Cycling & Island Hopping in South Dalmatia: From Split to Dubrovnik

Starting from the city of Split, where Roman emperors once reigned, get onboard a luxury yacht for an 8-day e-bike and boat tour. This is island hopping at its finest: you will visit five islands (Mljet, Vis, Korčula, Hvar, and Brač), and soak in its fascinating history, natural marvels, and local’s hospitality. Aboard the boat you will have numerous facilities and options, so it’s guaranteed you’ll never have a moment of boredom on this tour! The tour ends in Dubrovnik—if you’re a fan of the route you’ll be taking, and the dates don’t suit you, check out the other option, the one that departs from Dubrovnik and ends in Split.

Meet your guide and your team at the yacht in Split harbor between 2 and 2:30pm. By going on a guided city tour with your group, you will get the chance to see inside the former Palace of the Roman Emperor Diocletian and learn about its transformation into the city that it is today. The boat will remain docked in Split, giving you the opportunity to experience Split’s nightlife.
In the morning, we cruise to the island of Brač, famous for its radiant limestone, used in part for the White House in Washington and the German Reichstag building in Berlin. Once on Brač, we cycle from the picturesque harbor town of Pučišća, renowned for its stone masonry college, across the island to Bol. From there, we board the boat and set sail for Stari Grad on the island of Hvar, where we spend the night.

Distance: 14 miles (23 km)
Today’s cycling tour on the island of Hvar takes us from Stari Grad, through fragrant lavender fields and charming villages, to the island’s capital, Hvar. We admire the magnificent Renaissance Square and take in the view of the Spanish Fortress towering above the town. There’s time for a leisurely stroll through Hvar before we board the boat for our next journey. From Hvar, we sail to the island of Vis, where we spend the night.

Distance: 12 miles (22 km)
On the fourth day, we explore Vis, the most remote inhabited island off the Croatian mainland. Once a Greek colony called Issa, Vis was a military zone until 1995, closed to foreign visitors. Today, we have the chance to discover its beauty by bike. Starting from the town of Vis, we cycle around the entire island, stopping for coffee in the picturesque harbor of Komiža and possibly enjoying a traditional lunch along the way. After the ride, we board the boat and cruise to Vela Luka on the island of Korčula, where we spend the night.

Distance: 20 miles (32 km)
Today’s cycling tour takes us across the stunning island of Korčula, all the way to its charming capital. With a mild Mediterranean climate and diverse landscapes, the island offers breathtaking views—so be sure to take a break and soak in the deep blue sea and neighboring isles. Korčula town, known for its picturesque fishbone alleyways, is said to rival Venice as the birthplace of Marco Polo. In the evening, wander through its elegant streets and enjoy the lively atmosphere. A guided city tour provides insight into the town’s rich history and heritage.

Distance: 37.5 miles (60 km)
A leisurely morning cruise brings us to the harbor of Pomena on the lush island of Mljet, the most forested island in the Mediterranean. Mentioned in Homer’s *Odyssey*, Mljet is said to be where the nymph Calypso kept Odysseus enchanted for seven years. In the afternoon, we set off on a scenic ride that spans almost the entire length of the island. We then meet the boat in Sobra and cruise to the island of Šipan, where we spend the night.

Distance: 18 miles (33 km)
Šipan, the largest of the Elaphiti Islands, may be small in size but is full of charm—making it the perfect spot for our final bike tour of the week. After returning to the boat, we enjoy a relaxing cruise to our grand finale: the breathtaking city of Dubrovnik! Upon arrival, there’s plenty of time to explore this UNESCO World Heritage site and join a guided city tour. We wrap up our adventure with a joyful farewell dinner on board, celebrating an unforgettable week with fellow travelers and guides.

Distance: 7 miles (11 km)
After breakfast, it’s time to disembark the yacht until 9am. If you need any recommendations, your guides can arrange further explorations of Croatia! Just let us know if you’d like to prolong your tour.

During the day, you will cycle through these islands, go on guided city tours, and unwind in the Mediterranean sun and sea. Your home for the week is a luxury yacht with plenty of facilities and entertainment. Should the dates of this tour not suit you, and you already fell in love with the route, worry not.

Today is all about settling into vacation mode. We start the morning with breakfast and a relaxing cruise toward the island of Šipan, with a chance for a refreshing swim straight from the boat.

Distance: 7 miles (11 km)
A short morning cruise takes us to Sobra on the lush island of Mljet, the most forested island in the Mediterranean, with 70% of its land covered in woodland.

Our bike tour stretches nearly the entire length of the island, from Sobra to Pomena, where our ship awaits.

The descent into Stari Grad offers breathtaking views. After lunch on the boat, we enjoy a second, more leisurely ride to the town of Jelsa and back. Here, there’s time for an ice cream and coffee before we continue through the picturesque town of Vrboska and the ancient Greek plains, now a UNESCO World Heritage site, back to the artistic village of Stari Grad. We spend the night in Stari Grad.

Distance: 12 miles (20 km) + 12 miles (20 km)

Early bird booking

Want to be the first one to know when we publish new dates or secure your spot well in advance? Select a future month that suits you best and lock in your early bird spot in time with just a 10% deposit.

As soon as our guides publish new tour dates, you’ll be the first one to know. We’ll hold your spot for 2 weeks until you choose the date that suits you best.

More about how early bird bookings work below:
- - Only a 10% non-refundable deposit must be paid upon booking, but this deposit can be transferred to any other 57hours adventure in case the dates don’t end up working for you.
  - Once our guides publish new tour dates, we’ll reach out to you so you’ll be the first one to choose from newly released dates.
  - When you pick your date, you’ll confirm your booking by paying another 20% of the total trip amount (amounting to the standard 30% deposit).
  - Once the trip has been confirmed, the regular cancellation policy (found above) applies.
  - The remaining balance is due 90 days before the trip.
