Grading

GRADE 3 - This is an e-bike tour. For cyclists using road or gravel bikes, we recommend that you are fit and comfortably able to cycle around 20kmph on the flat and 10kmph on the ascents. If you are unsure we recommend an e-bike.
Even for e-bikers, the trip requires a reasonable level of fitness from participants, which you should have acquired from steady cycling. The tours will take us up to a height of between 200 and 500m/656 and 1646ft above sea-level. The day-tours from 20 to 45km / 12.5 to 28mi will take us through hilly and mountainous terrain and will be completed without any time-constraints. Participants will also need to master long and steep climbs, during which you may need to push the bike (not e-bikers). You are free to set aside a half or full day to swim or spend on board the boat, instead of taking a planned bike-tour. We will traverse mostly asphalted roads, which are rarely travelled outside the holiday seasons.
Each day you can either decide to bike alone, using the information and maps provided, or join the two tour guides or other participants. It is considered suitable for active children with bike tour experience (minimum 10 years, height minimum is 1.2m/4ft for hybrid bike or 1.5m/5ft for e-bike). *For safety reasons, we insist that cycle helmets be included as a compulsory item on your equipment list.

What You Carry

During the cycle day you will carry your daily requirements in the pannier provided with the bike. This may include your lunch, wet weather gear, mobile phone and water. A small daypack which can be kept inside the pannier is useful for sightseeing.

Mode of Transport

Travel includes group transfers from/to Zagreb on day 1 and day 8, with individual transfers available on request. The tour also features cruising between islands on a comfortable sailing boat.

Accommodation

Enjoy 7 nights of accommodation in a twin cabin below deck with ensuite facilities on board a deluxe boat. If you prefer, you can upgrade to a cabin on deck or a single cabin for an additional supplement.
