The compact cabins are configured with double beds, two lower beds (twin) and a single bed. If you are travelling solo you can be matched with another passenger. Excellent discounts apply to a third person sharing a triple cabin, with a configuration of a French bed (quite cosy for two people as it is a little smaller than a double) and a single bunk bed above, or two lower beds + single bunk bed. Note that the lower deck cabins by their very nature will be marginally noisier and less ventilated due to their proximity to the engine and working part of the boat.

BIKES

During the trip you will be provided with a reliable, low maintenance, aluminum frame bike in the suitable size. Our hybrid bikes are equipped with 28 inch hollow chamber rims with puncture- proof touring tires, high-quality derailleur gears and break systems, a carrier and a sturdy bike stand, touring saddle as well as mudguards and a pannier rack.

All components are selected based on our twenty years of experience in bike tourism, ensuring that they fulfill the necessary criteria to provide the rider with an un-compromised cycle experience. Minimum height requirement for our rental bikes is 120cm or 150cm for our e-bikes. The bikes do not have water bottle holders. Helmets are not supplied but are mandatory on all bike tours - you are encouraged to bring your own well-fitted helmet. A limited number of rental helmets are available on board (reservation essential - supplied free of charge), however we cannot guarantee their suitability. Please note that children up to age 16 must wear a helmet when cycling in compliance with Croatian laws.

If you have booked and paid a supplemement for an e-bike, you will receive a high-quality pedelec, powered mainly by a Bosch motor capable of covering long distances, and characterized by their light weight and great components. Alternative drive systems may also be used.

Standard components of our e-bikes in varying frame sizes include, 28 inch hollow chamber rims with puncture-proof touring tires, high-quality derailleur gears and break systems, a carrier and a sturdy bike stand, touring saddle as well as mudguards and a pannier rack. With our e-bikes you will conquer the hills with a smile, they are a true declaration of independence for all who wish to cycle and seek the support of a little push. We offer a trapeze frame for all guests up to 179 cm, and a diamond frame for people 180 cm+.

BRINGING YOUR OWN SADDLE OR PEDALS

Our rental bikes are equipped with flat pedals. Should you not want to be without your own click pedals (or own saddle – without the seat post), please bring them with you and let your tour guide attach them to your rental bike.

HANDLEBAR BAGS

Handlebar bags are a very useful accessory because they allow easy and direct access to important items such as camera or raingear. Handlebar bags are available from many suppliers in different sizes and with various attachment systems. The well-tried Klick-Fix principle is the most common. A good handlebar bag should definitely be water-proof and have a solid, easy to use attachment mechanism. It should never be too large since heavy handlebar bags influence the steering behaviour of the bike. A transparent map compartment at the top is very useful. Should you bring a handlebar bag with you on your trip, please keep in mind that our bicycles do not have a Klick-Fix attachment, so you need to bring the necessary adapters.

BRINGING YOUR OWN BIKE

A bicycle with a gearshift (at least 7, better 21 gears) in a sound technical condition is required for this tour because the area is mostly hilly. Almost all of our cycling tours start at sea level, this commonly results in an uphill start to the tour. If you decide to bring your own bicycle you should double-check the condition of your brakes, tires and chains before the trip and put together an appropriate repair kit with spare parts (such as an extra tire tube). Narrow tires are ill-suited for the trip. Exclusion of liability: We and our partner (Radurlaub Zeitreisen GmbH) cannot be held liable for any damage that might be caused to your e-bike/bicycle during loading, unloading or transfer.

Please be aware that private e-bikes are not permitted on board. This decision has been made due to insurance regulations. If you wish to ride an e-bike for the duration of your tour, please get in touch with us about the rental options. We offer high quality, fully serviced rental bikes perfectly suited to your tour.

PANNIERS

For the duration of the tour we supply you with a waterproof pannier by Ortlieb, a practical way of carrying drinks, bathing gear, camera etc. The use of the panniers is free of charge. To ensure that bike panniers remain water proof they have to be closed tight. Although panniers are manufactured from waterproof material we cannot be held liable for any damage that might be caused to any personal belongings like mobile phones, cameras etc.

BIKE INSURANCE

Our partner offers rental bike insurance against theft and damage (not insured: grossly negligent damages). e-bike: 20 euro/week hybrid bicycle: 10 euro/week If you would like to book insurance for your rental bicycle please speak with your reservations consultant or travel agent.

Kindly take care of your rental bike. Park it at safe places - not next to the sea to keep it away from salt water. Please keep in mind that you are responsible to compensate for any damage caused.
