Cycling tours through hilly to mountainous terrain with some steeper ascents of up to approximately 400 meters. Requires confident riding on winding descents, uneven asphalt, and occasionally gravel paths. Suitable for experienced cyclists accustomed to longer daily stages. There are no designated bike paths in Dalmatia, so the bike tours take place on public roads, preferably on quiet side streets
Safe cycling skills and familiarity with road traffic are prerequisites for taking part in our tours. Anyone renting an e-bike should already have experience and be confident in handling e-bikes, as these bikes are significantly heavier and faster than conventional bikes.
At 32 x 7.6 m the elegant two mast motor yacht was launched in 2007 and combines seafaring romanticism with modern day amenities. Above all, the captain is proud of keeping his boat looking elegant and smart. Both the salon and outer decks have upscale facilities and have been furnished with great attention to detail. The 16 air-conditioned guest cabins are spacious and include a shower and WC.
We believe that only children in a good physical condition and with a minimum age of 10 and previous bicycle tour experience are able to master the cycle tours on their own strength. Please note that the minimum height for a rental bike is 1.20 m (4 ft.) for hybrid bicycles and 1.50 m (4.5 ft.) for e-bikes. Helmets must be worn by all children up to age 16 in Croatia
