Cycle around the diverse islands of Kvarner Bay, cruising past fissured cliffs and pebble beaches on an adventurous escape with added luxury - look forward to relaxing on a deluxe motor yacht with the best of everything, from superior cabins to a sumptuous sun deck. The natural landscapes here are breathtaking, so get ready to capture crimson sunsets on camera and spot endangered griffon vultures gliding overhead.

Each island is unique and you’ll ride through wild landscapes and green meadows, smell fragrant pines and discover hidden coves and lunar landscapes. Fortified towns make relaxing places to stop for an espresso or you can cycle to medieval clifftop villages for a glass of local wine.

The cycling on this tour is made easier with e-bikes, which will be used by the majority of guests and the guides. Hybrid bikes are available but are recommended only for strong cyclists who are comfortable keeping pace with e-bikes.
