  This sailing and e-bike holiday in Croatia’s south coast is suitable for cyclists with a good basic level of fitness. The tours and elevation gain are very manageable with an e-bike. You can expect between 20-60 km (12.5-40 miles) with 400-700 m (1,310-2,300 ft) of elevation gain per day.

  The riding pace is determined by cyclists on e-bikes. Should you take part in this tour on a gravel bike, you should have the necessary physical condition to keep up with this pace.

  Only children with a good physical condition and previous bicycle tour experience and a minimum age of 10 can join. Please note that the minimum height for a rental e-bike is 1.50 m (4’9”). Follow-me bikes, bike seats, and bike bungees can also be hired for accompanying children. For more information about your child joining, please contact us.

• What about the bikes, can I bring my own?

  Due to safety regulations on the ship, it is not allowed to bring your own e-bike. By renting it with your guides, you will get high-quality, fully serviced rental bikes perfect for the terrain of this tour. You can bring your own bike seat and pedals, guides will be happy to assist you in attaching these to your rental bikes. You can rent e-bikes or gravel-bikes at checkout.

  It is not advisable to bring your own tour bike, as the pace is oriented towards e-bike riders. If you want to bring your own bike on the trip, it’s recommended you bring a sporty bike that meets the technical requirements to keep up the pace with the higher speed of e-bikes. In addition, your bike will need to have good tires (e.g. Gravel Bike or Cyclocross Bike). Before traveling, please check the condition of brakes, gears, and tires as well as bringing repair kits and essential spare parts (e.g. inner tube). Your bike must be in top technical condition. Please keep in mind that transporting your own bike will result in additional costs when flying.

  Helmet wearing is mandatory and it’s recommended you bring your own, well-fitted helmet. Rental helmets are available, but in a limited capacity, so reservation is required should you need it.
