Discover the islands and national parks of northern Dalmatia by bike and boat

Our island hopping tour to the national parks is our “green” tour in Croatia and also one of the easiest. Here, the focus is on the breathtakingly beautiful landscape.

Most of the islands visited are sparsely populated. The boat takes you up the Krka fjord to almost the spectacular waterfalls and into Krka National Park. South of the island of Dugi Otok, you cruise through the incomparably beautiful Kornati National Park, where countless small islands lie close together, strung like a string of pearls.

In addition to these impressive natural experiences, culture is not neglected on this trip. In Šibenik and Zadar, you will learn more about the region's historic past and visit the most important monuments of northern Dalmatia with your tour guide.

Travel Details

You will arrive individually, either by car to Trogir or by plane to Split. After checking in on your motor yacht between 2:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., your first crossing to Rogoznica will begin at around 3:00 p.m. Rogoznica is a small town located on an islet connected to the mainland by a dam. You will spend the first night of your trip here.

Today, you will enjoy breakfast during a morning crossing to the coastal town of Vodice. Here, you will mount your bikes and begin your tour to the island of Murter, which is connected to the mainland by a lift bridge in the middle of the town of Tisno. Crossing the bridge, you will continue along the coast through two old fishing villages to a small pier. The ship will be waiting for you here to take you on a spectacular cruise through the Kornati National Park, which is best known for its scattered small islands and abundance of fish. The destination of the crossing is the Telašćica Nature Park. A walk through the park with its salt lake and steep cliffs concludes this eventful day.

After a peaceful night, you will set off on your bike feeling refreshed. You will leave Telašćica Nature Park on a road with almost no traffic. On your bike tour across the ridge of the “long island” (Dugi Otok), you will enjoy magnificent views of the neighboring islands and the deep blue sea on both sides. In the small harbor town of Brbinj, you will meet your ship, which will take you on a crossing to Zadar. For centuries, the city was the political, cultural, and spiritual center of Dalmatia. Your tour guide will take you on an extended stroll through the alleys of the lively old town. 3,000 years of history have shaped the cityscape here, and there is much to marvel at: the mighty fortress wall with its defensive towers, the loggia, and the early Romanesque St. Donatus Basilica.

During breakfast, you will cross the Zadar Channel by boat and head over to the island of Ugljan. Today, you will have plenty of time to explore the two islands of Ugljan and Pašman, which are connected by a bridge, by bike. You will cycle through idyllic little villages with pretty stone houses and past small harbors with their colorful fishing boats, always along the east coast, enjoying beautiful views of the sea and the mainland opposite. In the afternoon, you will weigh anchor and cross over to Šibenik, where you will spend the night.

In the afternoon, take a small excursion boat into Krka National Park to the famous waterfalls. Take plenty of time to explore this unique and spectacular natural spectacle on foot. You will spend tonight in the tranquil harbor of Skradin.

In the afternoon, today's bike tour starts from Primošten, first to Rogoznica and then back to Primošten. You will spend the night in the harbor there and can explore the small town in the evening.

 

San Snova, Outdoor Area

A morning crossing takes you to the island of Šolta. Walled fields, numerous olive groves, carob and fig trees line the road. The spicy scent of rosemary accompanies you on your bike tour across this quiet island, which takes you to the village of Grohote. At noon, you will take the last crossing of this tour back to Trogir. Here you will have enough time to stroll through the medieval old town, which is a World Heritage Site. Traditionally, the last evening before disembarkation is celebrated as a cheerful get-together of guests and crew/tour guides.

Bringing your own bikes We offer high-quality, optimally maintained rental bikes. However, if you prefer to bring your own trekking bike, please check the condition of the brakes, gears, and tires before the trip and bring a repair kit and spare parts (e.g., inner tube). Please note that bringing your own bike on the plane incurs relatively high additional costs and there is a high risk of transport damage. Due to safety regulations on the ships and to protect the health of our employees, it is not possible to bring your own e-bike. If you would like to ride an e-bike, please rent one from our stock. We advise against bringing your own road bike, as the narrow road bike tires are not suitable for the roads we travel on. The organizer accepts no liability for any damage to a bike you bring with you that is caused by loading, unloading, or transport.

Group pace On most bike & boat tours, you can choose between a trekking bike and an e-bike to participate in the daily tours. However, the guided group pace is based on the trekking bike riders. Anyone who rents an e-bike on a trekking bike tour is asked to be considerate of those who are riding without electronic assistance. We thank you for your understanding. This tour is primarily designed as a guided group tour. In principle, there is nothing to prevent you from cycling individually, provided you discuss this with our tour guides in advance. During the daily program meetings, your tour guides will explain everything you need to know about the next day's stage. If you prefer to travel alone rather than with the group, you can cycle independently and at your own pace. Your guides will be cycling the same route as you, so they will be nearby and available by phone in case of emergencies, problems, or questions.

Timetable and program changes Changes due to weather, water levels, or technical circumstances are always possible on boat trips.

Travel documents EU citizens (who do not have any special circumstances, e.g., dual citizenship, primary residence abroad, or provisionally issued travel documents) require a valid ID card or passport for this trip, which must be valid for at least 6 months after the end of the trip. If you have a different citizenship or multiple citizenships, or if you have to comply with special legal requirements, please check the respective visa and entry requirements with your local consulate.

This trip is not suitable for people with limited mobility.

We recommend taking out international health insurance with repatriation, accident, baggage, and travel cancellation insurance.
