The Tour

Bright sunshine, deep blue water, a multitude of islands - that's the Croatian Mediterranean coast. Off you go on a mountain bike adventure, overcoming obstacles and testing your limits. Our MTB tour in Croatia takes you over hill and dale, on small roads, nature trails, coastal promenades and old Roman paths, uphill and downhill, with the azure blue sea as your constant companion. The pace is set by the MTB riders; those who want to ride an E-MTB are welcome to do so, but are asked to be considerate. If you wish, you can stay on board the comfortable motor yacht MS Linda.
Our trip "E-bike tour Croatia" takes place at the same time. You have the option of choosing between the MTB tour and the softer e-bike tour every day. And if you have a partner or friend who prefers cycling to biking, you can spend your vacation together on this trip.
