the sweat off in the refreshing sea before we jump back on our bike’s to begin our cycle to the longest Croatian island of Hvar.




Day 3

(Monday) Hvar Island


Your bike holiday in Croatia reaches new highs today as you make your way to the stunning town of Hvar, the island that receives more sunshine than anywhere else in the Adriatic.

 





The countryside surrounding Hvar is gorgeous and the ride to Hvar is so worth it. The winding streets, pretty churches, relaxing cafes and smells of the fabulous restaurants adds to Hvars charm.

This evening, we move to the Island of Korcula, another magical destination.




Day 4

(Tuesday) Korcula Island (approx. 45 km / 28 miles of cycling)


Our biking adventure continues to take in the spell binding beauty of the Adriatic. Korcula has its place in the history books as the birthplace of Marco Polo and is a top contender for most stunning scenery out of all the Adriatic Islands.



Within the Island of Korcula our sail biking adventure continues to the town of Blato, a city like Rome - built on seven hills. After our visit to Blato we make our way into the medieval town of Korcula a less touristy version of Dubrovnik with similarly winding roads. Korcula has numerous bars, shops, restaurants and probably the finest sunsets in the Adriatic. A great opportunity to kick back and relax after a day of cycling. 

 

 






Day5

(Wednesday) Mljet island National Park (approx. 20 km / 12 miles)


Mljet is a Mecca for all adventure travellers. It’s a pristine unspoiled National Park that offers the perfect terrain for biking. The terrain is reminiscent of the Mediterranean with the pined trees that line the trails we’ll be blazing!

 



On two wheels we’ll discover more of the Island than most people so you’ll have more pictures to show off! We'll circle the salt-water lake, ascend a few hills, and fly down the other sides. Being less populated with tourists, Mljet is more off the beaten track than other places in Croatia. In the evening our boat glides across the sea to the Peljesac peninsula where our trip continues to inspire.

 




 

Day 6

(Thursday) Peljesac Peninsula - Makarska (approx. 30 km / 18 miles)


The morning commences with a cycle through back country, a world-renowned wine-growing region that grows an amazing wine called Dingac. Locals are proud of this brand and rightly so!  From here, we’ll make a slow climb up to 1000 metres above sea level where we’ll have a spectacular panoramic view of the island of Korcula

 


The decent will be an adrenaline fuelled one as we fly down towards Loviste, a little town where our ship awaits us. Once on board we’ll make our way to the increasingly popular 'Makarska', located beneath the 5000 ft high mountain peaks. There is a fine selection of great beaches in this area; the town is small so all the awesome nightlife is within easy reach – including a club in a cave!

 





Day 7

(Friday) Omis - Split Trogir (ca. 58 km / 36 miles)


On our penultimate day we travel to the scenic town of Omis continuing through the valley of the Cetina River with the majestic Mosor Mountain range as our back drop. The scenic winding roads lead us down to Split, here you can partake in a guided tour of the UNESCO word heritage certified city.

 




Split has a vast array of swimming friendly beach areas, bars, clubs and numerous opportunities to shop & pickup a souvenir or two. Split has something for everybody. The good times will roll and undoubtedly Split is the perfect location for the last day of your sail cycle Croatia holiday.

 





Day 8 - departure (too soon)


Once Breakfast is devoured, its time to bid your farewells with heavy hearts to your new friends, tour guides and crew members.

For sure this will be a Croatia cycling holiday to treasure. We look forward to having more amazing moments with you on your next activity holiday in Europe!

Reviews

Alan Cotts - Excellent trip

Just come back from Croatia. Not happy to be back, but had to write back and say thanks to all the guides, boat crew and fellow ship mates! what a trip - do add me on facebook, plenty of pictures already uploaded. rgds A.

Constantine Tablan - best trips of my life

Hello several months late (so sorry!!!) My review is as follows: My Sail/Bike Croatia trip was one of the highlights on my trip around Europe. The weather was perfect, the guides were friendly and the scenery we got to see because we were on bikes were nothing short of amazing. Some of these places I definitely don't think I would have seen if I were on the party boats. When I first arrived, I was a little skeptical how much I was going to enjoy myself because many of the people who were boarding looked about the same age as my Parents. However, there were also a mix of people in their (mid) 20's whom were closer to my age and I could mingle with. This is not to say I didn't mingle with the older folks too, I found talking to them were just as interesting as anyone and many of them were just as full of energy as the younger participants. The weather was perfect for riding, walking, swimming and chilling. This coupled with great company, great food, great activities, great everything made the week seem all the more amazing. Thanks for helping me throughout the booking process as I was on the road at the time of setting all this up and my internet was sometimes limited. From info, booking, payment, instruction, it was as hassle free as one could ask whilst backpacking. In short, one of the best trips of my life!

Mr R. Bell - very pleased

Adventure cycling the Damation Coast is up there with my favourite holiday memories! A great way to see Croatia, visitng some of the Islands and taking in the stunning views everyday. We were lucky to be with some great people so we had a lot of fun and a lot of silly laughs. Maybe more challenging than I was expecting, but for me that just made the experience all the more better! Very happy, please keep in touch - regards

Jim & Carol May - Remarkable views & holiday

Dobra dan, some reflections at the end of the week of Crotian biking. Many ties during the week we had to pinch ourselves to remind us that this is real - this beauty, the wonderful people, God's creation of this meeting of land and sea. Each day we pulled into a different vilage by the sea, hopped on our bikes and climbed from sea level, crossing the mountains and enjoyng the remarkable views of the neighboring islands and the company of our Ausie bike companions and the commentary and encouragement of Robert, our Croatian guide. Our boat accomodations have been wonderful. When we finish biking, we have a shower and look for the deck chair with the best view and settle in until dinner is served. We have 2 meals on board each day, sometimes lunch is on th bike ride - maybe a picnic -maybe a local pizzaria. Sometimes we have dinner in town. Last night in the resort town of Mkaruska, we went to a wonderfu sidewalk resturant on the square. When we mentioned we were from the Green world holidays boat, and we were treated to complimentary aperatif, appetizer and dessertand also had wonderful local specialities. Each night many boats tie up together. Sometimes the noise makes it difficult to sleep, so we have earplugs (thanks Cindy from Alaska trip) "Night Peace" is supposed to start at midnight. Last night, however, the Czechs in the next boat sang until almost 2 AM. - but they were good and we let their folk music serenade us to sleep. They were accompanied by guitar and violin so it was very special. Each morning, we tried to walk/run in the village before our boat departs for the days adventure. This mornig was an early departure, but not before the fishing boats pulled in, selling their night catch. Dressed in typical Croatian navy and white stripes and orange waders, they sorted, weighed and sold their catch right off the boat. Today, sadly, is our last riding day. We will bike to s special spot, an old mill where a river (fresh water) and canyon run close to the sea. Often, we think as we head to special areas that we can now cross them off our wish list- not so with Croatia --- we need to come back!t There is so much more to discover and we need to continue to work on our new skill - POMOLO - Crostian for "slow down and relax...." Pomolo! - Carol and JIm

Caroline Richardson - Stunning scenary

Stunning scenary, delicious food and romantic sunsets it doesn’t get much better. We will always remember this holiday fondly. Thank you to Elliott, Nick, Jan and all the crew!

Kirk Bach - Highly recommend this cycling holiday

Loved Croatia, and exploring it on bike and boat has to be way to do it. I can highly recommend this cycling holiday to any biker or adventure holiday enthusiast.

Carrie Bennett - Best holiday of my life

Sail Bike Croatia adventure holiday was one of the best holidays of my life. I met so many nice people and the scenery was breath taking. I will come back again for sure!
