We had a brilliant time. The trip was very well organised by both crew and guides. I am recommending to my friends and family

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!

Great way to see the islands !

Very well organised from start to finish. Daily briefings, amazing rides (v easy on electric bike) and plenty of tasty food ! Cabins were quite basic but were en suite and had air-con. Plenty of time to sunbathe on deck or visit the islands. Some extra excursions and meals organised for those who wanted to but no pressure to go. All the staff were great esp our group leader Calum (& Srdan) - who had a great knowledge of the Croatian history as well as sorting any issues out throughout the week such as food preferences and general recommendations. Average age was around 60 on the boat (the Mali Luka) with a lovely bunch mainly from USA and Australia and NZ. Busy week as up early but a great way to explore the lovely islands. Water so clean and refreshing. All the towns well kept. Pebble beaches (not sand). We did Split to Dubrovnik route then had a couple of nights in hotel in Lapad (Dub) to relax. Thanks Sail Croatia for a memorable trip !

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.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you found our crew to be appropriate, and we appreciate your comments on the overall experience. As our vessels operate within busy working harbours, daily schedules can vary depending on port availability, harbour authority requirements, and operational considerations. While this can occasionally impact time in port or swimming opportunities, these decisions are made to ensure the smooth and safe operation of each cruise. 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. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you on board again in the future.

The Best!

It is hard to imagine how our week on the Emanuel could have been any better. Miranda's leadership and Oola's kindness were a dynamic duo that allowed for memories of a lifetime. The crew was professional, courteous in every way. If you are looking for a holiday that combines activity, exercise, and a taste of the local Croatian culture, Sail Croatia is your best bet.

Miranda and Olja Are Awesome

Great time riding with Miranda, Olja and a whole new group of friends. I could keep rinsing and repeating every day.

Fantastic. Boat food was middle to good but not outstanding. Trip was overall fantastic.

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

Split Boat and cycle trip

The boat, cabins, bikes, crew and guides were fantastic. We had a friendly social-able group. The rides and destination's were well planned with a well earned swim after most rides. Would recommend e bikes mainly to help deal with the heat. The crew and guides were all very help full with lots of local knowledge

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.

Fantastic holiday

We had a superb holiday seeing the islands and making new friends. I cycle a lot and came with my wife who used an e-bike. The group catered for all levels with a very sensible first day around Mljet national park. Our reps of Ivan and Lucija were fantastic going the extra mile when needed anfpd were always helpful.

Cycling adventure with new friends

Firstly our crew and tour guides were the best I have experienced. The mix of passengers was great and we all got along with no issues and I have never had so much fun and laughed so much. Became close friends with many and enjoyed everyones stories of where they have been and where we hope to head. Our Captain was a man you wouldnt argue with if you first met him as he looked like a Croatian Pro wrestler, but what a gentle funny man.. our guides Cal and Ja were patient, informative and cared for our safety at all times. Loved the stories and legends. In summary the best tour

- Brett, 26/06/2026 06:40, Travelled in a Couple

Well organized

The trip was well organized however the app made it difficult to determine the planned daily distances, leaving me to retrieve information from previously emailed tour notes. Be great to have it all in one place.

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.

Bestest holiday eva!

tbh, I wasn't really sure what to expect as we've never booked an organised tour before, or anything boat related. But having spent a week on the Mali Luka, I would say this has been one of the most enjoyable & easy holidays I've had (even with a few days of cycling in the midday sun)! Our guides, Callum and Josko, were absolutely fantastic and made the whole trip a delight. All the crew were excellent and the boat is gorgeous - it really felt like home. Waking up every morning to a stunning new seascape or rustic town was fantastic and the weather over late May was perfect. Have gained nearly 2kg from the delicious breakfasts and lunches! Luckily the cycling offset what could have been an extra 3kg. Also, love that Walnut Liqueur - though as Mateo said to me one morning after the night before - "it is the silent killer". Couldn't think of a better way to go!

Epic Cycling Sailing Split Adventure

Fantastic journey. Great island hopping adventure. Cycling was interesting and challenging. Food was great. Boat so good and comfortable. Guides friendly and know

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.

- Wayne, 19/06/2026 21:51, Travelled with Friend/s

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

- Steve, 18/06/2026 10:49, Travelled with Friend/s

Excellent fun

Great weather, great crew, good that they adapted to suit the weather and the group’s abilities. Everyone had e-bikes, which helped keep the group together, as there is only one lead and one tail guide. We were fortunate that there was a fairly small group, though some bikers were quite inexperienced. Saw some fantastic bays and harbours, and good swims (it was HOT despite being early June). Very enjoyable. Very happy that we had air on. Boat was very well equipped. Only comments are that after long rides, 3 course lunch was very late, a packed lunch might be better option. Also, for experienced bikers, a self guided gps option might be preferable. But still, great group, great guides, 5 stars!

Amazing adventure on the Adriatic

Sail Croatia met my expectations and then some. The staff was amazing, courteous, trustworthy, and fun. Our guides, Ivica and Ante., we’re completely professional and kept all of us safe and informed.. I would come back to this again. Thank you, Sail Croatia.

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.

Cycle/Sail Croatia the BEST!

This experience was certainly memorable! The only Aussies with 17 Americans and 6 Canadians. We loved every minute!!! Marin & Josip were great even if Josip was quite unwell! In love with Croatia! Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi oi oi!!!🇦🇺👏🏽😘

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

- Ron, 15/06/2026 15:39, Travelled with Friend/s

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

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!!

A great Trip with great company

We had an excellent trip from Split North (cycling cruise, it was well organised. The crew were excellent and the Tour managers Tonka and Lucija were outstanding. The biking was easy and manageble by all (exspecially if on a E bike). Plenty of swimming stops in warm and clear water. There were so many highlights, Split, Krka National park, Zadar and many small islands and delightful villages. I recommend this trip.

Lost in Dalmatia

Great 7 days on board Columbo visiting and cycling a beautiful selection of islands including Hvar, Vis, Korčula, Mljet and Sipan. Always felt we were in safe hands with our calm leader Ivaniča and ever smiling guide Olja.

Beautiful Sailing and Biking in Croatia

We would like to give a big thanks to Sail Croatia and to our 2 guides— Tonka and Lucija who took very good care of us while we were boating and cycling on the Sail Croatia Split Return Northern trip. Their professionalism, mixed with an easygoing, approachable manner, made for a wonderful vacation that had us feeling in good hands cycling through unfamiliar roads. During stops along the routes, we would take in the stunning scenery and be told stories about the Croatian culture and its rich history, which just added to the enjoyment factor. My wife and I have been on a few cycling tours and would rate this as one of the best— thanks to Tonka and Lucija and the crew of the “Mali Ante”.

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.

- Anonymous, 08/06/2026 04:18, Travelled Solo

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!

- Matthew, 07/06/2026 14:20, Travelled with Friend/s

As wonderful as we had hoped!

Our bike and boat tour was fantastic….we will definitely recommend Sail Croatia to friends. We loved the ship, the crew, our cabin (above deck), and the daily itinerary. We booked the trip with a large group of friends and the other guests on the boat were lovely to travel with as well. Great food, coffee, drinks, islands, sight-seeing and cycling! Only 6 of us on the ship chose non-electric bikes, so the hilly terrain was challenging and rewarding for us….but hard-core riders love that anyway! And the e-bikers had a great time too, with options of course on how much pedal-assist they needed/wanted. Our tour guides Calum and Jasko were superb! Fun, knowledgeable, entertaining and flexible. And the entire crew of the Mali Luka was superb. Bravo!

- Paul, 05/06/2026 10:31, Travelled in a Couple

More Than Just a Cycling Tour

An outstanding experience from start to finish. The Mali Luka was comfortable and well run, the crew was friendly and attentive, and our guide, Jay, did an excellent job balancing cycling, local history, and fun. The routes were challenging but rewarding, with spectacular scenery, great food, beautiful islands, and plenty of opportunities to swim, relax, and explore. Highly recommended.
