Amazing

This holiday ex exceeded expectations. The itinerary, guides and information, cycling, food, boat, the attractions and the group were all fantastic. It had been recommended to me but it was even better than I expected.

Spectacular cycling in Croatia

We had a fantastic holiday on a Sail Croatia cycling cruise. It really is the best way to see the islands. The guides are professional and informative. I would advise booking an above deck room. It is also worthwhile knowing that you won’t cycle through/visit Hvar Town due to the island not allowing bike tours in there so consider visiting here before or after your cruise. We loved the whole trip and met some great people.

Unforgettable Experience

My husband and I were nervous about trying our first e-bike tour, but this trip completely blew us away! The boat was immaculate, our cabin was comfortable and quiet, and the three-course lunches were spectacular. The crew and guides were incredible—knowledgeable, safe, and exceptionally friendly. The e-bikes made riding up the island hills a breeze. Beyond the beautiful views, the best part was the lifelong friendships we made with the other 33 passengers. If it sounds too good to be true, believe me, it wasn’t. It was perfect.

Wonderful Week

We had a great experience with Sail Croatia! The boat was very nice with comfortable cabins, larger than we expected. The food was delicious. We enjoyed the company of the other passengers as well. We were very impressed with our guides Ivica and Antonio. They were very knowledgeable and helpful. We had never ridden e-bikes and they made sure we were safe and enjoyed the experience. The riding was beautiful and we were able to enjoy it all the more with such competent guides. They also shared their love of Croatia with us which truly made this a wonderful trip. We highly recommend seeing the islands this way!

Outstanding trip

We were fortunate to get on the Princeza Diana for our Sail/bike Croatia trip and she did not disappoint. The boat was spectacular, the rooms were spotless with comfy beds, the food was varied and presented beautifully ( bravo Marco ) and the bar had whatever you desired. Our guides Ivica and Antonio were the best. They were able to keep all 31 of us informed of the routes each day and any areas that may be tricky. No issues with our bike and lots of power to get up the steep climbs. It was so much fun getting to know our guides and Danny and Sanja were just so sweet. This group of people are what made the trip so special from sitting with new people at meals everyday to large happy hours nightly. 20 out of 10.

Thrill of a lifetime!

This holiday exceeded all of our expectations! The boat accommodations, the guides and leaders, the food, and the itinerary. We had a wonderful travel experience! Thank you.

Split to Dubrovnik

I would easily rate this as a 10 out of 10 holiday! Princenza Diana ship was very clean and had a real boating vibe. But it was the staff that really made our experience exceptional. All the staff knew us by name and provided personal and professional support to our specific needs. Safety was a priority on the cycling experience and we were always properly prepared for the day’s ride. The cycling routes took us through small villages, olive groves and vineyards, on paved paths with little to no traffic. I am ready to book my next adventure with Sail Croatia 👍

- Barb and Dave, 05/10/2026 07:22, Travelled in a Couple

Mrs

We had a great time.. the staff couldn’t have been more caring. The food was delicious. The tour guides were brilliant, adapting to problems with ease and maturity. They had a great sense of humor, without losing strength in situations that could have been stressful. A real pleasure to be on board for the week and learn so much about the Croatian Culture. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Sail Croatian Bike Tour. Cheers Kathy

Great week on the Dalmatian Coast

We had a wonderful week boating and biking; note the use of the word boating vs sailing. There were no sails and I was somewhat disappointed and I think the company should make this clear from the onset! That said, it was a great experience. Staff was exceptional, food was really good and we had an exceptional chef who clearly loves what he does. I would have loved to have biked longer routes or maybe a couple of rides offered per day to the overzealous types on board Great way to see the coast, visit some amazing historical sites, all without packing/unpacking frequently. Highly recommend this outfit for cruising, swimming and biking the Dalmatian coast. Weather was beautiful all week !!!

Fun Cycling and exploring Holiday.

Very good, lots of fun. Lucky to have a great group and guides on board.

Great trip

Had an excellent time. The guides were professional and friendly and did an excellent job navigating the changes needed due to weather. The crew as well as the captain was friendly and helpful. The rides were challenging since I didn’t have an e-bike but I had lots of support from everyone. Be aware there are many climbs at 10% and a few easy rides with easier hills.

Loved the whole adventure

We had the most amazing week aboard the Princesza Diana and were very impressed with both Josip and Simun who were engaging, entertaining and professional, making our comfort and safety a priority. The ship was lovely, our room more spacious than we expected. The e-bikes were comfortable, although not the Fire brand we expected but they did the job and fitted to our size . We would have preferred slightly more cycling and shorter coffee stops but that’s personal preference. The itinerary of the Split southern loop was very beautiful and all the stops were made better by great recommendations from Josip and Simun. We were also very impressed with the food and service on board. Our room was kept clean and fresh . Sanya in the lounge bar was a credit to the ship, very engaged and charming to all the guests. We would definitely recommend to friends and family.

One of our top 5 holidays ever

Whether we just struck gold on this particular boat but this was the most perfect holiday. Our group were all of similar ages & abilities and we'd all opted for e-bikes so the pace didn't stretch anyone and Cal kept us all safe & thoroughly informed. His enthusiasm & friendliness was infectious, Cal you are a credit to the company! Sasha was the other half of the dynamic duo, telling us stories about his beautiful country which he is so knowledgeable and proud of. He was on hand at any time to keep us all happy and certainly performed his role to perfection. The rest of the crew carried out their duties without fuss or drama and the captain was exceptional, even retuning to port at one stage when the weather turned & only set off again when the conditions were safe, thank you. The chef was a magician, the food was better than most restaurant meals that we experienced. Plus we weren't expecting such lavish breakfasts, well done Hope to return in the near future, bravo all

- Sue, 28/09/2026 16:39, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing trip

This was an amazing trip! Everyone on the crew was wonderful! Sasa was the best, He kept us updated on the details of each day and did everything to make us happy and comfortable. His knowledge and passion for his country showed as we toured the islands! Calum was great. He gave detailed descriptions of our bike rides and what to expect. They both made the trip extra fun.. when weather affected our rides, Calum and Sasa made sure we were notified and new plans made. The entire crew was attentive and friendly. We loved every minute of the trip and the enthusiasm from the crew made it extra special. Croatia is beautiful!!

- Amy, 27/09/2026 13:06, Travelled with Family

Cycle cruise

Fabulous. Lots of exercise for sure. We are regular cyclists and found some of the hills gruelling as we were on regular bikes. Would actually recommend ebike rental as 80per cent of group had them. The crew was very friendly and food was delicious. If you like to be active this is the vacation for you.

- Teresa, 27/09/2026 05:47, Travelled in a Couple

Fabulous

We had a fabulous week on our Sail Cycle cruise. We sailed on the Mali Luka. Our cabin was very comfortable, food was plentiful and varied, the service wonderful, thanks Matao. Thank you to all the staff and Captain of the boat, everyone was bery helpful and upbeat, nothing was to much trouble. Our guides Calum and Sasa were amazing everything ran perfectly, they were a great double act kept us smiling and laughing the whole week. Kept us on schedule and safe every ride, we loved Sasa’s local history stories!! The optional excursions were fun and worth doing , it was great to go out with the group. The electric bikes were high quality, well maintained and easy to operate. Croatia is beautiful, we loved all the Islands we visited. We would certainly travel with sale Croatia again.

- Maggie, 25/09/2026 23:19, Travelled in a Couple

Perfect Croatian Vacation

This was one of the best vacations we have taken. The combination of biking through the islands with amazing tour guides Saša and Callum, sailing on Mali Luka with skilled crew and Captain Ivan, eating fabulous authentic Croatian food prepared by chef Neno, and relaxing with new friends….perfection! This is not a luxury cruise, but the crew and itinerary more than made up for it.

- Gina, 25/09/2026 15:07, Travelled in a Couple

Dalmatia is beautiful on a bike!

First experience of cycling by cruise was a learning experience but mostly positive. Rides & bikes excellent, group & information managed really well by our guides. Unfortunately there was an issue with our boat and appreciate a last minute switch by Sail Croatia to keep holiday moving meant few issues. Ship was smaller so a cabin change, dining space cramped, guides were tired & stressed as unable to stay on boat with us. Food was ok but no lighter choices like salad before an afternoon of cycling.

Thank you for your 4-star rating and for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that your first Cycle Croatia experience was mostly positive and that you particularly enjoyed the rides, bikes and the organisation and information provided by our guides. As you mentioned, an issue with the originally allocated ship required us to make a last-minute vessel change in order for your cruise to continue as planned. We appreciate that this resulted in some differences onboard and apologise for the disruption this caused. The replacement vessel remained within the same Premier ship category booked, which offers a comfortable style of small-ship cruising rather than a luxury experience. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the dining space and meal options and will share this with the relevant team. Thank you again for travelling with us. We’re pleased that despite the unexpected change, you had an enjoyable experience overall and appreciate your 4-star review.

Good not great

Everything good except we paid for a premium upgraded ship and it was changed to a lower grade ship.

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re pleased to hear that everything else about your experience was positive. Due to a last-minute operational change, the vessel originally allocated to your departure did need to be changed, and we apologise for any disappointment or confusion this caused. However, your booking was for our Premier ship category, and the replacement vessel was also a Premier ship, meaning there was no downgrade in the category booked. We would also like to clarify that our Premier ships offer a comfortable style of small-ship cruising, rather than an upgraded or luxury ship experience. For guests looking for a higher standard of ship, accommodation and amenities, this is offered through our Luxury Cycle product. Thank you again for travelling with us and for your understanding regarding the last-minute vessel change.

Excellent!

An amazing bike and yacht trip with superb guides and boat mates… felt safe and cared for at every step of the way: food, drinks, service, fantastic bike rides with history provided along the way were all above and beyond expectations. Thank you so much for an incredible holiday!!

Split to Split Cycle Cruise

A fabulous experience - amazing staff, beautiful ship, great food enhanced by the host Lucia and our cycle guide Dora. Both were brilliant and have great interactions with each other and all guests. Their knowledge of Croatia past and present was shared with passion and enthusiasm. Would I recommend anything is different—introduce a cocktail hour on the boat and you'll definitely increase the spend.

Croatia is such a beautiful place! Our guides, Lucy and Dora, were perfect and provided just the right amount of “stories” about Croatia and a huge dose of fun every day.

Sailing the islands

We had a great time sailing the Croatian islands with Sail Croatia. Our crew was great and able to pivot with fires on one of the islands. Princeza Diana boat was very nice and recently remodeled. Weather was spectacular.

Cycling in Croatia

Croatia is a beautiful country, gorgeous clear sea, friendly people. Cycling was great, sometimes a bit longer than expected, the cash bar and cash tips were unexpected, and many small places also only used cash so come prepared! 3 course lunch onboard was nice but we weren’t hungry enough for trying full dinners- loved the air con in the room, but could do with more storage in the bedroom. Great crew, very informative and friendly

- Anonymous, 16/09/2026 06:34, Travelled in a Couple

Awesome Adventure

Our Sail Croatia Cycling Tour was absolutely wonderful! The Princeza Diana is a very beautiful boat! Our cabin & the common areas on the boat were very comfortable & clean. The entire crew was so awesome! Borna & Ana were excellent tour guides, for our cycling & area adventures. The chef on our boat prepared absolutely delicious meals. The coast of Croatia, & the Dalmatian Islands that we cycled on, were gorgeous. This was definitely a trip of a lifetime for us!

- Marcia, 16/09/2026 00:39, Travelled in a Couple

Amazing 🤩

We had a lovely time sailing the Islands of Croatia. Our biking guide Andre was Croatian and he had a wealth of knowledge about each destination and did a great job keeping us safe and giving us freedom to enjoy the area. Our sail Croatia coordinator Callum was amazing as well. He was very professional and fun and also very knowledgeable about Croatia. The ship staff were fabulous. They were very friendly, professional and helpful. Breakfast was a good variety and lunches were always 3 courses and lots of food. Snack were offered in the dining room every day also. Dinners were off the ship at a local restaurant except 2 dinners on the ship. The captain’s dinner and a Bar-b-que. . Both delightful. The only complaint is that the morning coffee was terrible (If you wanted a good coffee you had to buy it), the only portable water was locked up every day at 10pm in the dining room until 7am, and the bedding and towels were only changed once. We showered a lot because of sweating and biking

Great Way to Experience Croatia

Our Sail Croatia Cycle Cruise was fabulous !! Cycling on the islands provides an opportunity to see more than just the ports and who better to show you the culture, history and sights than local Croatian guides. Tonka and Ema were fun, patient and informative, making our cruise a very memorable trip !! The amount of cycling and free time to explore each island was a perfect mix. The small boat group was just the right size to get to know others with simimlar interests of cycling and traveling.

A Memory-Making Bike & Boat Adventure with Sail Croatia

Our Sail Croatia Bike & Boat tour was truly unforgettable! Cycling through Croatia’s countryside, along the coast, and into small villages gave us a unique way to experience its beauty. Ivan and Lucija were an incredible team—knowledgeable, encouraging, energetic, and so much fun! “Eco 4!” and “Follow Me!” are phrases we won’t soon forget. Their stories and insight into Croatia’s history made every ride even more meaningful, and by the end, they felt like family. The entire crew made this trip exceptional. Marko and Marija served incredible lunches, Sanja welcomed us with a smile, Danny's Princess Diana cocktails became a favorite tradition, and Ana kept our cabin spotless. Damir and Nikola worked tirelessly with the bikes, and our friendly captain added to the warm atmosphere. The ship was beautiful, comfortable, and more upscale than expected—a perfect place to relax after a day of cycling. What a beautiful, and in my opinion, the ONLY way to see really see Croatia!! 🚲🇭🇷❤️

Eat, Swim, Bike and Love it!

Sail Croatia created a magical experience for us on the clean and comfortable ‘Princeza Diana.’ Guides Lucy and Ivan made our cruise feel personal and professional with a keen sense of humor, local expertise and fun. The daily schedule was well organized with a nice mix of scheduled activities (biking, swimming, touring) and downtime. Chef Marko created amazingly delicious multi-course meals that were loved by all. The entire staff was pleasant, polite and hard-working. Bikes were in excellent condition and fun to ride.

We felt so lucky to have Ivan and Lucy as our guides because they worked so well together to make the cruise and the cycling so special. They truly cared for everyone on board and made sure that we stayed safe while e-biking through so many beautiful destinations along the Dalmatian Coast. It seemed like every turn provided another picture perfect view! We were also pleasantly surprised by the delicious breakfast and three course lunches on board the ship. The Chef and the staff provided great meals and service, but we also were happy to enjoy dinner in port and experience the hospitality of the Croatian people. This is a fabulous holiday for anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of Croatia while staying active with fun and like minded travelers.

This Sail Croatia trip was absolutely fabulous and the daily cycling adventures added an element that just makes the trip even better. The memories created and new friends will last a lifetime . The crew , the ship were all fab. A shoutout to Sanya on her first season - you were great. However the special teamwork shown by Lucija and Ivan made this trip 100% !

Cycling sail croatia

We have just completed cycling sail croatia week. A few recommendations for sail croatia to consider for upcoming trips, and for travellers who are considering this trip. If you are travelling as a couple you need to specify you want a double room. The food on the boat was very tasty however the orange juice in the morning could be greatly improved. They could also increase their variety of wines on board. Miranda our cycling leader was excellent and very supportive. Time spent in some of the villaages I felt was rushed, definitely wished we had a longer duration in Havar. If you enjoy an active holiday this is definitely one to consider as a way to see Croatia.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the cycling, found the food tasty, and that Miranda made such a positive impact on your trip. Regarding the bedding configuration, whilst we're unable to guarantee specific bed types on our Cycle Croatia cruises due to the varying layouts of our vessels, we absolutely welcome guests to let us know if they have a preferred bedding configuration. We do our best to accommodate these requests wherever possible; however, as ship allocations are finalised closer to departure and each vessel has its own unique cabin configuration, we are unable to guarantee them. This information is outlined on our website and within our booking information prior to travel. For guests seeking guaranteed bedding configurations, our Luxury Cycle cruises offer this option. We also appreciate your suggestions regarding the orange juice, wine selection, and the amount of time spent in some of the destinations. Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and we hope to welcome you back to Croatia in the future.

Holiday on the Princess Diana

This holiday exceeded my expectations. Staying on the boat was a luxury, the cabin was very well fitted out and it was great having air-conditioning. The staff on the boat were all very friendly and the food was very good., it was lovely being served local dishes too. Our guides were also very friendly and fun to be with. Our briefings at the start of each day were very helpful and on our cycle routes we discovered beautuful islands taking in some spectacular scenery in Croatia. . I was very impressed with the organisation of the whole trip, we were very well looked after.. We had plenty of time to relax, swim each day and do a little sightseeing too. I would definitely recommend this holiday.

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.

Absolutely loved. Would recommend to everyone. Great mix of activity, social, land stops, afternoon relaxing on boat, safety, and meals. Felt well looked after and guided on good routes. Food good. Husband said he thought the boat might have been more upmarket given what we paid. I happy but didn’t know what we paid (haha).

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

Active Scenic Vacation of Croatia

This was incredible-so much so that I intend to do it again! The scenery and history of the islands can only be experienced in person-pictures can’t begin to tell the story. We loved our bike rides each day-and on an e-bike we were able to enjoy the hills and the heat! We saw historic churches, fortresses, and UNESCO heritage sites in a peaceful and idyllic way. We ended with the city of Dubrovnik-which made us appreciate the quiet beauty of each island even more. The limestone buildings have been so well preserved, and biking through fields of olive groves and lavender gave us an up close view of life in Croatia. Swimming in the Adriatic Sea after a morning of biking was a great way to cool off before heading into a new historic village each night for dinner. Our guides Tonka and Tosha were integral in making sure we had a fun, safe, interesting and unique experience.

Great sailing biking holiday

Everything was well organised. We were advised of the days program in advance and given great advice. Guides were friendly, knowledgeable and looked after our safety. Meals were fabulous with 3 course lunches different every day. The boat was very clean and comfortable

Magical Experience

Can't decided what made this holiday so special. Was it? The beautiful boat, amazing food, excellent cycling routes, knowledgeable guides, friendly crew or were we just lucky to be with 28 fun holidaymakers that made us laugh from dawn to dusk. A holiday we will never forget. Thanks to all the crew on the Mali Luka and a specail mention to the captian who one morning presented me with a coffee on deck at 6.30 a.m while I was taking in the views. Calum and Srdan our guides, were always there to help, kept us updated, shared their knowledge and organised extra trips that enhanced our experience. We have already recommended Sail Croatia 🇭🇷 and will continue to do so. Thank you

Mali Luka sail/cycle Croatia

It was just fantastic. I think the main reason was the organisation and beauty of Croatia but I can hand on heart say that our tour guide Calum made it so that it went from great to excellent . He was truly amazing. What an asset he is to your company … he was interesting endearing articulate and just a fantastic guide I know that it’s his job to be knowledgable etc but he went above and beyond and was just amazing. The whole crew were fantastic as was Serdjen Calum was next level though. We had fun saw beauty and learnt about each place we visited -

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.

Great biking, disappointing cabin

Enjoyed the biking and guides. Crew was great.Views were spectacular. The cabin left a lot to be desired. Terrible mattress, bathroom was a mess, couldn’t shower without wetting the whole room, AC was subpar.. The food was mostly good, with several poor mains and sides. fruit cocktail from a can should not be served for dessert. drink prices on board were extremely high, five euros for a small Coke..

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.

- Alisa, 23/06/2026 21:03, Travelled with Family

Excellent holiday

A really enjoyable all round holiday experience . our sail croatia guides Tonka and Callum , set the bar high with fabulous well chosen locations and clear explanations on hazards to look out for, sights to see and stops for the best ice cream, coffee, swimming or my favourite; ‘story time . Which was a joint effort by both guides to relay useful historical or geographical information . We had a super group of guests and the crew of the boat were helpful, The Boat Captain and our SC guides used their local knowledge to alter our harbour destination due to changing sea conditions. On day 3 a storm hit us in the calmest of harbours, and apart from strong wind through the port hole we slept and awoke for breakfast. We cycled a different route and all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It takes quiet skill and knowledge and years of working with locals to select the best positions in the harbour. Ours was a real holiday , exercise, sunshine, friends, good food, lovely staff. Thank you.

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!

Adventures with Jay and Bry

We had a wonderful time with a wonderful crew and guides. We were a small group which only made it more special. Tonka and Callum were amazing and we loved all of their story times, where we learned do much about Croatia and the unique Dalmatian islands. Every island was different as was every ride, all enjoyed thoroughly. This was the first time we have done a trip like this , as we have always done all of our planning ourselves. It was nice to put those details in such capable hands. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

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.

No words can describe how amazing this trip was. Everything was wonderful. The rides were breathtaking. The bikes were top notch. The crew onboard were kind, professional and attended to all our needs. The food was incredible and the attention to detail and presentation did not go unnoticed. Our guides, Matilda and Miranda were incredible. They navigated our cycles with expertise , explaining each ride and keeping safety at the forefront. Matilda had great stories for us on about all the places we visited. Cannot recommend this trip enough.

Amazing 5 Star Croatian Guides - Marin & Johnny!

Wonderful, beautiful scenery ! Marin & Johnny were the perfect pair and excellent guides delivering 5/5 stars! Marin's historical knowledge was impressive; he was a mine of information and great local recommendations, he really took care of everyone! Johnny gave us the best restaurant recommendations or tips of where to go. Some of the bike rides took us up very steep hills and windy roads close to the cliff edges and while the views were beautiful I'm scared of heights, but luckily Johnny was there to support and kindly encourage me down, he was lovely! Kerim our bartender was very attentive & our food was good! Our ship was immaculate but it was older so while we had an upper cabin our bed was positioned up against the wall so I had crawl over the bed to get to my side. It wasn't the end of the world but we felt like we were camping :) which is why I am giving this review 4 stars! I'd highly recommend this trip, all the islands we visited were amazing and we loved Croatia!

Simply amazing

We had a wonderful time on the Mali Luka with Josko and Calum. They ensured our safety and took us on some of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. The Mali Luka crew also took such great care of us and the good on the boat was delicious! We all wondered if we were gaining weight vs losing it with our rides the food was so good. All in all it was a perfect experience. I highly recommend this experience for anyone traveling to Croatia as it was simply amazing.

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.

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.

June 26 bike croatia

Fantastic, loved the island rides especially in quiet places. Amazing coastline and beautiful views. Great guides and staff. Things that need improvement . 1 needed softer mattress 2. A system to log guests on and off securely so no-one can get left behind. 3. Give all info before getting off to start riding to save confusion. 4. Do not rely on apps as not all can use mb phones when traveling & riding. 5. Self serve Tea and coffee should be available free to guests.6. Meals do not need to be so formal or take up so much time. 7. Bikes need bells for safety and small panier bags to carry items securely.

Outstanding cycling in Croatia

We really enjoyed our recent cycling trip with Sail Croatia. We cycled during the mornings which were cooler. And a daily swim in the beautiful Adriatic Sea was a nice, welcome complement to the cycling. We particularly appreciated how attentive our guides, Marin and Natasa, were. They ensured that all cyclists stayed together, were safe on the roads and knew how to operate their ebikes safely. In addition, they provided the group with a fairly detailed description of the day’s ride as well as some history of the area. Marin and Natasa were very welcoming and engaging hosts. We have already recommended this trip to friends!

We enjoyed the bike rides, the sceneries were beautiful. The e-bikes worked very well. The group was a bit too large, a bit squeezed on the boat. The meals were excellent but we would have liked at time more buffet or picnic type of meal. We enjoyed a lot swimming from the boat, the Adriatic sea is so beautiful . Our guides, Marin and Martin, were excellent. They cared a lot for the security and were extremely knowledgeable, very pleasant peuple, I recommend them to all the groups.

Exceptional Guides

Our guides were amazing. Crew brilliant. Costs such as port taxes and park fees were a bit of a surprise. Cabin was on the lower deck and was really damp even with the door left ajar. We were not allowed to open the portholes overnight whilst docked. Double bed was way too high to get in and out of comfortably.

- Anonymous, 03/06/2026 19:14, Travelled in a Couple

Awesome adventures with the guides

It was great overall. Some of the things outside of the biking was that things like port taxes and park fees were not included in the costs. The cabins were also quite damp below deck and our bed you nearly had to take a run and jump to get into it as it was really high. Not great for an older couple.

Amazing trip

This trip was incredible from start to finish. So well organised from start to finish, the boat staff were very friendly and obliging, the guides were a delight, the onboard food was delicious and the upstairs cabin was cosy but comfortable. It helped that the weather was perfect every single day. The e-bikes were a joy to ride - even the uphill parts were a breeze. We rode mostly on public roads so you do have to be a bit careful but there isn’t a lot of traffic. The guides always gave excellent briefings to make sure we were prepared for the day. The scenery, the colour of the water and the towns were so beautiful that it is hard to believe it is real. Handy tip - you will need a lot of cash (though there are ATMs everywhere) plus the drinks onboard are relatively expensive. Apart from that, it was an amazing trip and I was so sorry when it ended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our days cycling around the islands. Our guides Marin and Martin were superb! The ship however needs some work. The room was not very clean as well as the ship. The room we were given was right next to the engine which awoke us each morning and also smelt of exhaust.The captain was very nice but his staff seemed uninterested in their jobs and did a lot of sitting around (while the ship needed) cleaning.) The food was not very good.

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.

premier biking Croatia

We had a lovely time on our Sail Croatia Bike Cruise. I will recommend but with these suggestions. The food on our ship was not great. Edible but poorer quality than I expected. The crew tended to be quite surly and mostly smoked or were on their phones. Our guides were phenomenal and did a fantastic job. They really made the trip. The bikes (we all had e-bikes) were very good quality and easy to use. The scenery was fantastic and luckily we had a large (33 passengers) group but everyone was great and got along well. I would strongly suggest upgrading to premier plus or looking at a higher quality company if good food and a nice ship are important to you.

Further feedback

I filled the quick review onboard but understood there would be a more thorough evaluation of our trip. The biggest concern I had was the food. It was not up to standard. You should hire qualified trained chefs. Thousand island salad dressing was over poured on all salads. White bread for the most part. Not alot of citrus fruit. Overcooked tuna at captains dinner and appetizer unappealing. The captain wore a sweatshirt at the captains dinner. You couldn’t order a glass of wine you needed to buy a bottle. .

Cabins are sparsely furnished but clean and functional- not a lot of cupboard space so pack a bag that can be opened and accessed from under bed. Comfy bed & cotton bedding. Clean cosy en-suite bathroom. Meals on board plentiful with drinking water available whilst galley open and fruit bowl. Complementary tea and coffee would have been nice. Bikes and cycling was great. Many using e-bikes which were good in the heat & on steeper climbs. Swim stops scheduled for most days. 3 course lunch on board after cycling was a great time to informally chat with other guests. Our guides Ivica and Sassa were next to none with helpful info about the route, local history and things to see, do and eat after The daily ride. We travelled around many islands and mainland small towns during the week as well as the cycling so this type of holiday is just The perfect way to see & experience Croatia.

Life changing

This bike sail was recommended by my sister who did it two years ago. We are by no means active at home but wanted to challenge ourselves by doing something active and adventurous. I can seriously say this was one of the best experiences I have ever had. The guides Marin and Olja were just exceptional. They looked after the group like we were precious cargo. The bike rides were amazing, exhilarating and great fun. We chose e-bikes as did most of the group and there was a wide range of experience from very little to very experienced cyclists but we had no problems keeping up. We really enjoyed being part of a group. We got on so well and have made many new friends. I have come home renewed with enthusiasm to get more exercise and have now bought an e bike. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. It is not luxury but it is great fun and loads of adventure

A fabulous adventure

We highly recommend this trip. It is superbly well organised, the guides and crew were lovely and the boat was fine. The islands that we rode through were so beautiful and interesting. The bikes were sturdy and reliable and well serviced. I needed a smaller bike because I’m small and that was provided easily. All good. Lots of happy memories. Do it!

Did not meet expectations

The cycling itself was great! The island cycling routes are challenging (in a good way) with so many epic views. The ship and (some) crew, however, fell short of expectations. The Dionis boat was old and a bad experience from the start, especially compared to the other boats for the same price (which you walk through & see what you are missing out on). I feel ripped off. Even sail Croatia staff commented on Dionis being the worst! A leaking roof in my cabin, leaking shower, significant slant in my room so my head was lower than my feet in bed, uncomfortable common areas compared to other boats. Very basic, not like in the pictures on the website. Some crew members were not very engaging…seemed like they didn’t want to be there. No help offered with carrying luggage across multiple ships on arrival. Had to ask multiple times for things like a room key for example, or to have the chirping smoked detector fixed. The single supplement fee is outrageous. the food is plentiful but just ok.

Dizare, Sales Rep at Sail Croatia replied 2026-05-28:

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the cycling routes and the incredible scenery - this is such a key part of the experience, so it’s great to know this aspect delivered. We’re sad to hear that elements of your onboard experience did not meet expectations. Having reviewed feedback from all travellers on your departure, the ship received an average score of 4.58 out of 5, so it’s disappointing to hear that your personal experience fell short of this, and of what you were expecting from your trip. Dionis is part of our Premier ship category, which offers a comfortable and sociable cruising experience, and we’re sorry to hear that aspects such as your cabin and onboard service did not reflect this for you. Your comments regarding maintenance, comfort, and crew engagement have been shared with our operations team so they can be reviewed directly. I can see at the time of enquiry you requested a Single Supplement to ensure you had a private cabin to yourself, rather than sharing with another guest. With regards to the Single Supplement, this is set at 50% of the per person price across the industry, as cabins are designed to accommodate two guests, and the supplement reflects sole occupancy of that space. For guests seeking a more spacious onboard environment, larger cabins, and additional onboard features, we do offer our Premier Plus ship range on our Cycle Croatia cruises, which may be a better fit depending on preferences and of course budget. Thank you again for your feedback, and we’re glad you were still able to enjoy the cycling and the stunning Croatian islands.

Note of appreciation

We would like to express our sincere appreciation for the outstanding work done by the crew of the Emmanuel during our experience aboard the boat. We would especially like to highlight the exceptional work of the two guides. They were always ready to help, highly professional, and at the same time very personable and approachable. Their dedication truly went above and beyond our expectations and made our experience even more memorable. We would also like to recognize the excellent work of our guide, Marine. Hi extraordinary knowledge of the history of his country and his unique way of sharing it with us were truly remarkable. At times, we felt as though we were attending a fascinating history class. His passion was evident in every explanation, and it greatly enriched our journey. Please extend our gratitude to the entire team for making this such a wonderful experience. Kind regards, Valerie LeBel Roger Pelletier

Croatian island cycling

I would recomend Sail Croatia as an amazing way to see the beautiful islands. Our cycling guides Marin and Johnny were great, providing support and informative facts throughout the trip, with our safety as a priority. The staff on the Emmanuel looked after us very well, excellent food and very clean cabins. My only disappointment was the uncomfortable mattress.

My 2026 Sail & Cycle Tour

My sister in law and I had the best experience on our Sail & Cycle Croatia tour. Our holiday began in Split. As we sailed along the coast to various ports, we cycled to cover more ground. I give this company my 5 star rating for the dynamic time we spent on board and in every port. Thanks to our Dionis crew, I highly recommend Sail Croatia for your next adventure. Zivjeli!

- Annabelle Haas, 21/05/2026 13:52, Travelled with Family

Great trip

I had a great time. Guides were outstanding (Josko and Lauren). I felt safe in their hands. Itinerary: I would have preferred more kilometers The bikes were basic and minimal. I expected better quality, especially the non E-bikes. The boat was fine. I did not need anything fancier. More than adequate The food was good but often overcooked. (The captain was a great pilot, he has no business interfering in the kitchen) Portions too big; buffet style may be better. I appreciated breakfast as I could serve myself and the variety was perfect. The portions at lunch were way too big. I dont like wasting food. The staff were courteous, friendly and helpful. Consider other drinks at the bar (juice, lemonade…)

Absolutely fantastic

My husband and I were a little concerned as we hadn't ridden a bike for many years and we are both in our early 60's. We are fit and healthy and adventurous. We were also concerned we may be the eldest in the group and didnt want to hold anyone up on the bike rides. We loved it. The E bikes made it so easy. The guides were fantastic.and just so great at their jobs. We rode everyday and are now going to book another E bike tour. we are hooked. All the other guests were around our age and we all had a ball. The food was excellent. The rooms were great and the beds comfortable each with our own ensuites. The only down side was the alcohol on board was very expensive and you cant take any on board.

joska and Lauren were fabulous and the crew of Dionis. there were some blips but they sorted it out. the bikes had issues and i would suggest not using that supplier agsin

BEST TIME EVER !!!!

I absolutely LOVED this trip the guides were amazing with fun facts on each island we visited and there biking knowledge made me feel at ease at every junction. The boat crew was so kind and everyone worked so hard to make sure our trip was just perfect. Each island was unique in its own way . It was a magical experience !!!!!

- Noralee, 18/05/2026 14:13, Travelled with Family

Croatia’s Best

It was a great experience. The scenery was outstanding - every island had so much to offer. The guides Miran and Johhny were awesome. They kept the group safe and we learned a lot about the history of each island and Croatia in general. They treated everyone like family. The ship, Emanuel, was great- rooms were good, sun deck on the top is nice. We were fed well- breakfast and lunch every day. I enjoyed the authentic Croatian cuisine at lunch. The cooks made outstanding meals.

- Monica, 18/05/2026 10:12, Travelled in a Couple

Great way to stay active and see Croatia

We had a wonderful experience meeting new friends and cycling across the islands. We had e-bikes which made the cycling easier because the hills are big. Our food on the Mali Luka was exceptional. The crew was great! Lots of fun!

- Christine, 18/05/2026 06:35, Travelled in a Couple

Great bicycle/boat tour

Fabulous holiday!! Our 2 guides Tonka and Elena were very professional, experienced, kind and fun. The breakfasts and lunches were very good, and I appreciated the availability of fresh fruit every day. We thoroughly enjoyed the locations of scenic islands that we biked through and mainland Croatia too. It was a great experience. Thank you.

A wonderful adventure that exceeded expectations

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

Sail and Cycle tour

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

Our week on Princeza Diana

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!!

Living in a Postcard

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!

- MaryBeth, 12/05/2026 10:50, Travelled in a Couple

I will be back!!!!

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

Fantastic trip! Would recommend.

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.

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!

Bike and ride

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.

Great time on the Sail and Cycle

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

e-bikes and new friends

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.

Best trip ever!

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! 🍷😁

Best way to see Croatia!

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

A totally awesome vacation

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

Perfection from Sail Croatia !

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 !!!

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

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.

Amazing guides, crew, and experience

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

Wow!

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

Great Trip!

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.

Sail Croatia Sail & Cycle Tour

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.

Best trip!

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

Beautiful Croatia by bike and boat Dubrovnik to Split

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.

Sail Croatia bike tour

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.

Best vacation

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.

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.

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.

Fantastic Experience

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!

Exceeded all our expectations

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

It was an ok cruise.

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.

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.

Fantastc active holiday!

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.

Phenomenal trip

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

Fabulous holiday

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.

EOS Sept 17-24th

The staff and guides were lovely and kind. The wait staff Valentina and Lucy were so friendly and obliging. It was a pleasure to talk with them. The guides Toni and Andre were fun and informative and it was nice that they sat and ate with the guests.

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

What an amazing trip.

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

Great trip

The cycling guides were great and very informative. The islands visited were beautiful and steeped in history. The staff were attentive and met all our needs, very hard working. Kudos to all the staff.

- Lori, 26/09/2025 15:48, Travelled in a Couple

Overall a great experience

Great staff. Bike routes well laid out and planned with interesting stops for swimming and cafes to get a delicious cup of coffee. Bikes were well maintained and very easy to ride. Any problems that did arise were handled quickly. Breakfast was great with a nice variety of food to choose from. Coffee not so good, needs improvement. Could purchase cappuccino on board which was good. Lunch definitely needs improvement. Most times it was cold. Soup was watery. Desserts were delicious. No on board safety protocols. We didn’t realize until third day into trip that life vests were under our bed. I would definitely recommend this trip.

- Henny, 26/09/2025 09:24, Travelled with Family

Split to Dubrovnik cycling cruise

Our guides, Marin and Josip, were outstanding! They provided detailed information about each day's cycling route and the history about each island we visited. They were always available to answer any questions/address any concerns. Both guys were so passionate about their job, and they had such a great sense of humor. In addition, the rest of the crew was fabulous, also. We mainly interacted with Bruno, the bartender, dining room host, and server. He also did an outstanding job taking care of all of us. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for an active vacation!

Fabulous 50th birthday for my sister

Our guides Marin & Josip were fabulous and accommodated our every need. They cared deeply that we enjoyed our experience and made every day fun.

- Michaela, 24/09/2025 09:05, Travelled with Family

Would recommend to everyone

Loved the experience - beautiful scenery and weather - a great way to see many little towns in various islands, the right amount of biking and relaxing time and our guides Marin and Josip were friendly, patient, helpful and knowledgeable.

- Wendy, 24/09/2025 05:25, Travelled with Family

Great staff, cycling, and food!

My family and I, all adults, enjoyed a fabulous time aboard the Mali Ante just recently during the week of September 13 - 20th, 2025. The captain and his crew took exceptional care of us throughout the week. Ivica and Sasa were our terrific personable and gracious cycling and social convenors. The chef made delicious meals and offered non-meat food options for me, Mario provided excellent service in the dining room and salon. I can't thank them all enough for providing an incredible sailing and cycling adventure for us all! I hope to return for another trip with Sail Croatia and would love to see this crew again!

BEYOND EXPECTATIONS

We enjoyed our experience on this cycle cruise. The small ship of 32 passengers made for a warm friendly gathering where strangers quickly became friends. The crew was attentive and the food was great and very abundant. No one will go hungry on this cruise. A special shout out to our Sail Croatia guides DORA and LOLA. Dora was super human and led the group up the hills without breaking a sweat. Sweet Lola was the sweeper making sure everyone was safe and gave interesting history at our stops. I rate them 5 out of 5 stars. I would recommend this adventure to anyone who enjoys cycling. Note - I am just a recreational rider and didn’t feel overwhelmed on an e-bike. Classic cyclers will find this to be more challenging on Split to Split Soutern route. A trip that will be a lifetime memory.

- Patty, 23/09/2025 06:16, Travelled in a Couple

Wonderful Active Vacation

Lola and Dora were our guides. They complimented each other so well and made the week a lot of fun for us! Very friendly and informative guides with a good sense of humour! Cycling the islands allowed us to see so much! Loved everything about this trip. My only suggestion…perhaps a smaller group would be better .

Sail Croatia Sep. 2025

Our guides & beautiful islands on our bike & sail.

- Anonymous, 22/09/2025 19:39, Travelled in a Couple

Friendly Beautiful Cycling Adventure

Our cycling and Croatia storytelling leaders (Miranda and Borna) were extremely passionate, positive and personable with each of us on the ship. They had a wonderful touch to make us enjoy each day - from challenging cycling to amazing views and recommendations on what to visit in each island. They worked collaboratively with the ship crew and the crew mutually so with them and us on the ship - thanks also to Marco, the sailing crew and amazing chef and cooks in the cuisine. I would consider doing this again and recommending this to my friends.

- Christine, 22/09/2025 14:47, Travelled in a Couple

An amazing experience with fabulous crew/guides!

We visited some amazing places around Croatia on the sail cycle cruise! Everything was perfect! From delicious meals, great service and perfect coordination of bikes on and off the boat. The guides were truely outstanding and informative. They were flexible and accommodated to everyone’s needs. They were fun, easy going and became our good friends! Thank you again for a fabulous trip that we will always remember!

- Bev, 22/09/2025 13:44, Travelled with Family

Best experience with the loviest people

The amazing crew members on the boat mali ante, and the fabulous guides Sasa and Ivica who made the experience incredibly informative and fun.

- Ellie, 22/09/2025 13:36, Travelled with Family

Uber Awesome!

They were very personal and I love that Sasa touched my shoulder with care when he spoke to me. Such kind mannerisms.. They were really informative and fun. I’m going to go for 2027 and I want them to be my leaders!

- Sue, 22/09/2025 12:52, Travelled with Family

Best chef ever

The meals on the ship were the best I have ever had. Every day the lunch or dinner was outstanding. The crew was great and I would give them 5 stars. However, information from the guides about possible activities in the towns often wasn’t sent to me in time to do anything with the information, We also needed more help from them than we received in arranging our transportation extremely early on the morning of departure.

- Phyllis , 22/09/2025 11:17, Travelled in a Couple

Une semaine inoubliable !

La combinaison vélo, baignade, navigation était très agréable. Nos sorties à vélo ont été un pur plaisir grâce à nos guides et à nos vélos électriques.

- Carole, 22/09/2025 11:05, Travelled in a Couple

Wonderful Trip

Our Sail Croatia cycle cruise was fantastic! Every day a beautiful ride, beautiful scenery and learning and laughter with the two best guides you could ever hope for - Dora and Lola the “Dynamic Duo”! These ladies took great care of us and made us feel like a team. Our group bonded very well and Lola and Dora were a big part of that. The ship crew was also great dealing with food and bar service, moving bikes every day, Dimur constantly cleaning and caring for the ship and the captain’s steady hand. All in all, one of the best things we’ve ever done. Croatia is beautiful!

- Wendy, 22/09/2025 07:53, Travelled in a Couple

Bike and Boat

The Premier Plus ship was fabulous. Loved our large below deck cabin. The crew were amazing, food fabulous and our Biking Tour Guides, Dora and Lola, Awesome. Sail Croatia managed to create a guest list on the Princeza Diana that just ‘worked’ from Day 1. We all commented on how well we all seemed to ‘fit’. We enjoyed each other’s company from Day 1. We highly recommend this cruise - Go Premier Plus!!

- Kathy , 22/09/2025 06:28, Travelled in a Couple
