Our plan was to do the E-bike trip but it was full so we decided to jump on the hike trip! We definitely made a good decision!! Mate and Karla did such an amazing job accommodating everyone! They both really love their country and love to share it with everyone!! We were able to go off on our own and rent bikes/mopeds if we chose to change things up a bit! We met so many great people from all over the world! We highly recommend sailing with this group!

We were on the Colombo boat with Bruno and an excellent crew. They were polite, efficient, hard working, friendly and very good at their jobs. Our guides Mate and Karla were fantastic! They were knowledgeable, fun, interesting and dealt with our group exceedingly well. They were motivating and lovely. They really made the trip special. We also had a group of wonderful like minded people taking the tour which made it even more fun. Thank you Sail Croatia for a very memorable holiday. 🤗🙏

I am a 17 year old non-speaking autistic who loves the sea and mountains. I had one of the best holidays ever, hiking on different islands everyday, whilst travelling & staying on a boat. The staff were exceptional, they were always fully inclusive and presumed competence in me. They gave me all the support I needed without patronising me, I felt empowered and leave this week with a wonderful sense of achievement and even more confidence in my abilities. I spell on letter boards to communicate, I am a ‘Speller’, I love travel and meeting new people, this holiday was so wonderful and so were all the remarkable others I spent the week with.❤️😎❤️ Thank you so much!

I am not a fan of big ship cruising so this was perfect!!! Small boat and small number of passengers with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the sun, great crew, beautiful food, drinks and service, relaxed schedule with plenty of free time at each port. The other passengers were from all over the world, we got to know everyone and we all got along so well. The destinations were some of the most beautiful places I have ever visited....the islands OMG!! The water is the cleanest and clearest in Europe. Mate, our hiking guide lead us on 7 fabulous hikes, some quite challenging which I was hoping for. All had amazing views and destinations. I am definitely coming back to do the new hiking cruise route. Thank you to everyone and thank you beautiful Croatia xxoo

Our trip was amazing, Mate and Lola were great guides and the hikes were always fun!

Our trip was great because we had excellent guides in Mila and Mare. Rainy weather meant the boat couldn't follow the itinerary but we were still able to hike everyday. The hikes were challenging; the views were spectacular and I noted that the guides were very alert to conditions on the trails so I never felt the hiking was unsafe. I also appreciated that the guides shared the best things to do and places to eat at every port.

The Sail and Hike Croatia cruise exceeded all my expectations. The room was exactly the right size, everything was clean and we'll maintained, and the food was delicious. The crew and staff were friendly and supportive and the hikes were challenging and beautiful. Thank you, Sail Croatia!

We had a wonderful week on Emanuel, the crew on aboard were fabulous could not do enough for us. The food was top-notch I would return if only to eat Zeljka's stuffed peppers one more time! The destinations we visited were amazing, each place was unique and the landscapes varied. The hikes were fun, some more challenging than others and nothing better than jumping in the sea after a sweaty hike. Our reps Mila and Mate were superb, looked after us, gave us plenty of information and their passion and enthusiasm for Croatia and hiking was always apparent. Lastly the other guests were great fun, we all made new friends, really was the best week!

We went on a Sail & Hike cruise around the islands of Split on the Mlini boat. Although it was a basic and small boat it suited our needs and was very satisfactory. It was very casual and no need to dress up for our meals onboard. We loved that we were able to anchor down in secluded bays and swim for several hours a day. We then had the bustle of the small historic villages in the evenings to explore, after our late afternoon hikes. The hikes were easy for the most part and very enjoyable. Our guides were very efficient and provided little anecdotes of all the places we visited, The crew were fabulous and very professional. I would love to go back again and do it all over !

The Mlini crew and our 2 Sail Croatia guides. And of course the experience of Croatia and the Islands

We thoroughly enjoyed our first experience with Sail Croatia. We had a wonderful welcome from our host Stephanie and we were really pleased with our cabin, quite spacious. Visiting the islands on a boat was brilliant, the guided walks were very enjoyable but our guide needed to take into account the different fitness levels in the group and take more frequent stops. We really enjoyed our swim stops and would have liked a few more. The breakfasts and lunchs were good and they catered for my non-dairy requirements well. There was such a great mix of international people on board too. Will definitely recommend to friends and would definitely consider doing again.

Hi and thank you for your 5-star review! It's great to hear you enjoyed all aspects of your Hike cruise - loving every minute of it! We are pleased to hear the staff, food and fellow passengers were some of the highlights of the cruise. Thanks again!
We had a great week with our wonderful guide Lubjo who was extremely engaging and knowledgeable. He was ably assisted by Gordana who couldn't do enough to help us. In the saloon was Dino who was very entertaining and funny. The crew worked tirelessly to make sure we had a great time and catered for all our needs. If you are lucky enough to have Lubjo as your tour leader you will be in for a great week - he is a very interesting and funny guy! Croatia is a beautiful country with stunning landscape. We felt very safe and the people were very friendly. Our group was made up of hikers from all UK, US, NZ, SA and were quite a mixed ability group. I would say that all were catered for well. I would definitely recommend Sail Croatia to anyone. More so I would recommend Croatia as a destination, it was absolutely beautiful and unspoilt. I can't wait to go back.

We have had a fabulous time on the Milena with the island hopping and hiking trip. First of all the staff were so helpful and engaged. It was such a joy to see the islands from the sea and travel on this type of boat. The food, the atmosphere and the hiking trips were all great experiences. The group was well mixed and a real joy to be with. I have already recommended Sail Croatia and the island hopping trips to all and sundry. Thank you to all your staff!!!

Hi there, and thank you for your 5-star review! We are so pleased to hear you had a lovely time on your Hike cruise and hope you are now well relaxed and rejuvenated after a week onboard! Your feedback regarding the food, service and crew will be passed on to the Captain as I'm sure he will appreciate it. Thank you again and we do hope to see you on board again soon!
The crew of the ship was great, and our Tour Guides Ljubo and Jelena were beyond amazing - their enthusiasm, knowledge and overall organising ensured a very memorable holiday! The beauty of the islands leave one breathless, and the less frequented trails we hiked gave us unspoilt views and photo moments. Thanks so much for a wonderful holiday!
