Croatia Bike + Boat Tour Reviews — 1 to 30 of 668

The trip overall was excellent! The professionalism and organization of the cycling guides was first rate. The bicycles were in excellent shape and very well suited to this trip. The food on board was excellent and the bar/wait staff were first rate and very professional. The tour guides provided for the city walking tours were excellent.

My comments are as follows:

when anchoring for a swim, there should be a life preserver/throwing equipment to assist swimmers who may be in distress. Also, I would recommend ensuring that guests understand if there is a strong current at a swimming location.

As there was gravel involved, and some technical sections, I think some of the guests might benefit from a little cycling lesson, to assist them riding in the gravel properly and understanding the appropriate gear to be in for these conditions. Along the lines of a group ski lesson that you might take at a ski resort, for a bit of a refresher.

Also, I think it would be helpful. If the tipping directions were a little more clear, as the direction we received from our trip preparation package was for a lump sum tip, and when we were on board, we were told there would be two envelopes, provided , one to tip the staff on the boat, and one for the cycling guides.

Quite an amazing trip. Such beautiful sites each day. Each of the islands was different treasure of beauty. The employees were sitting helpful and pleasant to be with.

Bike rides and fabulous views and sites as we toured the islands

The culmination of this trip was when our guide brought us high up onto the hillside, on our second to last day, and as we descended, we could see every town and island we had just cycled. It was very moving to look down on the geography of the area, the water ways, the islands, the bridges and cliffs.

Our guides, Dharma and Petra were the best. They gave clear orientation talks each day, kept us all safe, introduced us to amazing vistas, towns and villages. Best of all, they were FUN and facilitated a group of strangers to become a bicycling TEAM !
Also, the crew on the boat were wonderful. Roko, Domagoj, Jure, Darko (our waiter and Batman) Sonja and Miroslav( the chefs ) and Edi, the Captain.

Excellent guides, lots of information and history. Beautiful biking, e bikes wonderful

Beautiful scenery, quality bikes and guides, very nice boat and great crew

Only downside was a large amount of the biking was on gravel roads which should have been made very clear. Original information just said some gravel riding. If you weren’t a very experienced gravel rider the rides were difficult. We have done 2 other bike and boat rides through TripSite and neither had any significant gravel riding. Do to the difficulty I skipped 2 of the rides which was really disappointing.

Beautiful boat with competent and friendly Captain and staff. Great e-bikes and guides were fantastic.. Great food and beverages, beautiful ports, and an overall perfect vacation. Thanks to Carla Sprout and her staff we were able to Charter the Bellezza for 27 friends and all called it a trip of a lifetime. Even our two non-bikers had a blast and our group is planning another cruise in 2027.

I loved the guides, crew, boat and guests. Croatia is beautiful and the biking was wonderful!

This was an amazing trip. The guides were very knowledge and enthusiastic. The boat and the crew were excellent and the food was wonderful (too much food!).

Together, the camaraderie that developed, the amazing vistas we got to see, and the history we learned about the Dalmatian area all made this a memorable trip.

A friend went on a similar tour the week after ours. One of their guides got amazing drone footage that really captured their adventure. If this could be added to this trip it would literally knock this tour out of the park.

This was an unbelievable and unforgettable trip at every level! The Bellezza is a beautiful yacht that cruises calmly and quietly through the beautiful Croatian water! The Captain and the Crew provide genuine customer care from the navigation and mooring, to the outstanding housekeeping services, and the Food and Beverage staff with the outstanding meals and beverage services. The Bike Tour Guides provided exceptional tour leadership that ensured safety and tons of fun!

We really enjoyed our bike and barge thru the Dalmatian Islands. Tripsite was very helpful and great communicators.
Boat was beautiful, clean and comfortable. Bikes were in excellent condition, shout out for the e-bikes, couldn’t have done it without them!
Guides were great communicators, guardians and cheerleaders. It was great to have a plan mapped out each morning and evening. We saw unbelievable sights, enjoyed our companions and learned a lot!
Would highly recommend this route and we hope to do another trip next year.

Overall the trip was wonderful but I only got to ride the bikes one day. You incorrectly described the biking as easy/ moderate. After booking and paying for plane tickets, right before we left, I got information describing the biking as 4/5. I would not have booked this trip if I had known it was not easy. Some other passengers and the guides were also upset. It put us all in a difficult/ dangerous position. I would appreciate a response concerning this matter. Thank you.

We absolutely LOVED this trip! We've done other boat and bike tours before, but this particular trip added another dimension of island hopping and cruising on the open water as well. To visit six islands that while similar all have their own character, and to share the experience in such a small group was so much fun. The island terrain was challenging but the e-bikes made it so manageable. We loved the experience of each day a new adventure, with the evenings in a different port and having the opportunity to wander and explore. Our guides Ana and Mateo were so enthusiastic and full,of energy they brought such fun to the trip. And with their love of their country and their guiding we learned so much about the beautiful,country of Croatia. The captain and the crew were outstanding! I'm sold on the island hopping experience for future biking trips!

The Bellezza is a beautiful and spacious boat with a very professional and helpful staff who all made the week wonderful. Each day was different and each bike ride was fantastic. The Captain of the Bellezza continuously ensured that weather would not hinder our biking and made appropriate adjustments when needed (high winds expected one day). The two bike guides were fantastic and worked well together.

For our Intrepid group that bicycles once a year on an overseas trip this was a dream come true! The yacht is just as great as it looks in the pictures. The e-bikes were fantastic the bike leaders were great and the staff on the ship were terrific. Although we did not realize how much Croatia has been found by tours it is still a beautiful country. Very much worth the price.

For me, this trip was the perfect blend of biking, island exploration, and time spent enjoying one of the most beautiful, immaculate, and comfortable boats imaginable.

The crew was efficient, accommodating, and attentive throughout the journey. The food was delicious and plentiful, with multiple courses at dinner and wonderful desserts. The breakfast buffet offered something for everyone.

The bikes were well maintained and ready each day for our rides. If you've ridden a bike before, you should have no trouble handling the hills with the e-bikes. Each day brought scenery more beautiful than the last. Croatia is a stunning country and should be on everyone's travel list.

The coordination between Tripsite and Island Hopping Bike Tours was seamless. We were fortunate to have perfect weather, great travel companions, and two exceptional guides, Ana and Tara. They were knowledgeable, funny, organized, hardworking, and a genuine pleasure to be around. They truly were the frosting on the cake of an already wonderful trip.

The food was very simple and the tour , very fast , all the Guides run a lot , we donn't have time to stop , take photos. The scenery was beautiful, but we couldn't enjoy it while cycling. The tour of the Netherlands and Germany was much more pleasant. But the boat's crew was very friendly.

Our recent bike/boat tour on the Harmonia was absolutely amazing. Croatia has been on our bucket list for years and this trip was all we hoped it would be. The Dalmatian islands and all the seaside towns just take your breath away. Our guides Mirta and Max were fun, super-competent and conscientious as they seamlessly herded us all up and down the hills of Dalmatia.
The captain and crew kept us on schedule and the boat was spotless and beautiful. The amazing cooks and the lovely Ivona who ran the dining room whipped up meal after delicious meal with such efficiency and heart. We will always remember our tour as one of the best trips we’ve ever taken.

The two guides were wonderful. They played off each other perfectly.

Swimming off boat, only offered once and would have like to do it daily.. great way to break ice and get to know folks.

Awesome tour of the Dalmatian Coast plus some biking! We loved the gentle rides, the boat was fantastic and the crew was fun and knowledgeable. We live Ana and Tara. The bikes were well maintained.

Make sure you are an experience biker as the level was listed as moderate but it was definitely advanced.
Didn’t enjoy the e-biking part at all and would not recommend it. Most people in the group didn’t enjoy it. Also many issues with e-bikes.

The Old Cities were fabulous as well as the National Park.
Mostly, we enjoyed the activities and how we were busy all day. The food on the boat and the crew are commendable.
We used regular touring bikes where the overall majority of tourers had peddled assist. Some of the hills were challenging but we enjoyed the exercise and the group waited for us at the top of the hill. Unless you are in good physical condition, suggest peddle assist. It was great to meet folks from US (all over), Canada and Europe (Germany, Austria, Switzerland)

The islands we visited were breathtaking. We had such a wonderful time getting to know the other passengers on the ship. The guides and crew were professional and charming. My only regret was that the food was so good I gained 3 pounds in one week!

The planning and seamless adjustments were the most remarkable part. I travel frequently and plan my excursions but I couldn't have accomplished this, with adjustments for weather.

The best part was meeting others from different countries of the world and sharing an amazing experience together and enjoying stories from one another and learning the different cultures and dishes from all of them. Including the locals there in Croatia brought us home as family and we shared food and enjoyed each other's company. Will definitely be back ! So many islands to visit.

The Boat was great. the crew made the experience exceptional. The food was fantastic and our guides made the trip.
