Southern Dalmatia DLX 8-day Bike and Boat Tour
On this South Dalmatia Deluxe Bike & Boat tour, you discover the exceptional natural beauty of the South Dalmatian coastline and island world on board an elegant First Class motor yacht. Highlights such as Diocletians Palace in Split, the picturesque old town of Korčula and the lavender island Hvar combined with islands of simpler heritage, provides an unforgettable travel experience. A true cultural insight. This tour offers guests a PLUS all-round: a comfortable First Class motor yacht, unlimited e-bike availability, as well as some pleasant surprises along the way.
Deluxe ship: The deluxe ship is an elegant two-masted motor yacht that remains pleasantly steady even when sailing through heavier swells. On board you will find spacious guest cabins with air-conditioning and a personal shower/WC. The beautifully furnished saloon and bar as well as the covered aft deck are fitted out with comfortable seating areas. On the spacious sun deck, you will find deckchairs, enticing you to lie back, relax and enjoy the warm sea breeze.

Delicious cuisine is particularly important on this ship: The ship’s owner is a member of the cooking academy for traditional Dalmatian cuisine and the owner of a restaurant on the island of Hvar, known far beyond the borders of Croatia for its excellent dishes.

The Magellan/Croatia trip was great! Loved the boat & crew! Would recommend the excursion to anyone. Our guides Dora, Alan & Luka were gracious, approachable and experienced. Our bartender was always with a big smile and a generous hand. Our cabins were luxurious ( compared to those on barge boats). Every island is beautiful in its own way, and a visual and epicurean combination of Italy, Greece & Hungary! We went in mid-April - it's early before crowds - May 1st is probably the best time, still ahead of crowds and with beautiful sunny days! Just book it- thank me later! - April 2024
