This trip exceeded any expectations I may have had. The gorgeous scenery that I encountered the wonderful little towns, and the road trips on our bikes were all beautiful. Our cruise ship the Belza was stunning. The staff were wonderful. The meals we had were out of this world and our tour guides were just fantastic. I think this was a triple lifetime, and I know if I took another one it would not live up to the experience that I had also, there were 30 of us on this boat and everyone just enjoyed one other’s company so much. I loved everything about this trip. Thank you so much.

What a fun adventure! The boat was always very smooth, food was always excellent, biking was a huge bonus, typically followed by a great lunch and then tootling around the next gorgeous island marina in search of the next beautiful pics… and a cold beverage! Stellar 4-course dinners with like-minded adventurist was always a great way to cap-off the day! Guides and crew were all top-notch! Just got back home and already seeking out our next trip!

The island rides were fabulous, through the interiors, along the waterfronts and through the olive groves and vineyards. The rides were well organized, the guides excellent, and the insight into the topography and history informative.

The Bellezza was impressive and immaculately maintained and loved by the lovely Captain and crew. There was space for everyone looking for a bit of me/us time; the bikes and rides were fabulous and well organised, thanks to Dominic & Martina; we loved the swim stops (boat needs a few more noodles); the meals were terrific; the jacuzzi was great; we had a great time thank you.

Most memorable for me was how beautiful Croatia was. I really liked the palace in Dubrovnik with its marble roads, the beauty of the islands, and swimming in the Adriatic Sea every day.
I also loved being with a small group. Our group really gelled and we had so much fun together.

There was one 10% downhill during the 38 mile bike ride that I did not enjoy and found very frightening. It was almost straight down the hill with hairpin turns. The road was quite narrow, and then a car came, which was very harrowing.

Beautiful boat with competent and friendly Captain and staff. Great e-bikes and Island Hopping 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.

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!

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.

This trip was beyond everything we expected - the people, the crew, the boat, the sites, the guides were all amazing. It is definitely worth having some extra time in both Split and Dubrovnik - beautiful spots. We liked the side trips that the guides planned - the winery, museum and village tour - great surprises.
