Extra Info
Skill Level — Easy–Moderate
This is always the most difficult thing we do is rate a tour. This electric bike tour is offered on ships designed to accommodate as many electric bikes as passenger capacity. The majority of participants on this e bike tour will be using an electric bike. For them, this tour could be easy, moderate, or difficult, depending on level of assistance they utilize! For those who will be riding a hybrid touring bike, you will work harder to keep up with the group on electric bikes as the e cyclists will set the pace. Do note for every participant, this tour assumes that you are a cyclist, that you ride often, that you have good command of your bicycle, and good balance. An electric bike is heavier than a non-electric bike. You will traverse heights of between 200 and 500 m with daily distances ranging between 18 to 55 km through mountainous terrain. Tours can be completed without any time constraints. Participants will need to master long and steep climbs which present little to no problem with the use of electric bikes. Streets are mostly asphalted with little traffic. At times, with your guide’s approval, you may be able to ride self-guided but there are no guarantees.
Airport Info
Fly to the airport of Split (SPU) which is about 6 km from your port of embarkation in Trogir. Split airport is quite small but very busy. A major expansion has been ongoing and due to be completed in 2019.
Local Travel
As the airport is located quite close to your embarkation point in Trogir, you do have several options.
- From the airport, you can utilize public transportation. Bus number 37 leaves the main road in front of the airport in the direction of Trogir and takes about 15 minutes. A bus ticket costs around 15 kunas.
- Taxis are readily available and Uber has recently entered the Croatian market. A flat rate from Split Airport to all central Split destinations is 225 Kn.
- If you would like an exclusive airport transfer between Split Airport and Trogir Port, you can book this in advance for 15 euros/person /route (only on embarkation/disembarkation day).
Climate
Please check local conditions before arrival. The Dalmatian coast is the perfect place for a bike and boat tour. Governed by a Mediterranean climate, summers are quite warm and sunny and generally the driest of all seasons.
Day of Rest
You are free to set aside a half or full day to swim or spend your time relaxing on board the boat.
Recommended
Don’t forget to bring a beach towel. You will be glad you did. Helmets are mandatory. There are a limited number of helmets on board so please request at the time of booking.
Remarks
Electric bikes are included in the tour price. Hybrid (touring) bicycles are available at a discounted price but please note that use of a hybrid touring bike will completely change the difficulty level. The e-cyclists set the pace for the group.

Extra Stay
Additional nights with breakfast in Trogir or in Split can be arranged. The medieval town of Trogir has an almost museum-like character well worth extensive forays through the city and the surroundings. The wonderfully preserved old town is located on an island connected to the mainland and the island of Čiovo by bridges. Split is a vibrant port city, located between the mountains and the sea. It has stunningly beautiful beaches.
