Wonderful!

Outstanding guides, Calum and Srdan were wonderful . Great captain, cook and crew on the Mali Luka . Food was plentiful and delicious. This sail-cycle cruise was such a lovely way to enjoy this beautiful country. Would go again in a heartbeat.

A perfect adventure/active trip

I signed up for this trip at the last minute and I am so glad I did. It was incredible in every way. Sailing on the Afrodita to all the islands was a truly special experience. If you strive on active and adventurous trips, this trip checks all the boxes, including not only biking and swimming but also enough free time to explore the islands as you want. The guides, Tonka and Natasha, were fabulous. They are knowledgeable, helpful and cheerful, always providing just enough direction but not too much. Since they are Croatians, I got a better sense of the country through them. The trip was extremely well orchestrated. For example, we might depart from one port on an island and then be met by the boat at another port. Never any hiccups, it was like magic! They also would adjust itinary based on weather or port conditions in a seamless way. Another nice thing is that dinners were on our own, so each night, we could do whatever we wanted for the evening.

Wonderful Bike Cruise

We had an amazing week with Tonka and Callum onboard the Mali Luka. It was a small group of 10 passengers and the experience couldn't have been more wonderful. Tonka and Callum told us many stories and recommended great things to do on each island during our free time. The food was great and the bike was enjoyable. I highly recommend this trip.

Lifetime experience

I was delighted on the service on the ship and quality of our tour guides Cal and Tonka. Due to potentially bad weather they worked with the captain to tour the south of the island instead of the north. As a bonus they took us to a stone sculpting school. They did extensive research on all our stops about things to see and the history of the area. They were always in tune with our needs and went above and beyond. The ship is in excellent condition, the bikes were like new. The food on the ship was delicious and plentiful. Quite often we said the ships food was better than some of the restaurants we visited. I'm looking forward to booking another holiday with Sail Croatia

3rd time doing this trip and everyone is different but excellent - there’s nothing like it

We had a great time cycling sailing socialising and visiting the islands our guides Tonka Natasha and Tony were out to ensure everything went smoothly - their clear instructions, information with a friendliness and sense of humour was exceptional The crew too worked hard to ensure the boat was immaculate and where it should be - peter the barman and waiter was efficient with a great sense of humour A mix of nationalities made the conversations at meal times and whenever we were together more interesting I was worried when I booked this holiday for the 3rd time and it didn’t disappoint - we will be back next year for a 4th 😊 Thankyou to our guides and crew you gave it your all

Get Outside with Bike Croatia

My wife and I had a great time on the sailing and biking adventure! The guides, scenery, and bikes were amazing! The routes were challenging at times and very beautiful. We had plenty of free time and made lots of new friends from around the world. We added extra days in Split (before) and Dubrovnik (after) which were both very enjoyable. Really loved this trip!

- John, 29/06/2026 13:00, Travelled with Family

Excellent Trip

Just came back from a wonderful cycling trip. The crew was just excellent....very professional, helpful, organized and fun! The food on the boat was simply outstanding. Every day's itinerary was well organized, with enough rest stops during the daily rides. There was also enough time on each island to do your own exploring. I'm really glad I chose Sail Croatia. I have only positive things to say about them.

- Linda, 28/06/2026 16:30, Travelled Solo

Favorite holiday ever

I didn’t know what to expect and was a little concerned doing this trip as a solo but it turned out to be beyond fantastic. The only bad thing is that it ended! Calvin and Srdan were amazing guides. The crew was efficient and kind. I needed some extra early morning assistance to get my luggage off the boat for a very early uber ride to the airport, and Iono (?) quickly volunteered and made all my stress go away. The ship was very clean. The food was fantastic. The bikes were easy to use and well maintained. The rides were a fun mix of adventure and sightseeing. I was happy to use my e-bike assist on the longer rides, which made the experience so much pre enjoyable. The swims in the sea were delightful. I easily connected with the other passengers, and I now consider many of them friends. But most of all, it was Calum and Srdan who made the week so special. Thank you!! I hope to return and bring my loved ones with!!

Mali Luka bike & boat week Croatia

Perfect! Loved the whole week. Well worth it. Spectacular scenery and swim spots through the islands. Guides Callum and serge were awesome as were the whole Mali Luka crew. Will definitely do another Sail Croatia bike & boat in the next couple of years.

- Ann, 26/06/2026 06:34, Travelled with Family

Great tour

Holiday was great. All staff on the boat were great to deal with. Boat was clean and safe as well as the food was excellent. Only drawback was that there were some people not on ebikes which held up the whole tour several times. Would have liked to ebike longer distances but were not able to because of this issue.

Best trip ever!

We were a group of 4 siblings, plus spouses, traveling on the Split to Dubrovnik sail/cycle route. We loved everything about the trip. I highly recommend an e-bike which helps on the long hills. Our daily guides were very knowledgeable about the islands we cycled. Each morning before we cycled, the Guide would explain some history of the island, and what to look out for on the upcoming day's ride. One Guide led and the other followed the group. The scenery was spectacular. The food was very good, and the accommodations were comfortable. We stayed in a different port each night so between cycling and walking around the different ports, we got a flavor of each individual island.

Best Experience Ever!

I’ve had an amazing time and a wonderful experience that I will never forget. Not only were our guides Ivan and Lucy were amazing during the bike tours, they also provided amazing suggestions on things to do and where to eat. They were very well organized and took care of everything even reservation reservations, or booking tours. Lucy also provided us with so much history and information on every island we were at. It was such an amazing trip and an adventure of a lifetime. They made sure everyone was included and had something to do that, giving many alternatives incase some groups wanted to do their own thing. We made so many unforgettable memories as well as friends. I definitely would recommend and would totally do it again! Lucy and Ivan are the best people, friends, and guides ever!

Cycle tour

We loved it, the cycling was excellent, bike easy to use and we were kept safe. Croatia is beautiful, clean and welcoming. The boat was lovely and clean and the capt was incredibly proud of his boat, and very accommodating for the guests. Food was amazing, healthy and filling.

Dubrovnik - Split

The trip was fantastic- we had 2 really great guides Ivan and Lujcia- the group on the boat got on well. Such beautiful coastline - cycling on the islands was a fabulous way to see them. Would recommend this trip

A to be repeated expectation of extraordinary landscape exercise and relaxation led by a wonderful group of integrated staff, guides Tonka and Callum and a much respected leader.... The Mali Luka Captain Ivan and his trainee. Thank you everyone. Georgie

Happy Trails

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.

- Patricia, 17/06/2026 02:32, Travelled with Family

Natasa and Marin were excellent guides and made the trip a safe and pleasurable experience!

Dietary needs were met. Boat was comfortable- and just the right size. Crew were helpful and friendly - especailly Ella! What an extraordinary cycling experience! Beautiful way to see parts of Croatia we never would have seen on our own. Thank you!

Lovely Sail / Cycle Trip

The guides were great, very informative and knowledgeable throughout the trip. The food was good, and we had the opportunity to see many stunning places. Croatia is a truly beautiful country. One area for improvement would be the towel service, as towels were only changed once a week. I also felt that the recommended gratuity of €105 per guide was quite expensive. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, with plenty of beautiful sights and memorable moments.

Great trip

Miran and Yossib were great. They quickly became friends as well as our guides. Each were very knowledgeable with all of the islands as well as the Biking adventure. I would recommend this trip to anyone. They definitely would need to be ready for a couple challenging bike rides.

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.

Croatia trip of a lifetime 2026🇨🇦🥰

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.

Poor value for the money

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.

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.

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.

Croatia Bike Cruise

Our cruise with Sail Croatia was lovely. The biking was a bit more challenging & athletic than anticipated, so we were happy to have e-bikes. But our tour guides Marin & Natasha were knowledgeable & skilled so we always felt safe. Daily rides lasted 3-6 hours, the latter with added excursions. Some on quiet remote roads, but a few on rather busy thruways. I'd suggest offering a more leisurely bike option with site-seeing stops (we did coffee & beach stops but they were very brief) The boat itself was basic but comfortable (premier class). Our room was adequate & clean, with a large bathroom, plenty of hot water & AC. However there were some lacking amenities such as a comfortable lounge area away from the wind when at sail, with seating enough for everyone on board. We were also expecting sun loungers on the top deck, but there were just a few plastic chairs. Lastly the buffet breakfasts were wonderful, but not the plated lunches. I'd suggest offering buffet instead.

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!

Mrs. Rina Nordholm

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.🇭🇷

Exceptional Bike Boat Trip

The holiday was more than excellent. The boat was very clean and comfortable. The crew were exceptional being very helpful and friendly. The food was excellent and our chef was great. Our tour managers Tonka and Lucija were wonderful. I really liked story time with history of Croatia etc. They regularly updated us on the group Whatsup. I was pleased I changed to an E-bike a month before leaving as there were some long hills to climb. We had a great very friendly group. I would def recommend this bike boat trip with Sail Croatia to anyone. I love Croatia.

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!!!

The Mali Luka Team!

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!!

Top Trip!

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.

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.

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.
