Jelena Rončević

Born and raised in the beautiful town of Šibenik, Jelena became a physiotherapist and started guiding MTB tours in 2017. Over the years, in addition to mountain biking on the Dalmatian islands, she developed a passion for hiking — she wanted to offer her guests exclusive destinations, best trails for hiking and the most beautiful coves for swimming, and combine it with her physiotherapist services, creating the hike & sail adventures along the Croatian coast. She combined her desire to help people and her love for nature as a hiking guide, passing on her knowledge about Croatia and a healthy lifestyle to her guests.

Ivo Jarić

Ivo Jarić, born and raised in Zagreb, Croatia’s capital, has been working as a bike guide since 2016. Though not originally from the coast, Ivo shares a special bond with Croatia's gorgeous coastline, and leads MTB and cycling tours there. In his free time, he's out traveling and enjoying life with his mountain-biking wife, scouting out new locations, and planning new custom trips.

Ivan-Duran Hinić

Dentist by profession, trailblazer by passion. Since childhood, Ivan’s trusty mountain bike has been his key to unlocking new worlds beyond the confines of his town. Entire Europe is his playground (Croatia, Austria, Italy, France, Greece… you name it), racking up adventures across the continent. Enduro racing (even at some famous events like Megavalanche) offered a challenge, but competition never truly captivated him. What truly fuels his passion are epic rides, capturing breathtaking photos, and sharing the journey (along with local cuisine and wine!) with friends.
