The boat was handsome and comfortable. The food was delicious. The crew was responsive and funny and kind. And the islands were a sight to behold.

This holiday was a total knock out and far exceeded my expectations. Our two guides, Marin and Mila, were fantastic. They are both passionate about: cycling, Croatian history and maintaining the authentic side of Croatia. Both had safety top of their list - even adapting rides for me as I am afraid of heights. The food was great and as much as I enjoyed the cycling - which was my main reason for booking this holiday - I also enjoyed all of the walks and talks on Croatian history. Without doubt I'll be back!

The crew was fantastic, the people that were guests were amazing, and the planning that went into making it all happen was incredible! We felt that the tour was very thoughtful and it made the most of what the weather and the islands had to offer. We have done the Sail Croatia tour once before seven years previous to this trip. We felt just as good about it and that is why we returned.

We traveled with family and friends - everyone had a connection to at least one other person and my sister - the organizer - had done a cruise on the Mali Ante the year before, so certainly all of that familiarity contributed, but the trip was just a wonderful combination of exercise, relaxation, wonderful people, perfect weather and idyllic destinations. I don't remember ever being that relaxed and content.

- Debbie, 30/09/2024 18:12, Travelled with Family

The staff MADE the trip! Ivica, Andro, and Andres were wonderful. I will certainly ask to be on their boat when we book again😍

Great way to see the islands and the cycling is challenging. Cabin is very comfortable. Crew were extremely helpful and friendly. Guides were very engaging. Definitely recommend this if you come to Croatia.

- Gina, 09/09/2024 19:10, Travelled with Family

The itinerary, staff, accommodation and food were all great. The staff were very helpful and accommodating my gluten free diet. Visiting 4 islands was great. The option to have ebikes was good - especially in the heat. The organising of the sailing, where we stopped and the routes we covered on the bikes - were all very well planned out and explained to us every day in detail. The staff were very friendly. Had a fab holiday. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Sail Croatia

Most tourists to the Dalmatian islands most likely never make it past the coast and beaches. Yes, that area is stunning on most every island. But… seeing the interior of the island is equally as beautiful. Stone farmhouses nestled among vineyards and olive trees. Churches, Everyday life for the inhabitants. I am so glad I had the opportunity. But I won’t kid you… while it is beautiful, the hills are challenging! I was not prepared for how hard a 20 mile ride would be! Make sure you reserve an e-bike if you are the least bit uncertain. I would do this tour again. Absolutely. The crew was wonderful, the guides caring and amazing, the food on ship was great, and the ports we visited were everything and more than I expected. Totally worth it and I was sad when it was time to disembark the ship. : (

- Christine, 02/09/2024 10:36, Travelled Solo

From a click on google to a fabulous experience. Combining cycling with a cruise gives you the best of both. Explore the islands on bicycles allows you to see so much more of what a Croatia has to offer. The vessel, guides, crew and food were all excellent

- Kitty, 02/09/2024 08:12, Travelled with Family

We are usually very independent travelers. It was wonderful to have someone else do all the planning! It was a perfect way to vacation, meet other travelers, and enjoy everyday. Karolina & Ilona are the dynamic duo! A+ and a gold star!

The crew was fabulous. Very professional and hardworking. The Tour Guides were awesome. Very knowledgeable, friendly and made the experience enjoyable. The itinerary was well planned and worked well. The food was great, room was clean. I was traveling solo and was assigned a roommate which worked well. Met many wonderful people on board and felt like family at the end. I would definitely recommend.

- Karen, 02/07/2024 11:02, Travelled Solo

This was our first cycling trip and everything went smoothly. The ship was clean, the crew professional, and the bikes were excellent Our guides were outstanding. Mila and Marija were not just cycling guides but historians and helpful in every way. We were a group of 32 older folks, 50+ in age and they were able educate us, motivate us when we saw those big hills and narrow winding roads. They offered good suggestions for cafes, little known pieces of information about the villages and kept us all happy and safe. Highly recommend this route too as we got to see the most amazing scenery along the coast.

- Geramy, 24/06/2024 05:51, Travelled with Family

The 8-day sail and cycle cruise was excellent from beginning to end. All information communication, both on the website and in person, was clear and informative. Our guides, crew, and chef were friendly, fun, and helpful. The food was delicious. For breakfast, we had a great choice of food, and lunch and/or dinner were three courses. The bikes were well-maintained and great to ride. The riding was mostly on the road, with a guide in front and back. The guides were very experienced and safety conscious and made the experience personal. Hope to be returning to do another.

- Jenny, 20/06/2024 08:07, Travelled Solo

I had an incredible experience on the Emanuel ship during the Split to Dubrovnik cycle tour. The crew were top notch - always willing to answer the many questions the guests had, Very courteous and patient. We were treated so well and we were fed delicious food. The cycling portion was so fun. Our Lead Representative and Bike Tour leader, Dora, was excellent at providing information to us throughout the day regarding the bike routes, the timing of various stops along the way, and other useful information. Her local knowledge was particularly helpful when we were in the various ports. She kept us up to date on any schedule changes so that we were always in the know. Andro was our other Representative and Bike Tour Sub-leader and he was very knowledgeable about Croatian history, sharing information about each island we visited. He was always willing to answer questions from the group and help in any way he could. The boat was very comfortable and clean. I would highly recommend.

- Colette, 17/06/2024 19:46, Travelled Solo

This was my second leg of a 2 week trip. First of all, I can't thank Captain Ivan for a superb trip! He was very prompt and got us to our destinations with time to spare. The bikes were on and off the boat in 5 minutes and he got the best docking spots! Ivika and Marija were a great team. Every morning, Ivica did a briefing with an interactive map and his #1 concern was that we all were safe and together. The both made sure we saw everything that there was too see! Beyond fabulous! The food was fresh and delicious and the crew were very friendly and helpful. Olga & Paula were very attentive to all the guests and went out of their way to satisfy everyone's needs. The rooms were spacious and spotless. In conclusion, this crew was including guides were an outstanding team and I am doing this again next year for 2 weeks!

- SUSIE, 10/06/2024 08:16, Travelled Solo

Croatia is beautiful,, the guides were great and the boat was very clean. Food was good and there’s plenty of it!! Don’t be put off by the slightly cheaper rooms below deck. They have better sound proofing as some of the ports can be quite noisy.. There was a concert one night on the pier and I didn’t hear it in my cabin. Pack light as there’s not much storage. The cabins below deck could benefit from some extra hooks and shelves. A fantastic trip overall.

- Lesley , 10/06/2024 07:56, Travelled with Family

The crew on the Mali Luka were the the most gracious bunch of folks. They all worked so hard to make our trip enjoyable and fun! Dora and Anita were our guides. They kept us safe and together. Everywhere we visited on the bikes or by foot, they have us a bit of history about the region. The captain Ivan was a very capable and friendly guy. He got us everywhere we needed to be and was always on time. Olga and Paula were the most hardworking, friendly and courteous woman always ready to help you out with anything you needed. The rides everyday were safe and fun with some elevation. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a little adventure! I'm doing 2 weeks and it's been fantastic

- susie, 03/06/2024 04:52, Travelled Solo

Our Boat, Emanuel, was a top notch boat. It is an older boat that was beautifully restored and had a great crew and Captain. I loved that it was a family run boat and there was a lot of pride in taking are of it. Emanuel was spotless, had a hard working, friendly crew and timely wonderful meals. Our guides were spectacular and very attentive. I loved riding my e-bike daily through the beautiful islands of the Adriatic Sea. Our guide was very clear each day about the length and difficulty of the rides. I felt so comfortable that it was hard to leave. All in all, it was one of my favorite trips. Thank you Emanual!!

- Adrienne, 27/05/2024 15:40, Travelled with Family

The daily cycling routes through the beautiful Croatian islands and countrysides were incredible. Sailing to each island was a relaxing and wonderful experience. Our guides Karolina and Mila worked well with each other.. Karolina outlined our day efficiently and handled any issues or changes in the schedule with a sense of calmness and grace. Mila was passionate about sharing her wealth of information with the group. She has motivated me to research more about Croatia’s history when I get home. The crew on the boat were attentive and kept us comfortable and safe. Thank you SailCroatia for a memorable trip with our siblings.

I'm so glad I made the decision to join the cycle cruise. It was a beautiful experience in many ways: so many incredible views of turquoise water, olive orchards and terracotta villages... rewarding and well-planned cycle routes... lovely company along the way... delicious meals... and our comfortable boat home for the week. The full team hosting us was so well organised and friendly. I have no complaints and only a big smile when I think back on the experience.

- Kendrah , 18/05/2024 07:45, Travelled with Family

This was a trip of a live time! I selected this trip to celebrate my 60th birthday because I love to cycle. There were a couple of challenging rides with stunning views, so I'm glad I selected an e-bike. The crew and staff were outstanding. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. This was a great way to experience Croatia.

- Anonymous, 07/05/2024 13:05, Travelled with Family

seeing all the beautiful sights of Croatia was amazing and the ebike made it all possible. I would have loved a little book/hand out of our bike paths and information about the culture in each area-It's not easy to remember everything the guides tell us. The room did smell a bit which was unpleasant and I wish we could've opened the windows. I wish we had more leisure time to explore the little towns. I loved the free coffee drinks on board and the staff was great. Loved having this experience staying on a beautiful boat- thank you!

- Anonymous, 04/05/2024 13:27, Travelled with Family

My husband, siblings and I went on a sailing biking cruise to celebrate. We all bike ride at different riding abilities, and, prior to the trip, some of us were wondering about whether or not we could keep up with our fittest siblings and their spouses. Happy to say that with the option of riding the e-bikes, we all did well! Having a bike ride every day kept me feeling healthy during my vacation. The ship food was good, their coffee, excellent, and I liked not having to spend an additional 30 Euros to cover the cost of breakfast and lunch each day. During the cocktail and dinner hour, we were able to explore the villages and try the local food which was delicious! In terms of learning about a new part of the world, I had never considered visiting a country by bike. After riding through the small Croatian villages and mountains and having leisure time to explore the port towns and cities, I feel I know Croatia more intimately than I do other places I have visited!

- BJ, 01/05/2024 15:20, Travelled with Family

We loved the boat and the travel guides on our trip to Croatia. Our itinerary was well planned, and our cycling guides were experienced and have been doing this for many years. The kitchen catered to our dietary requirements, vegetarian and vegan. Thankyou Sam Croatia team

Cycling over the islands and sailing between is an incredible way to experience the unique and stunning beauty of such a fascinating country. From the guides, to the boat, to the food and the cycling routes, this tour was spectacular!

- Janelle, 30/04/2024 12:41, Travelled with Family

Beautiful biking routes through historic villages, olive groves, and pastural hillsides, to amazing viewpoints. Gorgeous views of the Adriatic Sea with its azure blue water, cliffs, and sea life. Lovely beaches, cafes, art exhibitions, wine tasing, and amazing meals both onboard, and in the towns. Outstanding service from the crew, the guides, and the island hosts. The comraderie of the cyclists was a highlight. So much fun! Probably one of our best holidays ever.

- Janice, 29/04/2024 20:47, Travelled with Family

Great trip and experience and unique way to see all that Croatia and the Islands offer. The food onboard was generous and fresh and satisfying. The routes were gorgeous with views you can't beat. Pros- Kind and knowledgeable guides, beautiful routes, plentiful food Cons- the room was not clean with belongings left in the cabinets from other passengers (staff?). There was a horrendous smell of sewage that made the toilet/shower in the room difficult to use. I've sailed on boats in the past and never experienced an odor like that in the past. There was hair left on the floors in the room and bathroom. Time at night on the islands was limited as one night they said we would be docked too far back which kept us from access to the main port (well over 1 mi walk over rocky and dark terrain). Changed itinerary due to weather prevented advertised bay swims and less time to enjoy ports. I often felt we has a short time to see sights (less than 30 minutes most days).

- Leslie, 02/10/2023 14:28, Travelled Solo

When you travel and are doing rigorous exercise everyday in the heat more than a two towel per week seems necessary. Also the towels were all very old. The bedding needs more frequent changing. The bike ride difficulty needs more specific disclosure. Three hours in the saddle is a long time. Provide beach towels, more fresh vegetables. Also snacks for long hard rides, the riders without e bikes could have used it.

- Jayne, 25/09/2023 01:15, Travelled with Family

The beauty of the Croatian islands and the extreme clarity of the surrounding waters are well-known. What made this holiday so outstanding was the easy access it provided to all this beauty. We were taken to such perfect locations, enabled to swim in the stunning blue depths of the open sea, handed great bikes to explore with and guided to all the ‘best bits’. Our bike guide Marin was extraordinarily knowledgeable and passionate about the history and environment and the sail Croatia agent Lola was competent, calm and friendly, My only wish would be for a similar experience to be available for solo travellers.

- Miranda, 18/09/2023 05:43, Travelled with Family

The cycling guide Marin, and tour host Lola, worked hard to make sure we had a wonderful visit. Marin lead us on fun cycling tours of islands, and he was very mindful of our safety. Both Marin and Lola shared information about the history, culture and sites at each island, including recommendations for wonderful restaurants. The captain and crew of the Emmanuel also took great care of us.

We had a great week with Lola and Marin on the lovely boat Emmanuel. The whole crew was so helpful and patient, the bike rides were safe and well organized, and the scenery was out of this world. Meals were well made, even for my vegetarian requests. Would highly recommend Sail Croatia snd the Emmanuel crew!

- Sally, 11/09/2023 06:58, Travelled with Family

I should have ridden on an e-bike instead, even though I ride a bike regularly I was not prepared for the challenge of riding the climbs. The guides were extremely supportive and patient with me on this trip. The islands were great to explore on a bike ride, as the scenery was amazing and varied from day to day.

We did the cycle cruise last year and really enjoyed it, so we booked again for this year. I didn't think there was much to improve on but I was wrong. The boat, the food, the crew and especially our guides Nina & Marin were amazing. I can't praise them enough, hugely knowledgeable and all round lovely people. We had a great group of fellow travellers including the lovely ladies we met last year on our boat. Lots of fun was had by all. Thank you Sail Croatia, We will certainly be joining you again.

- Jane, 22/08/2023 19:12, Travelled with Family

We had a great time cycling the Dalmatian Islands with the Mali Ante crew. Our guides Mila and Miranda provided great historical information about the towns and were very fun to ride with. The onboard crew was wonderful as well, taking care of our rooms and providing great food. We even got them to dance with us on the night of Captain's dinner. The only recommendation I have is to consider an eBike. I'm a cyclist at home, but was happy to have an eBike to get over those beautiful (but steep!) hills.

- Julie, 07/07/2023 18:36, Travelled with Family

The 7 day cycle cruise was the best way to experience the real Croatia. Being able to choose the e-bike option allowed me to relax to the fullest in the hot summer heat and enjoy the fabulous smells of Croatian islands. Smelling the native rosemary fields and the sulfur from the vineyards was unlike anything I’ve experienced on my rides before. The guides were knowledgeable and gave historical context of the islands we traveled. It was a great balance of busy nightlife islands and chill and relaxed islands once frequented by the aristocracy. As a solo traveler it was a good way to safely see the country (though Croatia is far from dangerous) while meeting like-minded folks. Great job Mali Ante guides and crew! I will definitely consider another route next summer and convince friends to join!! Great value for your money all around!

- Melissa , 07/07/2023 14:58, Travelled Solo

I had the best week on the Mali Ante enjoying 7 days cruising from Split to Dubrovnik. The tour is extremely well planned from every aspect. The e-bikes were fantastic and easy to operate, the cycling routes were varied interesting and with spectacular scenery, there was time fi swimming, relaxing and sightseeing too. Meals on the boat were amazing - really fresh, plentiful and tasty lunches, breakfasts and some dinners also included. My cabin was spacious, clean and comfortable. The crew were really professional, kind and committed to ensuring everyone had a great time. Our tour guides Miranda and Mila were exceptional. Both were so engaging, knowledgeable and had a great sense of fun and humour. Mila’s almost encyclopaedic knowledge of Croatian history was really impressive and she delivered the information in the most engaging and interesting way. Our group was a lot of fun to travel with - couples, groups and solos from Australia, Canada, USA & the UK.
