  You will need to be able to bike between two and six hours, depending on the routes you and your guide choose. After booking, your guide will determine the group’s skill level and capabilities and cater the day to your specific abilities. Keep in mind that opting for the longer routes means more biking, which is strenuous even if you stay on the easier trails.

  This adventure is meant for riders with some experience who are confident in their abilities. You will need to be able to tackle most regular obstacles on a trail, such as berms, small tables, gaps, or drops. You will progress at a level that is consistent with your comfort. This tour provides the ideal opportunity to take your mountain biking skills to a new level.

• Getting there and meeting location

  To get to Omis, most people fly into Split International Airport half an hour away. From there, you can rent a car, or take a bus or cab to Omis.
