Fabulous!!!!! This trip for exceeded my expectations. Tonka and Elena were incredible cycle tour guides, balancing fun, safety, great cycling, routes, flexibility for weather conditions …. All to make the needs of the individuals making of our group. Our cabin was absolutely beautiful with a walk-in closet! I did not expect daily housekeeping. Anna was great. The food on this trip was spectacular. Breakfast and lunches were absolutely amazing. We will definitely recommend this trip to others.

Our holiday with Sail Croatia was amazing. What a wonderful way to see this beautiful country. The staff went above and beyond in their service to teach us about the history and care for our needs. Special shout out to Kristina, Josko, Andro, who made this an extra special holiday!!

The boat, Princeza Diana, was lovely and the crew was outstanding! Our daily lunches were just delicious, way nicer than we anticipated. Our cycling guides, Tonka and Elena, managed to keep 32 riders of varying skill levels safe and entertained. Our daily rides were so much fun on the beautiful Croatian islands!
- Patricia, 12/05/2026 22:22, Travelled in a Couple
We experienced great service and were completely satisfied with our trip. The captain and crew did an outstanding job navigating us through the outer islands near Split. Our cycling guides Miranda and Lucy were always cheerful and enthusiastic. The e-bikes are very user friendly and can power up the hills with no problem.. Lucy helped us to learn about Croatian culture and history at our rest stops while riding through the beautiful countryside. Extra add ons like wine tasting, olive oil tasting and a meal on a local farm.added to the experience.
- Joan, 12/05/2026 16:51, Travelled in a Couple
The experience exceeded our expectations in every way. The boat was immaculate, our cabin was spacious, the food was top notch and the crew and guides were excellent. A special shout out goes to Tonka and Elena for leading our large group with such ease. We especially enjoyed Tonka’s “story times” throughout our rides. Loved every minute of it!!

What a wonderful week travelling on the Mali Luka from island to island to cycle in beautiful Croatia. We appreciated the emphasis on safety and fun at the same time. Our guides Ivica and Sasha treated everyone equally and made us all feel very comfortable. The routes are a mix of lengths with varied scenery keeping it interesting. Historical facts were shared about each location. The staff work around the clock making sure that the experience for clients is sensational. Excellent communication with WhatsApp throughout. Book this adventure as soon as you can!

Just about everything!!! This was the most enjoyable vacation I have ever taken because the Sail Croatia staff - tour director Sasa and Ivica (cyling guide) made it all so easy and fun. We had one raiiny cool day and they even made that fun - there was no way I was missing out on the ride. I also loved how they recommended or organized things to do on the various islands after the ride - like learn about stone masonary, going to a local winery for a wine tasting and even a local live play. After I had a little fall (not on the bike) they came to my rescue immediately and made me feel safe. I will always love Croatia and I hope to return next year to try another route --I will ask for Sasa and Ivica and I would follow them anywhere. I already miss them and this amazing holiday and it has only been three days since our tour ended. .
- Beth, 12/05/2026 06:34, Travelled in a Couple
My husband and I had a fantastic time cycling and cruising. Our guides made our trip exceptional, their knowledge and attentativeness and care they put in to the whole week made it awesome.
- Erin Long, 11/05/2026 18:24, Travelled in a Couple
Well organised, great guides and boat. Suggested improvements- change sheets mid week. Lunch was great all well other than the last day which was disappointing.
- Katharine, 11/05/2026 08:44, Travelled in a Couple
The staff!! Wonderful tour guides, Tonka and Elena, and wonderful crew on Princess Diana. First class service, food, and comfortable accommodations. All our needs/requests were met with a smile. Fabulous food as well. Loved the bike rides with beautiful scenery, good equipment, and loads of fun information. We would do the entire trip again!

Great time away, food was not to my liking and very bland especially the soups. Mash potato was like slop on plate meat stew very tough. Coffee not nice all agreed bought my own and it went missing. Toilet paper should be filled properly at all times as only little was put in and we kept running out along with others. No ware to sit when weather was so bad as only 4 seats by bar all tables were played straight after breakfast. Breakfast: nothing left one morning at 7.45 when breakfast should have been until 8.30. Plates taken when we were still eating at breakfast meats and cheese removed so fast not time to eat, most days they had breakfast cleared down before 8.15 making many of us feeling rushed and not able to eat what we wanted for our breakfast. The crew were very nice . Would have liked the bikes we paid for to have been available when we were not on ride so we could explore. Felt the whole week centred around them not us.
- karen, 11/05/2026 08:01, Travelled with Family
Our guides, Tonka and Elena were amazing. So knowledgeable and helpful. Also great senses of humour. The ship’s crew went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and pampered.
- Judy, 11/05/2026 07:55, Travelled in a Couple
Combing our love of boating and cycling the tour exceeded our expectations. The ship crew and our cycling tour guides were professional, friendly and knowledgable making our time on board and visiting the many ports a memorable experience. To the many friends we met we wish you all happy cycling.
- Jane Doherty , 10/05/2026 10:27, Travelled in a Couple
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
The e-bikes were great and made the cycling easy to do and not exhausting each day. The small group(32) meant good conversations and blossoming connections. The crew and guides and the place were amazing. The islands were truly beautiful.
- Anonymous, 05/05/2026 15:59, Travelled in a Couple
Just being able to see so much of Croatia in a short period of time! We had fantastic guides and our crew were amazing. Wish we could have stayed longer. Our weather was great, food was awesome, the stories and history of Croatia was a bonus. I would recommend your company to all my friends!! My only suggestion would be if you could sell the wine by the glass as opposed to the bottle! 🍷😁
- Diane, 05/05/2026 15:07, Travelled in a Couple
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!
- Pam, 04/05/2026 12:40, 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.
- Laurie, 04/05/2026 10:26, Travelled with Family
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 !!!
- Michyla, 04/05/2026 07:36, Travelled with Family
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!
The variety of cycling was interesting - no two days were alike as we visited different islands and cycled through a variety of landscapes. Life on board the Princess Diana was luxurious, the food was generous and very nice and we had a great group of people from different countries.
- Sue, 04/05/2026 04:46, Travelled in a Couple
Sail Cycle Croatia offers a perfect blend of cycling, beautiful scenery, exceptional hospitality and delicious food. The routes are meticulously planned, offering breathtaking views of the stunning Croatian Islands. The crew and guides are truly fabulous, their passion for the region and dedication to ensuring every guest has an incredible experience shines through. They are knowledgeable, friendly and always ready to lend a hand or share insightful stories about the places we visited. It’s an experience packed with joy, adventure & memories that we will cherish for years to come. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Croatia in a unique and vibrant way!
- Andy, 04/11/2025 22:55, Travelled in a Couple
Better than we anticipated. The staff, guides, locations, rides, bikes and people on the cruise were all fantastic. Would do it again in a heartbeat. A definite must do if you love exploring beautiful places
- Leigh, 21/10/2025 07:27, Travelled in a Couple
The cycling, the crew, the food and the rest of the guests were all fabulous! We were on Classic bikes, which was challenging at times however that's what we wanted! Scenery was beautiful and every day brought more fun and enjoyment. Would definitely repeat the whole thing!!
- Sarah and Ian, 20/10/2025 17:36, Travelled in a Couple
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.
- Christine, 20/10/2025 11:45, Travelled with Family
We have traveled all over and this was tge best vacation ever. Sail Croatia was so organized from start to finish. The boat, the crew, the meals and all the other guests....excellent! The bike rides were amazing and all the islands were so beautiful. We will be back!
- Leora, 20/10/2025 06:18, Travelled in a Couple
We had an incredible experience with Sail Croatia! The cycle guides (Andro and Lovre) and boat crew (Lucia, Valentina, and all cooks and staff) were helpful, attentive to detail, and made us all feel right at home in a new country. We had a few weather shifts that meant we had to pivot the original itinerary a bit and I couldn't be more impressed with how they made that feel seamless for us passengers. We enjoyed the daily cycling routes and the food provided on the boat was outstanding, too. My only feedback would be to provide swimming towels (those are a pain to pack, let's be honest) and shower soap in the bathrooms! Thank you for an amazing trip!
- Anonymous, 16/10/2025 17:27, Travelled in a Couple
Everything about the e-cycling/sailing trip was a wow. The sights, the bike, the people, the food. It was all fantastic. Croatia is a stunning country-and very hilly. The e-bikes worked perfectly, for an occasional cycler, I had no problems and didn't mind the hills at all. We had some weather to contend with and the crew pivoted quickly and very professionally. Finding last minute ports, bike rides and great experiences and places to dine. We stayed above deck and would recommend that. Also got bike shorts and glad we did, we were comfy all week long. If you are thinking about this, just do it. It was an unforgettable experience.
- stephanie, 13/10/2025 18:54, Travelled in a Couple
Just a really great way to see coastal Croatia. The boat gave us a clean and comfortable base for bicycling. The roads were consistently hilly, but the e bikes were up to the task. I had mine on high power for most of the rides and never ran out of juice. We agreed that we might have handled the hills without e bikes, but it would have been way less fun! Our weather in October was cool for swimming, but worked well for biking, even though the Borro winds were blowing. The staff was professional, the on board food was delicious, and the villages we visited were clean and interesting.
- Cleo, 13/10/2025 17:08, Travelled in a Couple
We had an incredible week sailing and cycling from Dubrovnik to Split with Sail Croatia! The route was stunning, the e-biking experiences were well-organized, and the landscapes were unforgettable. The Sail Croatia team overall was professional and ensured everything ran smoothly — big thanks to the guides and crew who made the adventure memorable. That said, we felt the dining crew could have been a bit more friendly and approachable. While everything was handled efficiently, a warmer, more engaging attitude would have made mealtimes even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and a unique way to see the Croatian coast — highly recommend the tour, and we hope to see continued improvements in hospitality on board.
- Sheila Marie , 13/10/2025 14:46, Travelled in a Couple
We just finished our 8 day ride Sail Croatia trip & it was fabulous……on so many levels!. Firstly the staff were fantastic, They looked after us all superbly whether sailing our boat in rough seas, serving up endless delicious meals & keeping us safe on the bikes …….they were nothing short of superb. We loved our “active time” with Tonka & Ana, seeing the various villages & landscapes, hearing the history of Croatia & challenging our fitness levels & then some “down time” before exploring the villages. It was a great mix of activity & relaxation. From 2 very recreational riders we loved the cycling. And lastly, our group! We had sooo many laughs & it was special to connect with 28 “new friends” from all parts of the world. Thank you Sail Croatia “A” Team
- Anna, 13/10/2025 07:01, Travelled in a Couple
Everything was well laid out and organized daily. The staff were professional and friendly. We felt safe and appreciated ,and as a result we were well taken care of morning to night.

Our trip started in Dubrovnik where we joined our Sail Croatia boat. Communication about the departure information was clear. We’d arrive a couple of days early to explore the Old city which was a good move as there’s plenty to see. We found it very clean and the locals friendly. A lot of cruise ships arrive into major cities which does lead to a lot of other tourists about. Once we joined our boat and sailed off to our first island with our friendly adventurers, calm resumed. Croatia is surprisingly mountainous but with most of us on sturdy e-bikes that wasn’t a problem. Five of the 32 guests were using regular bikes but all were strong cyclists and powered up the inclines. Cycling through olive groves and vineyards as well as through ancient villages was a real pleasure to complement grinding up a mountainous road to the lookout at the top. Early Oct weather was a little chilly but the sun shone several days and no rain. I did get a few mossie bites. Food on board was good.
- Jennie, 10/10/2025 06:51, Travelled in a Couple
The staff! Ivica and Sonja, our guides, were fabulous! I would give them 10 stars if I could!!!! Couldn’t have asked for better. Clearly they love their jobs and love people! They gave wonderful recommendations. Excursions they offered were amazing, being immersed in their culture. The food was excellent. Just trouble keeping food warm, which is understandable on a boat. Chef was top notch. Food allergies were handled nicely. Wait staff and sailor and other staff couldn’t have been kinder and more helpful. On the biking tours, I recommended that no photo taking while biking should be a strict rule. Very dangerous for biker taking photos as well as other bikers in the group!! Boat needed some updating. Cabins were clean but very small. We would totally book another tour, maybe on another bigger boat. Thank you to everyone who made our tour so wonderful!!

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.
- Beverley, 08/10/2025 19:24, Travelled with Family
This was my first time in Croatia traveling with my husband and another couple from the US. The cruise was above and beyond my expectations. The food was outstanding. We had hot breakfasts and 3 courses for lunch every day. Our guides Jasco and Ana were both amazing. The bike rides were all well planned but there were some changes due to weather, which they improvised very well.. Both of the guides emphasized safety first . This was a great way to see Croatia and a few of the beautiful islands. I would highly recommend this cruise to someone looking for an active and fun vacation.
- Becky, 07/10/2025 17:28, Travelled in a Couple
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
The guides were great. Even at the end of summer they were upbeat and fun. The islands of Croatia a a perfect location for a sail and bike vacation.
- Cecilia , 06/10/2025 15:11, Travelled in a Couple
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
Everything was fantastic! The crew took such good care of us. The food was great! The bikes and biking were excellent. We loved every minute!

We planned an entire European holiday (from Australia) around this trip. From the moment we boarded Emanuel to the time we disembarked we were having the time of our lives. The boat is immaculate and has everything we needed for the week of sailing. Its crew are exceptional and ensured every need of every passenger was met. A special shout out to George, the chef. Every meal someone else cooks for me is hugely appreciated, but George went above and beyond to serve delicious 3 and 4 course meals, tailored to our dietary requirements. Every day (except our boarding day ex-Dubrovnik) we cycled a new and exciting place. All routes were suitable for all levels of experience, scenic and fun. We opted for e-bikes, which proved to be a great idea. I mean, we were on holidays after all. The cycling guides are knowledgeable and careful, without spoiling the fun. If you’re thinking about booking this, take our advice and go for it. You won’t regret it and we may see you there! J & J September 25
- Jay, 30/09/2025 08:12, Travelled in a Couple
Provide daily written out itinerary for people to actually read what times and where things were going on. Have an intercom (overhead speaker) so people can be alerted of pertinent info for all passengers. Verbal daily communication from guide was poor on daily activities. Cycle times need to be longer with less “coffee” breaks (30 min ride, 45 min stop) Our guide, was rude. Our other guide, Mario, was great. Overall, first impression of accommodations found that a bed overhead light was broken with wires exposed, safe didn’t work, tight quarters and air conditioning was poor, Reported broken light immediately and it was repaired.. Safe reported not working, told how to use by crew, but those instructions didn’t work….finally found written safe instructions on top shelf (which we couldn’t see beforehand) and was able to get the safe working on our own.. Food was ok. Bikes were outstanding quality….so good, I’m considering purchasing that brand. Swim stops were great.
- Charlene, 29/09/2025 12:51, Travelled with Family
Hi Charlene, Thank you for your detailed feedback and for highlighting the many positives – we’re pleased to know you enjoyed the swim stops, food, guidance from Mario, and the quality of the bikes, which we’re glad to hear impressed you enough to consider purchasing for yourself. We also appreciate your suggestions regarding a written itinerary, intercom, and cycle breaks, which have been passed on to our Operations Team. We are disheartened to read your comments about one of the Guides, as he has consistently received high praise throughout the season. We’re glad the issues with the light and safe were addressed during your stay, and we will share your note about clearer instructions with our team. Your comments are valuable as we continue striving to enhance our guests’ experience.
The guests, guides and crew were all fabulous and really made this holiday a cherished experience. Like minded active individulas cycling over the Croatian Islands. Spectacular sights and loads of fun. The crew was very attentive and the breakfast and lunches were really good too. Thank you for a fantastic experience and wonderful memories.

I knew this trip would be great but it exceeded my expectations. I never rode an E bike before just mountain biked but felt very comfortable on both dirt roads and roads with cars. A wonderful way to enjoy the scenery which was exquisite. Could have rode a little further on some days but did appreciate having a day to explore on our own. Both Andro and Tony and the rest of the staff were so nice and very knowledgeable and helpful. The weather was perfect and sailing between the islands was smooth and very relaxing. The boat was nice and clean and room accommodations were comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised to come back from our ride half way through the trip and bedding and towels were changed out. I will without a doubt recommend this trip to friends. We also had a great group of other passengers that we enjoyed meeting.
- Andrea, 28/09/2025 17:54, Travelled in a Couple
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip on board Colombo. There was a perfect combination of cycling, boating, swimming and relaxation. The staff were extremely polite and attentive, particularly Marin and Josip who were always approachable, helpful and fun! I look forward to doing another trip with Sail Croatia and recommending them to friends.
- Sally, 27/09/2025 06:24, Travelled in a Couple

- Antonella, 27/09/2025 03:40, Travelled in a Couple
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
