The meals on the boat (thank you, Chef and Sous Chef!) and the bike rides (thank you, Kristofer and Petra!). The e-bikes made the hills easy and I felt as if I could go all day. The meals were amazing! I enjoyed every course of every one. I especially appreciated the guides on our rides who rode at the front and back, making sure we took as long as we needed and letting nobody get left behind. They provided tremendous peace of mind, allowing us to enjoy the ride and not worry about problems.

This boat and bike cruise was a great experience. It was well organized with guides for the biking and town tours. The onbooard temperance was also so pleasant with us meeting aome great people as well as kind, helpful staff, delicious food, and a schedule that allowed for rest in between the biking and town touring. I'll definitely look to do this again.

This tour was fantastic! I’ve never done a tour before, preferring to follow my whims when traveling. I enjoyed it so much I’m planning to do it again in future.

The trip was great. I appreciated the small boat (33 guests vs. the 100+ on a previous trip down the Danube). The staff was attentive and always friendly. The destinations were perfect even when we had some weather to deal with.
Overall I would highly recommend this bike/boat trip to anyone who asks.

The rides were phenomenal… Would have loved to have slowed down a little to enjoy the scenery, but the scenery was spectacular. The food on the boat was unbelievable! The chefs did a wonderful selection of diverse foods. Our guides were very good and competent.

The trip was well- organized. A detailed itinerary was sent prior to boarding and it provided adequate information re: what to expect on a daily basis and what equipment was required. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly. The staff on board the boat were also friendly and responded quickly to requests. The food was great with adequate portions for all. The bikes were well taken care of and in good shape. Prior to the trip, staff from TripSite provided quick responses to questions. You could easily do this trip on a normal bike if in good physical shape. The optional guided tours at various ports were informative and added value to the trip. There was enough downtime each day as we travelled to new ports.

The food was delicious and the chef had vegan options for us each day. My favorite part was riding each morning and then coming back to the ship to a nice meal. Even though it was mid October, we enjoyed several "cold plunge" dips in the Adriatic Sea which helped alleviate sore muscles..

The tour is a great way to see the charm and beauty of both the Adriatic sea and small historic ports of the Croation Islands.

Camaraderie among the bikers from many different countries was wonderful. The scenery was beautiful. The guides were great. The food was delicious.
It would have been nice if the bikes either included different sizes or were more adjustable....as a short person, I would have liked to have been able to bring the handlebars closer to me.
Food: it would have been nice if there had been a greater variety of bread options. Also...maybe add some snack options for the daytime and for biking, like granola bars and crackers, etc.

The whole trip was wonderful. The guides and boat staff, the boat (nicer than expected), the scenery (gorgeous), the bikes, the guided tours of the towns, and the camaraderie among the guests. My only recommendations are that: on some days, the bike rides could have been longer (it’s too beautiful not to ride a bit longer); and the kitchen staff, which did a great job overall, could do better to accommodate vegetarians.

It's almost impossible to pick one item as most memorable, everyday was a great day on and off the cycles. The boat itself was very nice along with the crew.

This was truly a trip of a lifetime! From the beginning Carla was fantastic and helpful. She had so much to deal with coordination during Covid and did a spectacular job. Everything was perfect. Most of the guests on this boat were seasoned travelers, and we were all blown away by this trip. Our boat was lovely and comfortable. The crew was amazing! They worked so hard to make this the most out of everyday. The food was fantastic, the bikes were very easy to work. Our guides, Ana and Christopher were beyond compare, so knowledgeable about the country and it’s history and altogether made for an absolutely wonderful trip! I will highly recommend your company to anyone!

The hospitality of the crew, especially our tour guides Ana and Kristofer, was above and beyond excellent!! No need went unmet, their knowledge of every place we went along with all of the history was impressive! Suggestion…make sure you have padded bike shorts!

The relationships that we have built on several trips offered by tripsite with the passengers, guides and crew make me excited in anticipation for the next experience. Bike riding to see highlights of the area, city tours by the crew and sampling local cuisine are presented so well.

This was the trip of a lifetime. Ana and Kristofer were the best guides! I couldn’t imagine Croatia without them. The boy crew was equally amazing. I would return over and over year after year.

this trip along with the four others we have taken through tripsite have been the best trips of our lifetimes. Our travel experiences with tripsite started off with five couples sharing the boat with others and has ended up on our fourth trip with 17 couples and taking the entire boat. The way the trips are organized the scenery the history the guides the food and all the activities are unmatched to anything i have experienced. i’m an international flight attendant for 35 years so that is saying a lot. I cannot say any more than these trips have been unmatched by anything I have done in my life of travel. Croatia never disappoints and everything else that goes along with the destination is THE BEST TRIP OF A LIFETIME!!!
Anyone can do these trips but please make sure you get an E bike. I am someone who never exercises and had no trouble with the mountains and hills in southern Croatia and Greece and northern Croatia. Belgium was flat but i still got an ebike. PLEASE TAKE THIS TRIP SOON! I PROMISE you will schedule another!!!

We really enjoyed the biking tour we did in Sept 2021. We could not think of One memorable part of the tour.... we really loved all the great views along the way, the e-bikes were great for all the hills in Croatia. Some of our fellow travelers did not rent an e-bike but a hybrid and I give them a lot of credit. The crew on the boat were all very nice and friendly, our tour guide was Kristofor and he was fabulous! He was so knowledgeable, patient, humorous, and had musical talent. He did a great job! Roger was his assistant and he was very friendly and humorous. We enjoyed all the food on the boat! The food was served family style and my only suggestion would be not too eat too much of the delicious food they serve a the table! I gained 5 lbs. Enjoy!

Definitely the most memorable part of the trip was the guide, Ana. She was animated, personable, helpful and beyond knowledgeable about the places we visited. I also enjoyed the other guide, Tara who was also very special. I wish there were additional chances to cycle once we reached the towns as I think some of the group were interested in two cycles per day.

The Andela Lora is a beautiful boat with a great crew. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. The IslandHopper tour guides were very accommodating and fun to be with. Strongly recommend using the Ebike for this tour and make sure to take advantage of the multiple chances to swim off the back of the boat!

This trip was by far, the best trip of my life! The boat, the Andela Lora, and our room, were comfortable and clean. The crew were very friendly and knowledgeable about Croatia and the routes we took. The food was very delicious-neither my husband nor I had a bad meal! The biking and the routes were beautiful!! With the ebike, we had the option to make it a hard ride if we wanted, but could master the hills and keep up with the ebike options. We swam almost every day off the boat, enjoyed spectacular views along our routes and while sailing, and enjoyed the tours of the towns. Our bike guides, Kristopher and Mario, were fanastic! We definitely will do another boat/barge tour with Inselhuepfen!! Our agent with Tripsite, Claudia, was also fanastic! She answered all our questions promptly, made the transfers and reservations we needed. It made the whole experience so easy!! If I could give both the Inselhuepfen and Tripadvisor 10 stars, I would!!
