Bike and Boat: Cycling Croatia's Islands

Start your adventure in the seaside city of Split, where you'll explore the stunning beaches and medieval passageways, and visit Diocletian's expansive palace. After a bike fitting, enjoy a leisurely ride around the Marjan peninsula before boarding our gullet, the Tajna Mora (or similar), which will be your floating home for the next week. We'll then cruise to the island of Brač, where we'll dock for the night.

Start your day with a scenic bike ride from the dock to the quaint town of Pucisca, known for its white stone and stone cutting school. After a coffee break, you can choose to continue your ride to the town of Bol, famous for its long white beach at Zlatni Rat. Spend the rest of the day exploring the coast and enjoying the view of the island from our boat.

Today, you'll pedal through the olive groves of Jelsa before climbing to the central ridge of Hvar island for stunning views over the coast and the Adriatic sea. After a descent to Bristova Bay, enjoy lunch and perhaps a swim before we cruise to Korčula island. Spend the rest of the day exploring the narrow streets of old town Korčula, a Greek colony founded in the 4th century.

Depart Korčula for a scenic ride through pine and olive groves to the seaside town of Lumbarda. From there, you can choose to continue north to another small town or take a leisurely cruise to the town of Vela Luka. If you're up for a challenge, you can summit the island at 500 meters and enjoy a quiet ride along Korčula Island to Vela Luka. Depending on time and weather, we'll either stay near Vela Luka or continue to the island of Vis.

Today, we'll cruise to the rarely visited but exceptionally beautiful island of Vis. Here, you'll have the opportunity to take a short loop ride and enjoy a special peka lunch in a local konoba. You can choose to ride the east side for a shorter loop and plenty of time to swim, or ride around the whole island for a more challenging ride.

We're back to Hvar Island today, visiting the capital itself — Hvar Town. You can choose to cycle up and over the narrow island through vineyards and lavender fields, or opt for a shorter loop ride on the north side of the island. Our destination is the town of Stari Grad, one of the oldest towns on the Adriatic islands. Enjoy a walk around the tiny medieval streets before returning to the boat for a swim and dinner.

After breakfast, our boat will take us to the picturesque island of Solta. Our ride today includes a stop at the Tvrdic Honey Farm, where you can enjoy lunch and learn about beekeeping. Continue your ride across the island to explore other towns or return to our boat for a shorter ride. In the evening, prepare for a celebratory dinner together!

Our tour ends after breakfast this morning with one final boat ride together from Solta to the bustling port in Split. If you didn't have a chance to explore the fascinating Roman city of Split earlier, take the opportunity now. Or head on to your next adventure. Whatever your travel plans from here, thank you for joining us!
