What are the destinations on our route like?

With our luxury catamaran as home base, we’re free to roam Croatia’s sunny Dalmatian coast and hop between its most beautiful islands. Each day we explore new trails, towns, and hidden spots with two expert local guides and a skipper leading the way. Here are some of the places we’ll visit together. Trogir — A UNESCO-listed harbor town where medieval streets, St. Lawrence Cathedral, and the Kamerlengo Fortress set the scene. Ride easy coastal trails or playful singletracks with views of Romanesque, Renaissance, and Baroque landmarks—a perfect introduction to Dalmatia. Brač — The largest island in Central Dalmatia, blending big views and true backcountry charm. Beginners enjoy flowing scenic routes, while advanced riders tackle technical climbs to Vidova Gora. Descend past the cliff-carved Blaca Monastery and finish with a swim or cocktail at the iconic Zlatni Rat beach. Hvar — Settled by the ancient Greeks, Hvar offers lavender fields, sparkling coastlines, and trails for every skill level. Ride toward Stari Grad, sip wine in cliffside Sveta Nedjelja, and dive into Hvar’s legendary nightlife—all wrapped in stunning Mediterranean scenery. Vis — Once a closed military island, Vis invites you into its secret past. Explore WWII bunkers and underground tunnels, descend from Mount Hum through vineyards and stone walls, or follow peaceful shepherd’s paths across the island’s untouched interior. Omiš / Čiovo / Korčula — Omiš delivers everything from beginner-friendly trails to dusty ridge-line singletracks in a dramatic canyon landscape. Čiovo offers relaxed coastal riding and hidden coves perfect for swimming breaks, while Korčula brings forested trails, charming old towns, and vineyard views for a more cultural spin.

|October 2025

Out of all the places we have traveled, Croatia is one of our absolute favourites. I think the group got tired of me exclaiming “incredible! Beautiful! I love it here!” every single time we stopped to regroup. The coastlines, the buildings, the wine and the food, everything was so beautiful and so clean!

John R.

|October 2025

The beauty of the islands, the friendly people, being on the water, and above all the exhilarating rides made this the trip of a lifetime. Yes it’s very expensive, so I know how lucky we were to be able to do it, but the quality of the experience is extraordinary. Unlike a road bike tour, an MTB group on a trail needs to be fairly small if the experience.

Damian B.

|October 2025

The views and rides were beautiful. Living on the boat for a week was more comfortable and better than we expected.

Sailing and Mountain Biking in Croatia: Q&A With Ivo Jarić

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.

Biking and Sailing in Paradise: The Adriatic Like You’ve Never Seen it Before

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!
