Perfect way to see the Islands not left not right just straight on.

Loved it, Tonka, Natasa Tony were great in getting us (me) up the hills it’s been a while since I pushed myself that hard and good to know my head can still rule the rest of me. The whole crew were great and went above and beyond; hope to do again soon. Thank you Peter for the bar, the beer at lunch after day two’s ride is one of my favourites of all time!

Meh

Varying (hour by hour) ship schedule made it difficult to fully plan/enjoy. Schedule was blamed on docking constraints which were not immediately apparent unless line was saving on fees. Lack of opportunities to swim off ship was also disappointing. Coffee/tea should’ve been available free during all waking hours. More pillows desperately needed. Staff was appropriate.

We also appreciate your suggestions regarding the availability of complimentary tea and coffee, additional pillows, and swimming stops. Guest feedback such as yours is valuable, and we'll be sure to share your comments with the relevant teams as we continue to review and enhance our onboard experience.

A perfect adventure/active trip

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

Lifetime experience

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

The Best Way to Experience Croatia

Exploring four islands, one peninsula, and two mainland stops while visiting more than 20 towns made this an unforgettable adventure. We cycled over 120 miles (193 km), walked countless steps, and experienced Croatia in a way that simply isn't possible by car or bus. It exceeded every expectation and is, without a doubt, the best way to discover this beautiful country. Our guides, Miranda and Matilda, were exceptional. They kept everything organized, safe, and enjoyable while sharing local history, culture, and stories that gave us a much deeper appreciation for Croatia. The crew aboard the Princeza Diana was outstanding. They were friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the trip, and the meals were consistently delicious. Five stars hardly seem like enough. Thank you, Sail Croatia, for an incredible week and memories that will last a lifetime. I would recommend this trip to anyone looking for an active, immersive, and unforgettable way to experience Croatia.

Incredible bike / boating trip to the South Dalmatian Islands

My trip to Croatia was incredible.! Lucie and Ivan were our tour guides on the Dionis, and they made the trip terrific. They were very fun, knowledgeable, and patient with us and really helped bring our group together. In addition to guiding us, they helped with all sorts of odd requests from taking photos with views, recommending restaurants and making reservations, nearby laundry services, places to buy souvenirs, places to avoid, best gelato locations, etc. etc. I can't say enough about how they enhanced the experience. It was absolutely the trip of a life time. While I have tons of photos I wish I could share, I have added a couple that provide a sense of the typical day on the tour.

Sail and Cycle

Amazing way to see Croatia. Cycling was more than I could ask for. The guides kept us fully informed and in time. The food was prepared with care and tasted amazing. The cheesecake is the best I have ever tasted.

keep your head up

Our holiday was wonderful. our guides, Miranda and Matilda did a spectacular job, herding 30 kittens on bikes. Whether it was the view from the bikes or the view from the boats, that part of the world is beautiful and in some cases, untouched. The meals were made with care and perfect attention to produce from the local area. The cabins were spacious enough for 2 people with luggage and the beds were comfortable... a great way to spend a holiday

Sail Croatia Cycle review

Dalmatian Coast Wonderfulness!

Fabulous, fabulous, delightful, delovely, delicious! Marin and Josip our guides were the best; the crew and Ivan made it feel like home. Every venue and meal quintessential; a planning trip back now as it was the best trip ever.

Unspoiled island beauty

We had a wonderful adventure with Sail Croatia. Our boat was comfortable and clean and the crew went above and beyond to make our time special. Huge callout to Marin and Josip who were our guides. Very personable and knowledgeable. But for me the highlight was getting to immerse in the natural beauty of the islands. Seeing villages and a way of life that has managed to avoid the trappings of westernization is refreshing I highly recommend this boat and bike tour.

The Marin, Josip, and the crew made this trip…

We had a great time on our sail and cycle cruise thanks to Marin and Josip and our crew. Marin was our guide and Josip was our cycling guide and they were a great team-professional and very qualified yet warm and engaging. The support we received from these guys both on and off the bike was really amazing. I feel as though we got really lucky to have them assigned to our group. I took a star away because our boat-the Dionis-was very worn out. There were only 8 plastic loungers strewn about on the top deck and two were broken and there were 27 of us on board. We kept seeing other Sail Croatia boats with a full deck of chairs with cushions and I still can’t understand the disparity. Also, my husband and I ended up with a below deck cabin. It was dark, smelly, and very damp. Even the sheets at night were damp. I feel as though the trip could have been a perfect five stars if Sail Croatia had given more attention to the accommodations on the boat.

Ron Woynarski

Croatia is stunningly beautiful and the islands even more so.. But seeing this with Sail Croatia made it perfect. Miranda and Matilda were helpful, entertaining, informative and overall excellent. The trip would not have been the same without their attention to detail. Each day we were informed of the upcoming ride, and given interesting information about the route and the countryside. Although the entire crew were helpful and accommodating, I also want to give a shout out to Tea and Danny

Let the truth be told

The actual holiday was wonderful however the downside was overprice wine and beer with small portions and not very good wine Having to pay bar bill in cash was inconvenient and bad

- Dave Holden, 15/06/2026 14:17, Travelled with Friend/s

100% awesome !!

The whole trip was amazing - itinerary, food, ship - all fantastic ! Our guides Miranda and Matilda were extraordinary - we especially liked Matilda’s “story time” chats … outstanding knowledge of the history of the region and gave us great insight. Miranda was an amazing host who help with any questions we had - the pace of the rides were perfect. The rest of the staff… Denny, Tea, Damir were equally awesome —- 100% recommend the Cycle Tour Dubrovnik to Split - totally feel like we had the best Croatian holiday !!

- Dave, 15/06/2026 12:38, Travelled with Friend/s

Great trip

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

- Scott, 15/06/2026 08:53, Travelled Solo

Absolutely brilliant

What a good time. Sail Croatia did such a great job. Matilda and Miranda were amazing. We hadn’t done anything like this and it will be hard for another trip to meet these expectations.

Cycle cruise is the best way to see Croatia!

I cannot say enough just how much I enjoyed my time on the cycling cruise! It was such a great way to really see a lot of Croatia by e-bike in between the stops on the island towns. Being my first time on a boat for any extended period, I was a bit nervous how I’d like it, but the crew and the guides made it a fantastic experience all around! We were on board the Mali Luka and Captain Ivan and his crew were amazing. He and Ilija always made you feel safe and welcomed. The food by chef Josip was fantastic and you could not have found a kinder server than Mateo if you tried. They were always willing to go above and beyond if you needed anything at all. We lucked up because we had the absolute BEST guides you could ever ask for. Calum and Josko took us around on the bikes and always made sure we had the full itinerary and what to expect each day. They made sure we were always safe while on the islands all while having so much fun. I will plan to ask for both of them the next time I go!!

Exceptional Bike Boat Trip

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

Can not recommend to friends

The biking was amazing. Our cabin and ship were ok. The food was not good.

Amazing Trip!

This trip was so much fun. I went with a large group of friends which made it even more special, but I got to know most everyone on the boat and everyone was so nice. I originally picked a normal bike, but quickly switched to an e-bike as the routes were a little beyond my abilities. The switch was seamless. The tour guides (Callum and Josko) were absolutely the best. They were so great, I honestly hope we cross paths again someday. The boat crew for Mali Luka was amazing as well, and the food was on another level. EPIC trip!

Way beyond my expectations. The boat was very pleasant, but the real difference was our crew. They were attentive, professional, friendly and they were a true team. Our cycling guides truly were the best. Their energy, knowledge and style made for a very special and memorable experience. Already planning a return adventure.

Sail Croatia Split to Dubrovnik

Everyone in our group of eight had a fantastic holiday. Miranda & Natasha, our guides were so friendly & enthusiastic, always with a smile on their faces. The cycle routes were great too & the electric bikes meant the Croatian hills were easily dealt with. Princess Diana, our ship, was brilliant always kept immaculately clean & tidy by the captain & crew. The food was lovely & varied, always fresh ingredients & there was plenty of it! All in all a great holiday with nothing to fault.

A wonderful trip making memories with new friends

I travelled as a solo passenger but needn't have worried. From the offset it was the friendliest group of passengers, staff and crew i have ever met. The 2 Sail Croatia leaders, josko and Lauren , were outstanding and nothing was too much trouble, managing to change my picky carnivorous diet to a vegetarian one after 2 days. It was exactly the same with the crew of our boat, the "Dionis"- a very comfortable and ideally sized boat for the holiday- bigger boats around seemed too big and cold compared to the smaller boats. The excursions and cycle routes were absolutely ideal. Most of our 15 passengers opted for the E-bikes but 4 of us had the normal calf powered versions, which didn’t detract from the enjoyment. We had the chance to have a swim stop most days and after a chilly 10 minutes swim, the scorching onboard showers were a very pleasurable welcome experience. This was my first time as a solo traveller on a group trip but i now see it as the only way forward in future

- Simon, 18/05/2026 22:09, Travelled Solo

Exceptional

What can I say! This trip was beyond expectations! The Crew (Tea and Daniel ,Captain and crew guys) and Bike and Tour Guides (Ivac and Ana) could not be better. Food was exceptional (Thanks Chef and staff) ! They all cared about our experience!! We had a fun group of like travelers who cycled everyday! Weather was superb! Croatia is amazing!! Do this experience!

Not sure what you mean bybthis

The crew was just exceptional. Tonja & Elena were simply the very best guides you can have. The food prepared by Marco was better than any restaurant and he is so dedicated. The crew itself could not have done more to make this adventure absolutely perfect. The passengers were so overwhelmed by them we are still in communication with your team. Just the best…

The boat was lovely , but the crew and cycling tour guides are what made this trip. THEY WORKED HARD!!!!!!! Lifting the bikes everyday and still smiling. The guides were professional and very well informed about the area and were way better at English than we were at Croatian. The food was high quality, promptly served, and plentiful. I woud do the same all over again tomorrow.

Lucy & Ivan were the perfect hosts for this wonderful trip cycling on the islands between Dubrovnik and Split.

- Joe, 20/10/2025 13:54, Travelled with Friend/s

Best trip ever!

Everything made this trip! Starting with signing up with Sail Croatia.. My girl friends sister had done the trip last year. Being boaters and bikers. We made our decision to do it. It was far beyond my expectations! At first I was hesitant to do it as my travels have never included an organized tour. This trip I was proven wrong. The boat was the perfect size, spanking clean and organized, the crew and bike guides were beyond personable, friendly and professional, the food outstanding! By the end of the trip they all were like family. The group, a mixture from different countries, also became like family, many we will keep in touch with after this trip I do not say these words lightly,. I truly amazed myself with this admittance. I say again, I have never been a fan of tours nor large groups of unknown people. I have been on many world adventures but none quite like this one!

Sail and bike from Split to Dubrovnik

The crew, which is responsible for the sailing/transportation of our group from destination to destination, were very good - trying to avoid rough waters, offering good meals (always a breakfast and usually a lunch and the occasional dinner). The cycling component was handled by a lead that planned the routes. Our lead tried to anticipate the abilities of our group, as we had a few non-electric bikers, and I appreciated him factoring the weather, cycling ability, terrain, topography and the ships ability with regards to docking/port authority schedules. By the end of our trip we ended up cycling: distance and total accumulated altitude climb, exceeded most trips of the season.. I believe that accommodations could have been made if our group was either over or under challenged.. Overall cycling Croatia was a great experience for us. We got to see Croatia in a unique way safely guided and well hosted.

Awesome experience cruising/biking the Croatian Islands

We had an incredible time w 13 other couples, sailing and biking from Dubrovnik to Spilt. The crew and our bike guides are what set this apart. So amazing to hear their takes on the history of the region and their love of their country. We had a great set up for the other couples that we were traveling with to enjoy time as a big group and break off into smaller groups.
