Tourmap

Route

Tour profile: Level 2

The cycling stages require a good basic condition, which should be acquired as a regular cyclist. The cycling stages of 30 - 60 km in length lead through hilly and mountainous terrain and are cycled without time constraints. Steeper or longer climbs also have to be mastered. The tours go up to an altitude between 400 and 700 meters. The roads are mostly asphalted and not very busy outside the vacation season. Instead of a bike tour, it is also possible to take a half or full day of swimming on the ship.

Day 1: Trogir (Embarkation) – Rogoznica

Individual arrival by car to Trogir or by plane to Split airport, which is about 3 mi./ 5 km away from the harbour of Trogir. After the check in on the motor yacht (between 2 and 2.30 pm) we leave Trogir around 3 pm During the crossing to Rogoznica the fresh sea breeze can be enjoyed. On the way enjoy a swim break from the ship. Dinner and the first night in Rogoznica.

Day 2: Rogoznica – Vodice – Slanica – Nature Park Telašćica, approx. 27 km

In the morning your ship will take you to Vodice. From the popular resort you will start your first bike tour. Soon you will cross the bridge to the island of Murter. Finally, in Slanica, in the very northwest of the island, your ship awaits you for the crossing to the island of Dugi Otok. Now you pass the National Park Kornati, an island archipelago in crystal clear water, which is known for its rich underwater world. The destination is the deeply incised Telašćica Bay. At the end of the day you will take a short hike, which will also take you to the impressive steep cliffs. You will spend the night in the quiet bay of Telašćica.

Day 3: Islands of Dugi Otok and Zadar, approx. 45 km

From Telascica Bay you will cycle across the almost car-free island of Dugi Otok to Božava Bay surrounded by pine forests, agaves and tamarisk trees. In Božava the boat awaits you for the crossing to Zadar. On a guided tour you will learn everything worth knowing about this extraordinary city.

Day 4: Zadar – Islands of Ugljan and Pašman – Vodice, approx. 33 km

During breakfast the boat takes us to Preko on the island of Ugljan from where we will ride to Tkon on the island of Pašman. The two islands are connected by a bridge from which the first of the Kornati Islands can be seen. We cycle along the east coast of the island, constantly in vicinity of the sea with views of the mainland. Once we arrive in Tkon, we board the boat and cross over to Vodice, a populare Dalmatian holiday destination on the mainland where we will spend the night.

Day 5: Vodice – Krka-Waterfalls, approx. 35 km

Dalmatian hinterland to the beautiful port of Skradin at the foot of the Krka Canyon. In the afternoon you will explore by excursion boat and on foot the unique, natural lower waterfalls in the Krka Canyon National Park. You will spend the night in the picture book town of Skradin.

Day 6: Skradin – Šibenik – Primošten

During breakfast your ship will take you to Šibenik at the mouth of the Krka River into the Adriatic Sea. The Cathedral of St. Jacob is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the most beautiful sacral building on the Adriatic coast. But also the old town of Šibenik deserves a visit. At noon, it’s "Cast off!" once again. We leave Šibenik and enjoy a bathing break from the ship and a delicious lunch during the crossing to Primošten.

Day 7: Primošten – Trogir, approx. 40 km

In the morning our last bike tour for the week takes us from Primošten inland past rural villages to Trogir. Many magical views of the town and the island of Čiovo invite for short breaks and photo stops. In the afternoon we have the chance to stroll through the UNESCO world heritage city of Trogir. A cheerful evening meal on board the boat gives you time to celebrate the success of the week with fellow travelers and tour guides.

Day 8: Trogir (Disembarkation)

After breakfast disembarkation until 9 am and individual trip home or extended stay in Croatia.

    The team on the boat were excellent and the guides in particular. We had three city tours with local guides and again they were excellent. We particularly appreciated our guide’s professionalism and care of our group....J.D. 06/23

    What a wonderful trip - once in a lifetime!

    This was a superb trip. I booked for 7 of us on a top luxury boat, the YOLO, which can sleep over 30 people. When we got there we found it was just the 7 of us on board. We had the loveliest crew, a great captain and everything we could wish for, and ...

    Nice and enjoyable trip but areas for improvement

    Be aware that this is not a bike tour but a nice discovery trip of Croatia with some biking. We loved being able to swim in the sea from the ship. When visiting cities like Zadar, Primosten and Trogir, very good city guides were provided, really nice! ...

    Dalmatia 2023

    A bit of lack of food variety for breakfast. Local fruits such as figues, watermelons, etc. would have been appreciated. Include a visit of an olive growing farm in the tour.
