Bike barge tour Croatia: Relaxed Adriatic adventures

Cycling may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about a vacation in Croatia. You’re probably imagining picturesque beaches lapped by the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea, handsome fortified towns and secluded islands accessed only by yacht.

Biking and boating tours in Croatia give you the chance to explore all of this, but also another side of Croatia’s coastal paradises: challenging hill routes that reward you with spectacular sea views, sleepy island interiors away from the tourist hotspots, and spectacular national parks.

And taking a refreshing dip in the sea feels absolutely delightful after a day of biking!

What to expect on your boat and bike tour in Croatia

Croatia’s beautiful rocky coastlines and green island interiors are perfect for those cyclists looking for a challenge. Each day starts with a tasty breakfast on board your motor yacht “hotel” before you and your tour leader head out to bike through the gorgeous scenery of Southern Dalmatia, the Kvarner Bay Islands or Croatia’s renowned island national parks.

And if it sounds too demanding, don’t forget that you can make things easier by choosing an e-bike.

Every evening you’ll make your way back to the yacht for a well-deserved swim in turquoise waters, a home-cooked meal featuring the freshest local ingredients and Croatian specialties, and a fine wine on deck as you watch the sun go down on another day of biking and boating in Croatia.

Cycle and sail through UNESCO highlights and natural wonders

For those who would like their biking and boating tour in Croatia to combine both island-hopping and UNESCO-listed world heritage sites, our Dalmatian trips are perfect, and they can be taken as high-end PLUS tours. Marvel at sights like the regal walled city of Dubrovnik, get up close and personal with Diocletian’s Palace in Split, and cycle charming routes on the sparsely-populated islands of the Adriatic Sea in between.

On the other hand, if you’d rather spend more time exploring Croatia’s reefs, bays and islands, the National Parks of Dalmatia bike barge tour offers a unique chance to do this. Enjoy easier cycling as you visit the waterfalls in National Park Krka, the old town of Trogir, and the wild aquatic realm of the Kornati National Park archipelago and its attendant islands.
