Croatia isn’t just a vacation spot – it’s a land of opportunity. Many visitors choose to roam through ancient walled cities like Dubrovnik, a testament to empires of old. Others head to the national parks, with cascading waterfalls and emerald forests. Even more enjoy island hopping across a staggering 1,000 islands, each with its own hidden cove and pristine beach. Croatia isn’t just for beach bums (although the beaches are incredible!); It’s a playground for adventurers of all levels. You can hike through the majestic Plitvice Lakes National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can paddle to hidden coves on the lavender-scented island of Hvar. You can cycle the dramatic coastline of Istria, stopping for fresh truffles and breathtaking views. And we’ve just scratched the surface! Feeling overwhelmed by the possibilities? Don’t worry! Our FREE WEBINAR hosted by a local guide will equip you with all you need to plan your dream Croatian adventure. Discover the coolest spots to see & activities to try, must-see sites, must-visit restaurants, must-sample wine, and more! Ready to unlock the magic of Croatia? Register today!

Croatia is a Mediterranean MTB mecca.  Between the fast downhills of Brač, the flowy up-and-downs of Vis, and the epic enduro rides of Omiš, riders of all levels can find a trail to fit their tastes, emboldened by fascinating culture and world-class cuisine.  The Croatian coast is best biked by sailboat. Combining sailing and mountain biking means seamlessly moving from island to island, avoiding the summer crowds, and resting from the rides on the open seas, lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves. However, the logistics behind an island-hopping MTB vacation can be overwhelming. From finding a sailboat and skipper to picking the right trails for your group, you’ll need the help of someone who knows what they’re doing.  This is why we’ve brought in a pro. Ivo Jarić is a local expert and passionate MTB guide who’s tried all the top trails in Croatia. In his free Q&A session, he will share his top tips for mountain biking in his homeland, including the must-try trails, the most scenic routes, and insider tips for making the most of your ride.  By the end, you’ll know why sailing and mountain biking are a match made in heaven, and why this unique trip deserves a spot on your bucket list.

In Croatia, every island tells a different story, and some of the best ones unfold right on the MTB trails. On the island of Brac, a speedy singletrack passes an abandoned monastery and opens into a pristine sandy beach, with turquoise waters as far as the eye can see. On the island of Hvar, a switchback trail dating back to ancient Greece is engulfed by the intense aroma of thyme, salt and the soft song of crickets. From leg-burners between post-WWII bunkers to loops around Roman bath houses—riding these trails feels like a journey through time. MTB guide, bike mechanic, and tour logistician Ivo Jaric has guided mountain biking enthusiasts of all skill levels since 2016. Although he was born in the continental city of Zagreb, Ivo shares a special bond with the Adriatic coast. He enjoys sharing his love for these slivers, slips, cliffside monoliths and white-pebble blips with anyone who’s interested. Let’s pump the breaks here. If you wish to learn how a bike ride can tell a thousand years of history, how an abandoned farmer’s walkway can become a world-class trail, and how Croatia blends Mediterranean serenity with an Ibiza-esque party attitude, check out this free webinar!
