Due to changing wind and weather conditions as well as organizational requirements the tour could be conducted in reverse order.
Parallel to some of the Southern Dalmatia tour dates we are also offering the Southern Dalmatia PLUS tour with one of the first class ships. On this tour E-bike rides are conducted parallel – the itinerary is similar. Therefore the PLUS tours would be the perfect alternative if the desired tour date on the regular tour is already fully booked or if you are looking for a tour on an even more luxury boat.
The ship – Your sailing hotel
In between cycling excursions, you cruise along with the ship, which travels to a new destination every day. You will sleep and have breakfast and 1 or 2 warm meals on board. Depending on the program, this will be lunch or dinner. The other meal is ashore (not included). It’s possible to spend a day on board if you like. There are rental bikes on board, but you can also bring your own if you mention it when booking.
Individual arrival by car to Trogir or by plane to Split Airport, located about 3.5 mi./6 km away from the harbour of Trogir. After checking in on the motor yacht between 1 and 1:30 pm, the first cruise from Trogir to the island of Šolta begins at 2 pm. The first night is spent in a quiet harbour on the island of Solta with the opportunity to take a swim after a day of travel.
This morning we enjoy a cruise during breakfast to the Island of Vis. Vis is the furthermost inhabited island from mainland Croatia. A Greek colony called Issa inhabited the island 2,300 years ago. Due to its strategic location it was a military zone until 1995 and prohibited for foreign tourists. Today we have the opportunity to explore the lovely island by bicycle. We have plenty of time to enjoy the island and spend the night here.
In the morning we leave the island of Vis by boat and navigate to the harbor town of Vela Luka on the Island of Korčula. Along the way we throw the anchor for a refreshing swim stop. Korčula is regarded as one of the most scenic islands in the Adriatic, abundant in scenic impressions and quaint villages nestled in the green. Once we arrive in Vela Luka we can enjoy a round tour from Vela Luka to the village of Blato and back again. The night is spent in Vela Luka.
The day starts with a relaxing cruise to Hvar town on Hvar Island. Make use of the time before the cycle tour starts and go for a little stroll through the city. Standing on the magnificent Renaissance Square you can enjoy a view up to the Spanish fortress towering high above the city. Today’s bike tour takes us from the city of Hvar through small villages and lavender fields to Stari Grad on the opposite side of the island. The descent to Stari Grad offers breathtaking views. After a lunch break we continue start off on a second cycling tour through the green planes of the island to the seaside town of Jelsa. After a break for coffee and ice cream, we continue the round trip back to Stari Grad where we spend the night.
In the morning we cruise to the island of Brač, famous for its radiant, precious limestone that was, among others, used for the White House in Washington and in the construction of the German Reichstag building in Berlin. Once we have arrived on Brač, we start our bike tour from Milna to the picturesque harbor town of Postira. At first we cycle inland through small villages and past local architectural relics before hugging the coast with spectacular views across the channel to the mainland. On arrival in Postira there are many ways in which to enjoy the rest of the afternoon. The night is spent in the quiet harbor of Postira.
During breakfast the boat brings us to Omiš. Today we have the choice either to take a bus transfer to go rafting through the Cetina Canyon (not included in the tour price) or to make a bike tour around Omiš. The rafting group will be picked up from the boat by a bus. From the starting point they will follow the river downstream in the rafts gaining a unique perspective of the canyon and its flora and fauna. Participants of the rafting trip are brought back to the boat in the bus after the activity. In the afternoon we cruise to Split, where we spend the night.
In the morning, we enjoy our last cruise back to Trogir. From here, we take the bikes across the local bridge to Čiovo Island where we enjoy our last bicycle tour. Čiovo is a sea of flowers and the aromatic scent of wild herbs hangs in the air. We cycle to the local beach where we can enjoy a refreshing swim and coffee break before returning to the boat in Trogir. Once we arrive, there will be plenty of time to visit the Old Town of Trogir, listed as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. The last evening aboard is celebrated in traditional fashion in the company of our fellow travellers and guides.
After breakfast disembarkation until 9 am and individual departure.

It was an awesome vacation. The San Snova boat had great character. The guides (Dora, Matija, Laura) provided wonderful trips and help. The staff kept provided wonderful service. We hated to leave.
Thank you for your fantastic feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you had an awesome vacation on the San Snova and appreciated the character of the boat, as well as the wonderful service from the guides. We re thrilled that you enjoyed your trip so much. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable adventure soon. Kind regards, Boat Bike Tours
We had a marvelous time on our Boat Bike Tour of Southern Dalmatia! Our guides, Anna, Marko, and Luko, were just wonderful–full of energy, laughter, knowledge, and kindness. They and the entire crew made us feel welcome and at home. The food was excellent (maybe a bit too much of it) and the service was outstanding. The San Snova was comfortable and spotlessly clean. We highly recommend this adventure even for 70 year-olds (you may want to get an e-bike, though).
Thank you very much for your review. How nice to read that your experience with Boat Bike Tours has been so great! Enjoy the beautiful memories and who knows, we may welcome you on board again! Team Boat Bike Tours
Trip of a lifetime! We had the boat fully book with a total of 28 friends. The boat was Pape Prvi. The family & crew were outstanding. We were treated like family all week. Our two guides Mihael & Lucija were awesome! They prepared us extremely well for each days activities of breathtaking views, historical sites, towns & harbors along our routes. Safety was always first & foremost to ensure we all had a great experience…and we did! They also took the time to teach us each day about the Croatian language, flag, history & culture. What a beautiful county, people & culture to experience!!
My wife and I participated in the boat/bike tour Pearls of Dalmatia: Dubrovnik to Split on the boat Pape Prvi. We had a great time! The scenery was absolutely beautiful. The route taken was challenging, but well worth the effort. Our boat staff was great. They were friendly and attentive to all our needs. Our guides, Mihael and Lucia were tremendous. They were entertaining, supportive of our efforts and a font of information about the area we traveled. And, finally, Paula, our agent was understanding and patient answering all our questions of which we had many traveling in this time of COVID. Overall it was an A+ vacation which I would highly recommend to anybody. Chuck Falahee
