Visit Croatia's charming  Dalmatian coast as you cycle and motor between ports on a premium motor yacht. From pretty green islands to captivating towns and cities, every day is different. Sleeping aboard a modern motor yacht, you’ll cast off from Dubrovnik with its terracotta roofs, cobbled streets and impressive city walls. You will hop between islands, each with its unique appeal, from the monastery in Mljet to Korčula, known as 'little Dubrovnik', and the lavender fields of Hvar.

You’ll pedal through vineyards and forests, often with the cobalt blue Adriatic in sight. The terrain on the mainland and islands is undulating in parts, but climbs are rewarded by stunning views and as you travel from island to island, there are opportunities to cool off at secluded swimming spots. This tour also takes in the captivating culture of the region, with interesting places to admire as you ride and guided city walking tours. We'd recommend booking extra nights before or after your tour to explore the UNESCO world heritage sites in Dubrovnik and Split.

This tour also runs in reverse order from Split to Dubrovnik. Please see 'Dates & Prices' section below.
