Grading

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 good level of fitness from participants to fully participate in the cycling, which you should have acquired from steady cycling. The tours take you up to a height of between 200 and 500m/656 and 1640ft above sea-level. The daily tours from 20 to 48km/12.5 to 30mi lead you through hilly and mountainous terrain and will be completed without any time-constraints. Participants also need to master long and/or steep climbs. We will traverse mostly asphalted roads, which are rarely travelled on outside of the holiday seasons.
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. Each day you can either decide to bike alone, using the information and maps provided, or join the tour guides. It is considered suitable for fit beginners and active children (minimum height 1.5m/5ft for e-bike). *For safety reasons, we insist that cycle helmets be included as a compulsory item on your equipment list.

The trip was fantastic in many ways. The boat was very comfortable, the food was wonderful and the guides and boat staff worked very hard and made the trip a great experience. We had several days of rain and the staff did a great job at coming up with alternative activities.

We had an awesome Sail and Bike adventure on the north Dalmatian coast of Croatia. The entire crew on the boat worked incredibly hard to maintain the boat, prepare our meals and beverages, and navigate us safely from port to port. Our guides were very capable, knowledgeable and engaging and the eBikes we used worthy of the hills we encountered. We would definitely recommend this trip.

Our trip was wonderful! Our boat was beautiful and the food incredible! The staff was very attentive and out two guides were terrific. Very personable and always available to help us out and answer questions. The islands we visited were beautiful and the three city guides we had in Zadar, Sibenik and Trogir were excellent!

The trip - from meeting the boat in Trogir to arriving back there eight days later was absolutely awesome! The tour guides, the accommodation on the boat; the activities; the crew on board; the food… and the great company of the other guests. Ten out of ten. Loved it - fantastic!!!

What surprised us most about our first trip to Croatia wasn’t the spectacular scenery, nor the crystal-clear sea, nor the well-preserved historical buildings – but the friendliness of the people. During our 10-day stay, everyone we dealt with was kind and helpful. It is so refreshing to visit a country that is not fed up with its tourists (yet). The bikes were of good quality and generally well-maintained. It was very thoughtful of the captain to turn the ship around each day so that all of the cabins got an equal share of sun. Our cruise was perfect, in large part thanks to our guides.

Loved it. Great food, great accommodation, staff so helpful and friendly. I do cycle normally but really enjoyed using the e-bikes as there were many challenging hills.

I have been raving about this amazing holiday. Our ship, the Melody, was spacious and luxurious. The crew and our tour guides, Toni & Vili, were beyond brilliant. They had us smiling and laughing all the way. And then of course... there was beautiful, magical Croatia and the wonder that is the Dalmatian coast! I can't wait to return.
