Day 1 (Saturday): Embarkation in Trogir | Trogir - Hvar Island by boat
Individual arrival to Split airport which is about 3.5 mi./6 km away from the harbor of Trogir. Check-in on the boat is between 2-2:30 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 (Sunday): Island of Hvar (12.5 mi/20 km)
After breakfast wes set off on a bike tour from Stari Grad to the capital city of Hvar. We will 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 (Monday): 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 we have the opportunity to explore the lovely island by bicycle. After cycling the boat takes us to the Island of Korčula. Overnight stay in Vela Luka.
Day 4 (Tuesday): Island of Korčula (37.5 mi/60 km)
Today we discover the island of Korčula by bicycle and enjoy our lunch break 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. Our cycle tour leads us via the village of Blato, like Rome, built on seven hills, along a pass road across Pupnat bay and finally to Korčula town, where we have time to take a walk through the wonderful old town with its narrow “fishbone like” alleys. Overnight stay in Korčula town.
Day 5 (Wednesday): Island of Brač (17 mi/27 km)
Today we 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, we start our cycling trip in Sumartin, leading us to Selca and on to the picturesque harbour 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 (Thursday): Omiš - Split (27 mi/44 km)
Enjoy breakfast as we sail a short crossing to Omiš. Today you have the choice between taking part in a bike tour around the Cetina Canyon or participating in a rafting excursion down the Cetina River (not included in the tour price). The bike tour takes you once around the outskirts of the canyon, with great views over the river and back down towards the sea. The rafting group will be picked up from the boat by a bus and taken up river to the starting point. From here we 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 on the bus after the activity. In the afternoon our ship takes us to Split. The old town of Split, built adjoining the famous palace of the Roman Caesar Diocletian, is a world heritage site. Overnight stay in Split.
Day 7 (Friday): Island of Šolta (12.5 mi/20 km)
After crossing over to Rogač on the island of Šolta, we commence our last cycle tour. 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. Our boat awaits us in Rogač as we enjoy our last crossing back to Trogir where, if time permits, we will tour the old town, a world heritage site. Following tradition, our last evening is spent enjoying a cozy dinner and celebrating with your crew and tour guides.
Day 8 (Saturday) Disembarkation in Trogir
After breakfast, disembarkation until 9 am and individual trip home or extended stay in Dalmatia/Croatia.

The Melody boat was absolutely spectacular- the crew, the food, the rooms and our outstanding tour guides, Toni and Willi. The riding and the islands were fabulous. Ensure you take the advice for an e-bike. The KMs may not seem high, but they have a lot of long steep hills, which I loved and it gave everyone a great workout to enjoy the delicious food.
We had lots of great daily swim stops, with the ability to dive in off the back of the boat.
I highly recommend this trip!!!

What an amazing trip, boat and crew!!! This is a high end boar with great cabins and dining experience. It is most suited to people over 16, and the cycling has quite a lot of climbing at 10% incline. The company recommends e-bikes for this trip. Whilst I completely rejected the idea of an e-bike before I left, but by day 3, I had to use one due to the terrain and heat.
The highlight apart from everything above, was our two tour guides, Toni and Willi. I have done many similar trips but both guys were beautiful, humble, informative about their country, and do passionate about their customers. If you get the opportunity to do this trip, I say - Just do it. Thanks, Team Melody

Our ship, the Melody, couldn't have been better, and far surpassed my expectations both in the quality of the ship, and in the amount of room. We had friendly and knowledgeable guides (Tony & Josh) and the food was SO good. Every meal was prepared using fresh and local ingredients and the ship staff did a wonderful job of trying to introduce the guests to local recipes, telling us a bit about each dish before we ate. It couldn't have been any better all around, and I am booking again on the same trip.
The one recommendation I would have for anyone going on this tour, is bring some laundry detergent some and clothespins. We did our own laundry and hung it out on the deck.

There is a reason why the default bicycle on the Southern Dalmatia Plus trip is an e-assist model; the islands of Croatia are very hilly! The e-assist made it easier for me to stop on an uphill, take photos of fellow riders or the amazing scenery, get re-started easily, and make it to the top without holding up the whole group. Everyone, from the guides and crew on board to the locals in cafes and restaurants, was very friendly, helpful, and willing to speak English for the benefit of us uni-lingual folks!

Food was ok but not great. A little more variety and quality with a little less quantity would go a long ways to correcting this.

Croatia/Dalmatian Coast and islands are a beautiful vacation destination that we highly recommend. However the roads, lack of a shoulder, narrow streets, and lack of safety make it a very difficult and unnerving biking destination. Bikers need to fully understand that this area is not bike friendly.

Hi Robert!
Thanks for sharing this feedback. You are right that parts of the tour the shoulder and streets can be narrow. This is very common in this part of Europe. I can assure you that we take safety very seriously and work with our local partners to provide cycling routes with your safety in mind. You will also find the terrain and difficulty rating described on this tour page. Both should be taken into consideration when evaluating this tour. Glad you had an enjoyable and safe trip!

Electric bikes, the black ones, were excellent. The food was a bit disappointing.
The guides were excellent. Cabin was very nice.

I unfortunately had a back spasm during the trip and needed to be on land half way through the trip, so I had to get off the barge. (Croatia trip) the captain offered to give up his room so I could stay upstairs- so nice- but I needed to be on stable land. ( weather was a bit rough) the entire trip was so nice- would have loved to finish the trip. The crew was wonderful!

Some issues with our room. We booked a room with two twin beds. We got a room with a double bed and bunk beds. The double bed broke the first night. It actually came apart because a brace had fallen off. Our phone charger was broken while trying to fix the bed. Our door lock malfunctioned locking us out of our room for two hours, and was difficult to use the rest of the trip. We asked for the phone charger to be replaced, but never got an answer.
