Day 1: Embarkation in Trogir | Trogir - Hvar Island by boat
Closest and most practical airport to arrive at is the Split Airport which is about 6 km from the harbor of Trogir. Check-in on the boat is between 2 and 2:30 pm. The ship leaves Trogir around 3 pm and sails for Stari Grad, the second-largest settlement on the Island of Hvar and well known for its important harbor. Overnight stay in Stari Grad.Day 2: Island of Hvar, 12.5 mi. (20 km)
After breakfast, the boat sets off on a bike tour from Stari Grad to the capital city of Hvar. You'll have plenty of time on arrival to visit the magnificent Renaissance Square of Hvar town and enjoy the view up to the Spanish Fortress situated high above the city. Back on board again we cross over to the island of Vis. Overnight stay on Vis.Day 3: Island of Vis, 20 mi. (32 km)
Vis is the furthermost island from mainland Croatia. A Greek colony called Issa was settled on the island 2,300 years ago. Due to its strategic location, it was a military zone until 1995 and prohibited for foreign tourists. Today is the opportunity to explore the lovely island by bicycle. After cycling the boat takes you to the Island of Korčula. Overnight stay in Vela Luka.Day 4: Island of Korčula, 37.5 mi. (60 km)
Discover the island of Korčula by bicycle and enjoy lunch in one of the local restaurants. The calmness and remoteness of the vast vegetation and cypress gardens have given shape to probably the most beautiful Dalmatian island. The bicycle tour leads via the village of Blato, like Rome, built on seven hills, along a pass road across Pupnat bay, and finally to Korčula town. Take a walk through the wonderful old town with its narrow “fishbone-like” alleys. Overnight stay in Korčula town.Day 5: Island of Brač, 28 mi. (45 km)
Cruise to the island of Brač, famous for its radiant, precious limestone, which was used for the White House in Washington and the Reichstag building in Berlin. After an extended swim break followed by lunch, start your cycling trip descending into the town of Postira, and along the coastal road to the picturesque harbor town Pučišća. The lovely harbor is home to one of the most famous masonry schools in Croatia. The creations of the students decorate the harbor village. Overnight stay Pučišća.Day 6: City of Split (rafting in Omiš), 10 mi. (17 km)
By boat, you navigate to the city of Split. The old town of Split, built adjoining the famous palace of the Roman Caesar Diocletian, is a world heritage site. You have the choice either to take a bus transfer to go rafting through the Cetina Canyon (not included in the tour price) or to explore the wonderful Marjan Forest Park in Split by bike. The rafting group will be picked up from the boat by a bus and taken to Omiš for the excursion. From here they will follow the river downstream in the rafts gaining a unique perspective of the canyon and its flora and fauna. Participants of the rafting trip are brought back to the boat after the activity. Cyclists will enjoy a short but scenic bike tour through the green heart of Split accompanied by an extensive swim break at a local beach. In the afternoon, you can explore the bustling city of Split. Overnight stay in Split.Day 7: Island of Šolta, 12.5 mi. (20 km)
After crossing over to Rogač on the island of Šolta, your last cycle tour commences. Walled fields, numerous olive groves, locust beans, and fig trees line the roads. The herbal smell of rosemary accompanies us along our tour around the island. The boat awaits in Rogač as you enjoy one last crossing back to Trogir, If time permits, you can tour the old town, a world heritage site. Following tradition, your last evening is spent enjoying a cozy dinner and celebrating with the crew and tour guides.Day 8: Disembarkation in Trogir

Extra Info
Skill Level — Moderate
It is difficult to give e-bike tours a difficulty level! If you are booking this tour with an electric bike, the tour rating will depend on the amount of battery assistance you use. It could be easy, or it could be moderate to difficult! If you are booking this tour with a road or gravel, it will be moderate to difficult. The majority of the cyclists will be on e-bikes and will set the pace. On a non-electric bike, you will work much harder to keep up! Regardless, it is assumed that you already have the level of fitness acquired from steady cycling and that you have good balance and good control of the bicycle. Please note: Electric bikes are heavier than non-electric bikes. Participants will need to master long and steep climbs which present little or no problem with the use of the e-bikes. The tours will traverse heights of between 400 and 700m with daily distances ranging between 20 to 55 km through mountainous terrain. Tours can be completed without any time constraints. Streets are mostly asphalted with little traffic.
