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.
- Robyn, 07/10/2026 06:13, Travelled in a Couple
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.

Great trip
- Raymond, 07/10/2026 03:20, Travelled in a Couple
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.
- Janice, 06/10/2026 19:06, Travelled in a Couple
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!

We had such a wonderful time on the Princeza Diana for our one week biking tour. The boat interior was recently refurbished so it was very nice and well appointed throughout. The staff was great with specific shoutouts to our tour managers Ivica and Antonio (they could also have successful careers herding cats), the servers Sanja and Danny (so friendly, kind, and helpful), and chef Marko (the food was sensational). They each really made our trip memorable by going above and beyond in their respective areas. The fellow guests from varied areas were all terrific and everyone got along incredibly well. While a custom cruise for us would have had longer rides and shorter stops, we also heard people say they wanted longer stops or shorter rides so this was a perfect balance for all. Overall it is highly recommended with zero complaints and it exceeded our expectations in every way..
- Lance, 05/10/2026 12:51, Travelled in a Couple
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.
- Michelle, 05/10/2026 12:49, Travelled in a Couple
We thoroughly enjoy the whole experience! The boat was comfortable , friendly and efficient staff, great bikes and tour guides, and wonderful meals..
- Ksthy, 05/10/2026 11:38, Travelled in a Couple
Fantastic voyage through the many Islands of Croatia. The biking was super fun with exillerating climbs and spectacular views. Our crew aboard the Princess Diana was top notch. Absolutely no complaints.
- Steve, 05/10/2026 07:42, Travelled in a Couple
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
We enjoyed everything about this. Getting to see so many islands and villages on those islands was fantastic. At every port our "hotel" was steps from the village centre. The food was fantastic and everyone from the bike guides to the sailors and ship staff were friendly and very hard working. The bike portion was just right with a 2-3 hour easy ride every day then lots of time to explore each town. The transit from island to island was exciting. We saw dolphins and watching coming into each port was fun. The amount of area we were able to see with the bikes made our entire trip memorable. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone!
- Michael, 04/10/2026 22:50, Travelled in a Couple
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
- Kathy, 02/10/2026 18:04, Travelled in a Couple
Our e-bike experience and cruise aboard the Mali Ante exceeded our expectations. First off, the crew was amazing and first rate in their attentiveness and accommodation. The food was outstanding and I tip my hat to chef Kole and Tonya…. The tour guides Tony and Augustin made every ride a joy and insured we stopped at the best view points, providing history of the area and of course cafe rest stops. Safety was their priority and they took great care of us all. I highly recommend this tour.
- Art, 02/10/2026 14:42, Travelled in a Couple
The cycling guides and boat crew were outstanding. We had a wonderful week exploring the islands and coast of Croatia!
- Jeffrey, 02/10/2026 13:17, Travelled in a Couple
How holiday from Split to Dubrovnik cycling at various islands along the way was truely fantastic. The crew were all so helpful and friendly. The group leaders Andro and Sasa were really magnificent always there to help and support. They worked together really well and had excellent rapport. I would not hesitate in recommending this trip to others. Thank you Andro , Sasa and crew.
- Peter, 02/10/2026 12:21, Travelled in a Couple
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 !!!
- Kim, 02/10/2026 07:24, Travelled in a Couple
Exceeded my expectations. I loved that the boat wasn't too big. The bike guides were top notch. They were very knowledgeable and friendly. The bike rides were amazing.with spectacular views and the excursions were awesome
- Linda, 01/10/2026 19:21, Travelled Solo
We just had a week on Sail Croatia’s ship Columbus & a biking tour through a small sample of the stunning Dalmatian coasts islands. Although a little apprehensive to start, Marin & Lauren, our fantastic guides, settled us all right in. They shared a load of local knowledge & ensured our bike route was challenging in sections but safe & hugely enjoyable – absolutely recommend an e-bike. The scenery is stunning & photos don’t do it justice. Our group started as 32 strangers but quickly turned to 32 friends, with sooo many laughs. Along with the guides, the crew & chefs were amazing turning our great meals & looking after us along the way. The trip absolutely exceeded our expectations & would thoroughly recommend. Brendan & Suzanne

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.
- Anonymous, 30/09/2026 15:59, Travelled in a Couple
I had a great time on my Sail Croatia bicycle cruise. The rides were all very doable on the e-bikes for all levels of riders. You can make it challenging and taxing or let the bike do most of the work and enjoy the scenery. Staff were very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly and brought everyone together. The food was good and plentiful, and the boat was comfortable and clean. The rides allow you to visit and experience parts of the islands that you would never see on a standard cruise. From historical sites to out of the way cafes every day brought something new. I’m going to recommend this trip to all my friends, most of whom are seniors, as a must do.
- Buddy, 30/09/2026 14:56, Travelled Solo
Everything about the cruise and bike riding was five star. Two guides Mario and Natasha were also five star. Food was great although could have had more fish. Captain and boat crew were also great. Getting to know my fellow Canadians, Americans, Aussies and Irish was an hoot. Every one got along great and best part ZERO politics! Only complaint was our lower deck berth as it was very small and stuffy. I ended up coming down with a bad cold and the lower quarters likely made it worse. Book early and pay the up charge for a upper deck berth.
- Steve, 30/09/2026 09:15, Travelled in a Couple
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.

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
This holiday was wonderful. The crew were fabulous and our tour guides were amazing. There was a fun and friendly vibe amongst everyone from the get go. Avica and Diego were so knowledgeable about each of the islands and so made the rides easy for everybody as well as suggesting and organising great outings and meal options for the evenings on the islands. The whole week was so well organised and nothing was too much trouble for either the crew or tour managers. This holiday was a great balance between activity, relaxation and sightseeing.
- Anonymous, 28/09/2026 14:40, Travelled Solo
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
What an amazing week we had. From our awesome tour guides Sasha & Callum, who were so knowledgeable, friendly and organised, to the hard working crew - all of whom made the experience one we’ll never forget. Will be recommending to all our friends!

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
Captain Antonio and his crew of Columbo kept us safe as we navigated between ports and unloaded/loaded bikes. The tuna steak for the Captain’s dinner was fantastic! The views were outstanding. Lauren and Marin were excellent, they kept us safe on the roads and gave us a good idea of what to expect each day and gave us Croatian history lessons - each island was unique and special. Lauren gave us a wide variety of things to do and places to eat on each one. Thanks to Yakov for his great service at the bar - cheers! Special thanks to Mike for his leadership 😀 The highlight of the week was all of our fellow bikers. We had an awesome group that was fun to get to know and enjoy some meals, drinks, swims, and rides. Special shout out to our own Karaoke night and especially Alice and the other new songs! The meals were really good, and they went above and beyond for gluten free pescatarian. The accommodations worked well for us, didn’t spend much time in our cabin except to shower/sleep.

We had a fantastic time on our Sail Croatia cycling tour from Split to Dubrovnic. Our guides, Lauren, Marin and the entire crew made our cycling tour in Croatia an incredible experience! Special thanks to Lauren and Marin for keeping us safe and comfortable on the rides while making each day special with our daily island "storytime with Lauren" as Marin proudly shared his extensive knowledge of the islands and history of Croatia. Their suggestions for things to do and dining options were greatly appreciated. We’ll have wonderful memories of Croatia and this amazing adventure for years to come!

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
We did seven nights with sail Croatia on a premium ship - which isn’t really premium. The crew and guides were amazing and the cycling really enjoyable. For the price the boat and the food were not of a standard you would rate anywhere near premium. It’s a great experience but if you’re a couple or a little older (over 50) this probably won’t be what you’re expecting.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you found our crew and guides amazing, enjoyed the cycling and felt it was a great overall experience. We would like to clarify that you travelled on our Premier ship category, which offers a comfortable style of small-ship cruising rather than a luxury product. For guests looking for a higher standard of ship, accommodation and amenities, we offer our Luxury Cycle product. Our Cycle Croatia cruises welcome adults of all ages, including couples and solo travellers, and we regularly welcome guests over 50. Naturally, expectations around accommodation and comfort can vary, which is why we offer different ship categories to suit different preferences and budgets. We appreciate your comments regarding the ship and food and will share these with the relevant team. Thank you again for travelling with us and for your wonderful feedback about the cycling, guides and crew.
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.
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.
Our sail and cycle tour was excellent. The tour guides, Cal and Sasa, were well prepared, organized, engaging and a lot of fun. The rides were excellent and very scenic. It was nice when we stopped along the way and we heard a bit about the region which helped us better understand Croatian culture. The captain, Ivan, and his crew were great and very helpful as well. The food was good and there was lots of it. Our server, Matej, was very good and made sure we had lots to eat and drink during our trip. I will say that having no hot water for a shower on the last night and final day was not good, but that would be my only complaint in an other wise fabulous week. Highly recommended!
- Mike, 25/09/2026 04:52, Travelled in a Couple
The trip was outstanding - from check in to completion the service of the crew and the planning and locations visited made it a trip to remember. The tour leaders Josip and Augustin ensured each day was well planned, they supported all the guests and were filled with great historical information on each location that added to the scenery and atmosphere. Our trip experienced a serious accident for one of the guests and the manner in which our guides handled the incident with professionalism and care was tremendous. They showed consideration and urgency to address the situation but also genuine care for everyone involved. On board the boat, all the crew were friendly and professional and the service of Peter behind the bar was great. We anticipated a fun and exciting trip with great locations and experiences - and were well pleased. We'd totally recommend this trip to anyone that wants a great balanced trip to the Croatian Islands

Best way to experience the Islands. The crew was great and the fellow travellers were so friendly! Second time for me I would / have recommended this trip to everyone!
- Ron, 23/09/2026 11:11, Travelled in a Couple
This was our best trip ever. Been to Spain, Italy and Portugal but this sail/cycle trip was more fun than we had expected. Fantastic crew and a great group of passengers made this our best trip ever. The cycling led by 2 fantastic guides provided superb views of the islands which you would not see if only on a cruise. Meals were delicious and on time. We loved the politeness and friendliness of the crew as well as the office staff who helped us with the booking. We would recommend this cruise and may even do it again next year ourselves. Special thanks to Marin, Lauren, Yako (spelling?) and Holly.
- Michael, 23/09/2026 10:34, Travelled in a Couple
As a previous customer of Sail Croatia I knew I would enjoy myself and the company of an international gathering. It was enjoyable and the few changes were welcome. E Bikes were better but they should had wider tyres. Guides were very professional. Food was mostly very good. However, I thought that I would upgrade the boat that I had selected but I think this boat was the poorest I have been on in all four previous holidays. Rooms were small, decorations were beginning to feel very dated. Air conditioning in the bedrooms was good. Lounge areas were only adequate but outside spaces were only a little more generous, All Sail Croatia staff were good as were boat’s complement. Excellent Captain. The last day before arriving in Dubrovnik was a poor cycling day and I think that you need to find a more demanding and interesting ride. It really was disappointing In summery, better boat for Premium, more appropriate bikes, final day rethink. Thanks for running the trip.

Thank you for your 4-star review and for choosing to travel with us again. We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed the international group, found our guides professional, enjoyed the food overall and had such positive comments about the Captain and our team. We would like to clarify your comments regarding the ship category. Your booking was on our Premier ship category, rather than a higher-category ship. Premier is designed to offer a comfortable small-ship experience, but is not our highest category of accommodation. For guests looking for a higher standard of ship, accommodation and amenities, we offer our Luxury Cycle product. We appreciate your feedback regarding the ship, e-bikes and particularly the final day of cycling into Dubrovnik, and will ensure these comments are shared with the relevant teams as we continue to review the experience. Thank you again for returning to Sail Croatia. We’re pleased that overall you enjoyed another holiday with us and appreciate your 4-star rating.
Wonderful holiday from start to finish. The entire crew was very attentive to every need. The Princeze Diana was like new, clean and spacious. The room and beds and linens were very comfortable. The cycling with e-bikes was the way to go, making the long uphills quite effortless. All the rides on the different islands were beautiful. Our guides Lucija and Dora were top notch with daily briefings, and stories of local history along the way. I would 100% recommend the Sail Croatia sail and cycle to anyone.
- Michael, 21/09/2026 07:56, Travelled in a Couple
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. They were the perfect team and complimented each other very well. We were also lucky to have asuper assortment of travellers from all over the world and made friends we hope to spend time with again.

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.
- Anonymous, 21/09/2026 05:09, Travelled in a Couple
Ship was great. Crew was great. Food was great. Cycling was good. Each day should be a minimum of 40 km. 5 and 10 km days were disappointing. Guide should be prepared to quickly repair a flat tire. One day we spent an hour idling while he dealt with that, since he didn’t have the right tools. He should have sent us down the hill to the beach. Overall the briefs need to clearly and briefly state the aims of the ride and how much time in each stop. Electric and regular bikes do not mix. Too much waiting around for the regular riders. A group of 30 or more cyclists is too big to manage. Group size should be 15 max. Overall a great trip.
- Doug, 18/09/2026 14:00, Travelled in a Couple
It was absolutely delightful. A shoutout to Agustin where this was his first cycle cruise that he led and he did awesome. I think you guys are underselling what you offer - we went to Marco Polo center and Mamma Mia island, and these were barely even mentioned in the write up. Truly remarkable. The only suggestion is with varied abilities on riding bikes it could be good to have a longer intro session on bike safety. Even the basic things that some people may not be aware of. But overall, absolutely a stunning holiday !
- Juan, 17/09/2026 19:58, Travelled in a Couple
Overall our holiday was excellent. Great locations and a great crew who went above and beyond to make its success. Only three things I would highlight as opportinited for improvement: 1. Tipping: If the company and the crew have to propose a level for tipping this suggests that the crew wages are insufficient and you are relying ib tips to make them up. I would prefer you set the right wages, adjust the price for guests and leave tipping at the guests' discretion and at a much lower level. 2. The crew asked us to fill out the feedback form in their presence when we settled the bar tab. This wont give you candid feedback. Better to do it afterwards remotely like this. 3. The food was good but not as good as I would expect and most importantly the coffee was way too strong and unfiltered. Get a coffee machine.

Thank you for your 4-star rating and for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that overall you had an excellent holiday, enjoyed the destinations and felt the crew went above and beyond to make your trip a success. We also appreciate your constructive suggestions regarding tipping, the timing of our onboard feedback forms, and the food and coffee offering. Tipping is entirely optional and at each guest’s discretion, although we appreciate your comments regarding how the suggested guidance is communicated. Your feedback regarding completing forms in the presence of the crew is also particularly useful, as we certainly want guests to feel comfortable providing open and candid feedback. Thank you again for travelling with us and for your 4-star review. We’re pleased that these areas for improvement aside, you had such an enjoyable holiday.
We had a fantastic time on the Columbo with Captain Antonio and his crew. Tonca and Lauren kept us well informed and accommodated the broad range of personalities and people. Breakfast and lunch plentiful and enjoyable. Islands were magical and riding was very comfortable. I am a cyclist for 50 years back in Australia, but I was very happy to have taken an E-bike for some of the hills to be able to enjoy the ride and views. There is also a wide range of dinner options in every place we stayed. Highly recommended.

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

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!

Ana and Borno, our guides, made the experience unforgettable. They put everyone at ease, provided practical and historical information, and made each ride fun. I was mesmerized by the views on the rides. The boat was modern and comfortable. The food was amazing. The entire crew was helpful, cordial and fun. The swim stops were a lot of fun and refreshing, especially after the rides.

I throughly enjoyed my cruise from Split return of the northern islands of Croatia. Last year I travelled the Southern islands from Dubrovnik to Split . It was so enjoyable I booked this years trip as soon as I came home I am also going to book again for 2027 The cycle tour guide was extremely good , knew routes exceptionally well and explained the route every morning in great detail . We also had a lady who cycled with us who had detailed local and historical knowledge of each location , village and town we visited The boat I was on was attractive , nice size cabin - great shower . A wardrobe and bedside cabinets . The crew were really helpful , we had lovely breakfasts and lunches every day . The captains evening dinner was great too . The boat had a bar and you could have drinks when you want If you want a relaxing cruise , with fun cycling , history and beautiful locations in Croatia - all thrown in together then I strongly recommend one of the trips Sail Croatia run .
- Alison, 14/09/2026 20:28, Travelled Solo
The guides, Borna and Eva were great guides. They would give us a morning review of each daily ride and Borna also would give a brief of history of every island. The vessel was wonderful. The food prepared on board were awesome and the whole bike ride was great.
- Rick, 14/09/2026 18:41, Travelled in a Couple
We enjoyed the cruise/cycle package very much. From the start to finish, everything was well organized and we were looked after well especially by our guides Tonka and Ema on board and whilst riding. They were exceptional in looking after all 32 passengers on board. The ships crew were very hard working and always polite and helpful. The food got better as we went along. Would have been good to have some non-alcoholic drinks variety on board and with the very hot weather, access to ice would have been very much appreciated. The cycle rides were great in spite of the high temperatures and the bikes were great too. A great tour!

It was a great time with a great group of people. The staff on board were great but the main comments from us and other travellers was that the boat was a bit run down, specifically the linen was ripped and marked and the showers were smelly. Hope this helps

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you had such an amazing Cycle Croatia experience onboard Dionis and enjoyed exploring the country with Ema and Tonka. We’ll be sure to pass your kind comments on to the guides and crew!
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.

Our cycling holiday on Croatia’s beautiful islands was challenging & rewarding, perfect for completing our European holiday.
- Colleen, 09/09/2026 03:52, Travelled in a Couple
It was great. The food was fantastic. Ana and Natasha were fantastic. The Princess Diana was beautiful. Our room was great however the bed was not comfortable (Cabin 4). Also the price of the wine and beer was way too expensive. I could step off the boat and purchase a drink for 1/2 the price. Also a Latte coffee or cappuccino should not be an extra fee. Our boat was the premier. That should all be included with the price we paid.

This was the most spectacular holiday/vacation we have ever had. Our Tour Managers, Ivan and Mario, were amazing!! They were extremely knowledgeable, helpful, kind, fun, and provided so many historical details as we cycled around the various Croatian islands. We have already recommended this to others. Fabulous!

- Stephen, 31/08/2026 18:28, Travelled Solo
My Croatia Sailing and Bicycling with Sail Croatia was over the top! The Princeza Diana was a marvel and worked with the limestone aesthetics of Croatia. Captain Mate and his Mates were not just sailors,, they assisted with the bikes and small special requests. The Cycling was pure perfection including the routes, the bikes and our guides. Special mention: Ivan guaranteed ease of ride by communicating daily routes and I must not forget Mario’s story time. One of the group’s favorites! “The Chef”s meals were a curated bonus! His meals Includied tuna steaks, silver fish, shrimp risotto and other Croatian specialties. I could hardly wait for that next meal. Sail Croatia did an outstanding job delivering an exciting vacation and I look forward to traveling with them in the future!
- Jennifer, 31/08/2026 02:01, Travelled Solo
We had an absolutely incredible time on our Cycle Sail Croatia trip — truly one of those experiences you remember long after you’re home. Every day offered something special, and we loved every minute of it. Each day was better than the last!, Ivan was great with the bike routes! I want to give a huge shout out to the Sail Croatia cycle team Ivan and Lucie, who were fantastic and a big part of why this trip was so exceptional. Ivan’s iconic “Follow me” became a fun and reassuring part of each ride, and Lucie’s stories about the regions, towns, history and local legends added so much depth and colour to the journey. They both went above and beyond, and their energy, professionalism, and passion were absolutely central to the success of the trip. Also, Sanja for her beautiful ever-present smile, service, interest in the passengers’ lives and making sure our needs where met. Danilo, for his work behind the bar and sense of humour! The itinerary was well‑balanced, the scenery breathtakin
- Ashley, 30/08/2026 20:30, Travelled in a Couple
We had a great trip cycling and sailing through the islands of Croatia. Cal/J were the BEST guides. They were very informative, helpful and a true joy to be around! The food on the boat was plentiful and very good. All of the staff on the boat were excellent! Truly enjoyed getting to know them. Would highly recommend this trip to others. Thank you!
- Kimberly, 28/08/2026 11:31, Travelled in a Couple
We had an amazing week on Princess Diana, sailing and cycling around the islands from Dubrovnik to Split. Couldn't speak more highly of the experience; the boat was fantastic; the staff on board were very friendly, the food and company was excellent and our guides, Andro and Mario were great fun, very well organized, very informative and attentive to all guests on board.
- Alan Jenkins, 27/08/2026 17:02, Travelled in a Couple
We had a wonderful time on our vacation to Croatia with Sail Croatia. Andro and Mario were fantastic guides!!! All of the crew members were outstanding!! The bike rides were challenging and beautiful and the food onboard was so delicious!
- Tammy, 25/08/2026 15:25, Travelled in a Couple
This trip far and away exceeded my expectations. The accommodations were excellent. The food was great, and the ship’s staff was very professional and organized. Can’t express enough how great the cruise directors were; Andro and Mario. They clearly brought together all the components of making this a successful trip with a high degree of professionalism, politely answered thousands of questions, clearly explained Croatian history with pride for the country, and used appropriately timed humor with guests; many good laughs! I’ve made many good friendships that I expect will last for years. Already looking ahead to my next Sail Croatia adventure.
- Dave, 24/08/2026 08:09, Travelled Solo
We had a wonderful time (our second cruise with SC) sailing through the islands and biking to work off the tasty food. Superb cycling guidance by Andro and Mario. And our group of passengers were amazing, lots of new friends now.
- John, 24/08/2026 03:58, Travelled in a Couple
It was fantastic! Ivan and Lucy were very professional and very knowledgeable tour guides. We had an amazing time with sail Croatia we will definitely do it again.
- Wade, 22/08/2026 17:30, Travelled in a Couple
Our Sail Croatia trip aboard the *Princeza Diana* exceeded every expectation. The guides were knowledgeable and funny, the crew was warm and attentive, and the meals were delicious and incredibly generous. Each stop along the Dalmatian Coast was more beautiful than the last, yet even in high season, the destinations never felt overly crowded. The e-bikes were essentially brand new, and the Sail Croatia team made time ashore effortless with excellent restaurant recommendations and reservation help. We also had a great group of fellow passengers and especially enjoyed the live band evenings in Hvar and Korčula, which we lucked upon - but it might be that way every night! This was our second visit to the Dalmatian Coast—and we know it will not be our last. When we have the chance to travel with Sail Croatia again, there is really only one answer: **“Idemo!”** (Croatian for “Let’s go!”)
- Jake Rue, 20/08/2026 00:27, Travelled in a Couple
I had a fantastic time on this cruise and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a memorable and easy way to travel through Croatia. Everything was extremely well organised and professionally run which made the experience relaxed, enjoyable and a lot of fun. The guides were excellent and complemented each other perfectly Lucy with her knowledge of local history and culture and Ivan with directions and bike safety and their enthusiasm and personalities added to the great atmosphere. They were always available for questions or help and recommended fabulous extra excursions and local restaurants to try. There was genuinely nothing to fault. Everything ran smoothly and every member of the crew were professional, efficient and friendly. Swimming off the back of the boat was a real favourite and was organised whenever safe to do so. The meals included were sensational and we all throughly enjoyed ourselves.
- Sharon, 19/08/2026 07:48, Travelled Solo
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!! 🚲🇭🇷❤️
- Heather and Curtis, 18/08/2026 23:50, Travelled in a Couple
It was beautiful and amazing! Every stop was breath taking thanks to our amazing tour guides luci and Ivan. We had such a great time! The chef did not disappoint with every dish he made. We look forward to coming back to do another tour only to sail Croatia only if it’s luci and Ivan as our tour guides.
- Sara, 18/08/2026 13:01, Travelled in a Couple
Cannot say enough good things about our experience with Sail Croatia. It was the perfect way to see and explore the islands of Croatia for first time visitors. Our cycling exposed us to coastlines, stunning views from mountain tops, family farms and scenic swimming spots. The Sail Croatia guides created a nice mix of active cycling and time on our own to relax or explore the port community. The food on board was fantastic and gave us a taste of a variety of local dishes. A trip that we will remember forever!
- Michael, 17/08/2026 20:34, Travelled in a Couple
This holiday exceeded all expectations! We sailed on the Princenza Diana which was an absolutely beautiful ship with very comfortable accommodations. 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.
- Carolyn, 17/08/2026 20:10, Travelled in a Couple
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% ! Lucija‘s historical knowledge and Ivan‘s quick wit make them a gem team . I cannot fault this overall experience and will be recommending it to all.
- Libby, 17/08/2026 19:25, Travelled in a Couple
Great mix of exercise (cycle), site seeing and travel. Croatia is a gem!! Loved small ship. Quaint. Food was fantastic. Only suggestion would be to improve bar- can only order listed cocktails. Croatian wine options were good. Great energy of crew and guests. Cheers to our guides Lucy and Ivan along with experienced captain and great cook. Ana even found us a fan for the room as it was a hot week.
- Laura, 17/08/2026 03:18, Travelled in a Couple
Overall, was very nice. Even though the guides were nice, there are some details that need to be tweaked. Your website is not user friendly and we need a pdf of complete itinerary with (of course changes allowable due to docking weather conditions all) BUT a basic written itinerary with islands, activities possible there etc would have been nice as we were always trying to figure out our next day itinerary..plus to get a talk every day is good but we need time after breakfast to get ready...meanwhile we have to wait for a basic talk that could have been sent via whats app

We had a fantastic time on the sail croatia bike cruise. The water was so calm and the bike rides were a blast, not too difficult, but we got to see the beautiful landscape of Croatia. I can’t think of a better way to have visited the country! Shout out to Miranda and Lucy for being wonderful guides

This trip was perfect in every way! Vacationing with a group of like-minded people was more fun than I imagined. Miranda and Ohla were the best guides, taking care of us and every detail. Croatia is stunningly beautiful, and the sail/cycle was the perfect way to see so much!
- Elizabeth, 06/07/2026 20:53, Travelled in a Couple
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 !
- Daniel & Zoe, 06/07/2026 10:07, Travelled in a Couple
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.
- Roisin, 06/07/2026 09:12, Travelled in a Couple
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.
Good food, good guide, accommodation clean and good. Weather a bit warm.
- Lay Hoon, 06/07/2026 07:14, Travelled Solo
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.
- Francis, 06/07/2026 05:48, Travelled in a Couple
Great time riding with Miranda, Olja and a whole new group of friends. I could keep rinsing and repeating every day.
- Marc, 06/07/2026 00:38, Travelled in a Couple
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.

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.
- Dan, 03/07/2026 14:57, Travelled Solo
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
- Greg, 02/07/2026 21:07, Travelled Solo
We enjoyed an exceptional week of sailing and cycling around the islands of Croatia. Our crew and guides, Miranda and Matilda, were fantastic. The boat, the food, service and guiding were all 5 star. We cannot recommend this holiday enough. BOOK IT!

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).
- Michelle, 02/07/2026 05:05, Travelled in a Couple
Loved the sights, the ship , the crew! Professional service throughout the week!
- John, 01/07/2026 08:39, Travelled in a Couple
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.
- Tracey, 01/07/2026 06:09, Travelled in a Couple
The absolute best Holiday. Everything was top notch and the staff went out of their way to make sure we had a fantastic experience. The food was excellent and boat super clean and beautiful. Our guides Miranda and Matilda were exceptional!!! We saw the best of Croatia on our bikes and learned about the history and culture. Treasured memories of a life time!!!!

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
- Mike, 30/06/2026 22:16, Travelled in a Couple
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.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you both enjoyed exploring the islands onboard Dionis and that the cycling catered well for your different experience levels. We’ll be sure to pass your kind comments on to Ivan and Lucija!
Just came back from a wonderful cycling trip. The crew was just excellent....very professional, helpful, organized and fun! The food on the boat was simply outstanding. Every day's itinerary was well organized, with enough rest stops during the daily rides. There was also enough time on each island to do your own exploring. I'm really glad I chose Sail Croatia. I have only positive things to say about them.
- Linda, 28/06/2026 16:30, Travelled Solo
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
- Trudy, 26/06/2026 14:02, Travelled in a Couple
I didn’t know what to expect and was a little concerned doing this trip as a solo but it turned out to be beyond fantastic. The only bad thing is that it ended! Calvin and Srdan were amazing guides. The crew was efficient and kind. I needed some extra early morning assistance to get my luggage off the boat for a very early uber ride to the airport, and Iono (?) quickly volunteered and made all my stress go away. The ship was very clean. The food was fantastic. The bikes were easy to use and well maintained. The rides were a fun mix of adventure and sightseeing. I was happy to use my e-bike assist on the longer rides, which made the experience so much pre enjoyable. The swims in the sea were delightful. I easily connected with the other passengers, and I now consider many of them friends. But most of all, it was Calum and Srdan who made the week so special. Thank you!! I hope to return and bring my loved ones with!!
- Teresa, 26/06/2026 11:55, Travelled Solo
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
- Amanda, 26/06/2026 08:44, Travelled in a Couple
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 -

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

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..

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.

Absolutely stunning country, fabulous tour guides and sail crew! Loved the biking routes and the challenge of biking the Dalmatian Islands

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!

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!

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

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!

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.

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.

The cycle cruise was great! The itinerary for each day was very well organized and the crew was excellent! Our “guides”, Josip and Marin were the best… very knowledgeable about our destination and safety minded while cycling. Thanks for a wonderful vacation!

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

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!

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.

The cycle/cruise was the perfect combination of exercise, relaxation and socialization combined with lots of fun and laughter. The Captain and crew of the Mali Luka took great care of us while the Sail Croatia host and cycle guide Callum and Josko went above and beyond to make sure we were safe, looked after and enjoying every moment of the trip!

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.
- Peter, 12/06/2026 02:56, Travelled in a Couple
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.

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!
- Suzanne, 09/06/2026 22:31, Travelled in a Couple
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”.

Fabulous holiday, great fun aboard the Afrodita, Josip and Sasa our terrific guides kept us well informed of history of the island, safe along our cycle routes and it was obvious to see how much they enjoyed the job. Great team on board Peter and all the crew looked after us all so well. Lovely food from the small galley kitchen. Highly recommend this trip a great way to see Croatia.

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

We 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.
- Nicole, 05/06/2026 12:11, Travelled in a Couple
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
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.

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
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.
- Anonymous, 03/06/2026 19:10, Travelled in a Couple
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.

Great! loved the cycling and the tour guides. Our days out on the bikes were absolutely great. Both Marin and Martin did everything they could to make the trip enjoyable. My concerns were with things that were in the Captains control: 1. Why was air conditioning not on every night? not on for both first and last night which is poor. 2. bedding was sub par at best, poor quality and could have used an extra pillow. 3. Food was not great. I feel an al a carte menu would have been better as this was eat what you get which really was not appealing to me for a trip with this price. Our daughter was with us, she eats vegetarian and her food was absolutely terrible. Boris, the chef, needs to do better! 4. on board bar was poorly stocked. We would have used this service if items were available but it was basically just one wine and draft beer.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're delighted to hear that you loved the cycling experience and that Marin and Martin helped make your trip so enjoyable.

We're sorry to hear that certain aspects of the onboard experience did not fully meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments regarding the air conditioning, cabin comfort, food offerings, vegetarian meals, and onboard bar selection. As the vessel relies on shore power while docked for the air conditioning system to operate, occasional interruptions can occur if the shore power connection is temporarily disconnected. We understand that these elements play an important role in the overall guest experience, and we will ensure your feedback is shared with the vessel operator for review and consideration. In particular, we're sorry to hear that the meals, including the vegetarian options provided for your daughter, did not meet your expectations. We recognise the importance of catering to a variety of dietary preferences and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Thank you again for your constructive feedback and recommendation. We truly value guest insights as they help us continue to improve our experiences.
Had a wonderful time with my husband and our friends who came with us. The unexpected bonus was that we also made so many friends on the boat. Loved everything about the trip. Scenery was spectacular, food was delicious and healthy, biking and swimming was fun, and employees were great.

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.

Hubby and I just completed our second trip with Sail Croatia - the first was in 2018. We're delighted that this second trip was just as good, if not better than the first.

We highly recommend adventures with Sail 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.

Great holiday, the staff were excellent and the ship was fantastic. There is room for improvement. More ventilation in the lower cabins, aircon wasn’t effective. The coffee was very bad and there could be more fruit at breakfast and some soap included would be helpful. Also if beach towels are not provided it would be good to know that before we left Australia. Apart from that it was a great part of our trip

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. .

We arrived in Split during a deluge but the welcome on board Mali Luka from crew & fellow guests was warm. 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.

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

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…)

Boat crew were efficient. The two guides were knowledgable and helpful. Overall, the ride was fantastic with very good bikes and very amazing scenery.. HOWEVER, we did book and pay for a cabin with double bed. But instead got a single bed on one side and a bunk bed on the other side of the cabin which was dissapointing.

Hi Raymond, thank you for taking the time to review your Cycle cruise with us this season, and for sharing your feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed the cycling experience, scenery, bikes and found both our crew and guides knowledgable and helpful. It is a shame to read of your disappointment regarding the cabin bedding arrangement. We would like to clarify that bedding configurations are not guaranteed unless specifically requested and confirmed prior to departure. Upon reviewing the booking, we can see that a request for a double bed was not submitted by your travel agent at the time of booking, and therefore this was not something our team had been made aware of in advance. We always aim to accommodate guest preferences wherever possible and appreciate your feedback. Thank you again, it was a pleasure to have you join us!
Our trip could not have been better! The Princess Diana is a beautiful boat perfectly set up for navigating port to port and biking. Our cabin was comfortable with all the amenities needed though most of our time was spent in the salon, on deck, or biking. We cannot say enough about our tour guides Ivica and Ana. Safety of the riders was always top of mind. Ivica knows the islands intimately and he planned rides with stops for great photos, a swim and coffee or ice cream. Ana’s knowledge of the islands’ history is impressive and her clever antidotes and “myths” entertained us. Chef is a master and the food delicious. Tea and Danny were engaging and professional and took time to explain each dish. Especially memorable was the Captain’s Dinner! The Captain and crew were amazing, getting us to port on time and in a favorable location. We enjoyed watching the docking maneuvers…great team work! The ideal weather and our new biking friends made the entire week perfect.

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.

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

We joined the crew of the Princezza Diana in beautiful Split, Croatia and over the next 7 days, made our way to Dubrovnik. Our amazing hosts and guides, Tonka and Elena, assisted by the ship's Captain and crew, made our journey memorable in a very positive way. We saw spectacular scenery and did some challenging and fun rides each day. Tonka and Elena made sure everyone was safe and that we learned about what we were seeing. The bicycles provided were high-quality and in great condition. Flyer was the brand of the e-bikes we used. We met some wonderful people from all over the world on our trip, It's a vacation experience I suspect we will do again. A word of caution: Unless you're an avid (perhaps even hardcore) cyclist, plan on renting the e-bikes. The hills you will climb are both long and steep - but beautiful!

Great crew, great fellow tourers! The itinerary was excellent. The bikes were garbage. You should not offer a tour where cycling is a feature and then provide bikes that were selected on cost only. Our tour leader spent far too much time trying to keep the bikes operational.

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.

This was one of the best travel experiences of our lives. The boat was beautiful, the others travellers were great, the biking and scenery was spectacular and the guides and crew made every effort to make sure everything was excellent. Ivica was an excellent tour guide and made sure that we were all together and had exciting, enjoyable and safe bike rides. Ana made sure that no one was left behind and provided excellent information on the places we visited along with a few myths, legends and ghost stories😀. Ana and Dan (sp) were excellent bartenders and servers and made sure we stayed hydrated and were well fed. The food was excellent and we were served some traditional croatian food that was better than we had in restaurants on shore after our trip. My compliments to the chef!! We would definitely recommend this trip. Once you have tried a small boat experience you will not want to go back to the big cruise lines

All of it, the lovely crew, the boat, the bikes, and the wonderful country
- Di, 18/05/2026 06:36, Travelled Solo
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
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.
- Linda, 18/05/2026 04:24, Travelled in a Couple
We were not 100 percent confident that we would be fit enough or enjoy the experience but we absolutely enjoyed the trip. The tour guides, 2 of them, treated us like family and protected on the roads. The boat, Emanuel, with their captain and crew were a well tuned group. The food on board was excellent! The ebike made the fitness level almost irrelevant, as we watched our 72 year old female group mate keep up with the front guide.

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

Our holiday with Sail Croatia was amazing. What a wonderful way to see this beautiful country. The staff went above and beyond in their service to teach us about the history and care for our needs. Special shout out to Kristina, Josko, Andro, who made this an extra special holiday!!
- Cyndi, 13/05/2026 12:44, Travelled in a Couple
The boat, Princeza Diana, was lovely and the crew was outstanding! Our daily lunches were just delicious, way nicer than we anticipated. Our cycling guides, Tonka and Elena, managed to keep 32 riders of varying skill levels safe and entertained. Our daily rides were so much fun on the beautiful Croatian islands!
- Patricia, 12/05/2026 22:22, Travelled in a Couple
We experienced great service and were completely satisfied with our trip. The captain and crew did an outstanding job navigating us through the outer islands near Split. Our cycling guides Miranda and Lucy were always cheerful and enthusiastic. The e-bikes are very user friendly and can power up the hills with no problem.. Lucy helped us to learn about Croatian culture and history at our rest stops while riding through the beautiful countryside. Extra add ons like wine tasting, olive oil tasting and a meal on a local farm.added to the experience.
- Joan, 12/05/2026 16:51, Travelled in a Couple
The experience exceeded our expectations in every way. The boat was immaculate, our cabin was spacious, the food was top notch and the crew and guides were excellent. A special shout out goes to Tonka and Elena for leading our large group with such ease. We especially enjoyed Tonka’s “story times” throughout our rides. Loved every minute of it!!
- Sharon, 12/05/2026 13:38, Travelled in a Couple
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
Had a great trip…the guide staff were experienced and knowledgeable…always ready to help, lead, inform, suggest alternatives and more. The boat’s crew including the captain, the sailors, the cook and the other staff provided a smooth boating experience and wonderful meals. The bikes were well maintained and easy to use. Convinced us it’ll soon be time to buy an “e” bike at home.” We have no reservations in recommending Sail Croatia!
- Tony, 12/05/2026 07:58, Travelled in a Couple
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. .

- Andrea, 12/05/2026 00:39, Travelled in a Couple
We had wonderful time cruising from Island to Island on the Mali Luka and enjoyed the cycling excursions led by Ivica and Sasha. The food, accommodations and staff on board were first rate, and I would highly recommend the trip to anyone who enjoys a great adventure. Thank you again to the captain and crew for a great week!
- Gordon, 11/05/2026 21:13, Travelled in a Couple
My husband and I had a fantastic time cycling and cruising. Our guides made our trip exceptional, their knowledge and attentativeness and care they put in to the whole week made it awesome.
- Erin Long, 11/05/2026 18:24, Travelled in a Couple
Although the entire experience was outstanding I do have a couple of points: 1.) As an experienced cyclist, I had no issues but I did see some areas of saftey that could be improved. There was confusion throughout the day as directions were, at times, incomplete and vague. 2.) Food was another issue as items at breakfast would run out and the main course lunches were mediocre. 3.) Coffee is always an issue for me and yours was the worst. (Sorry) 4.) I didn't understand why we couldn't pay our bar tab with a credit card. Many were short on cash and had to rush to an ATM. 5.) Whatsapp feature was great, would of been nice to get the days briefing in advance of actual briefing at 8:30 so we could follow along and have questions prepared. All in all our tour guides were friendly and well informed about the areas we visited and I would recommend this tour to friends The boat was immaculate and comfortable. Great way to see Croatia for the first time.
