Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Cycle across the largest island of the Dalmatia region, through cypress forests, orange and olive trees and white pebble beaches.
Soak up a full day to explore Hvar Island at your own pace – maybe check out the Hvar Spanjola Fortress, go on a short hike or relax by one of the sparkling bays, it’s up to you!
Enjoy a group picnic and an optional wine tasting experience after your scenic ride through the Peljesac isthmus – a hilly Croatian peninsula jutting into the Adriatic.
Spend your days cycling and your nights relaxing. Indulge in harbourside dinners and tastings of traditional cuisines and famed local wines in Bol, Hvar and Korcula.
Explore the medieval walls of Dubrovnik, and if you’ve got time, maybe traverse to the top of Mount Srd for panoramic views over Old Dubrovnik, its harbour and the Adriatic Sea.
Is this trip right for you?
To complete this trip, it’s important that you are both confident and competent in riding a bicycle.
You’ll have a leader that rides with the group, and another that drives the support vehicle (acting as a back marker where needed). Where the vehicle cannot travel directly with the cyclists (e.g. a cyclists-only path) your leader will assign a person from the group to act as a back marker.
While the cycling distances on this trip are relatively short (the longest ride is only 50 km), the terrain of the Dalmatian Coast is naturally hilly and the climate often warm. You’ll need a reasonable level of fitness to enjoy the trip, but the support vehicle is always on hand if you need to take a break for an hour or a day.
As your riding is done mostly on sealed roads with the occasional gravel cycle path, there are no technical cycling skills required. Given the hills, we do suggest practicing riding downhill, so you’re comfortable once the trip begins.
As there are cobblestones and many stairs in most European towns, and space in our support van is limited, it's strongly recommended that you leave any wheelie bags/cases at home and bring a backpack instead.
Hotels in Europe often don't have double beds, but rather two single beds that can be pushed together.
This trip is part of a longer itinerary. You might be joining travellers who have already spent some time together. If you have more time to explore, you might like to check out our Cycle Croatia & the Balkans trip.

Our experience with Intrepid was excellent. They booked our flights for our overall / longer trip to Europe incorporating 2 of their tours and we were very happy with the itinerary and prices. The tours were well organised and ran smoothly. Our tour leaders were excellent with lots of local knowledge generously shared with the group.

Our first trip with Intrepid was excellent and we enjoyed every minute. Right from the booking through to completion of the trip everything was well organised, and well supported. Our leaders were wonderful; experienced and knowledgeable they provided the information we needed plus more and always ready to answer our questions. We learnt so much about the places we visited. We are looking forward to our next trip with Intrepid.

What a trip, my first cycle trip and it won’t be my last. Huge thanks to Davor and Dani,, there energy and enthusiasm was amazing and contagious. As a relatively inexperienced rider they gave me the information and confidence I needed to cycle safely . While some of the cycling was challenging ( boy was I do glad I had an e-bike) ,,I can't imagine a better way to really see the real country. Davor and Dani worked to facilitate good tour group vibes. They are absolutely super stars as tour leaders. Thoroughly enjoyed this trip.

Outstanding trip, nothing to worry about except turning the pedals and admiring the view. Organisation from initial contact to trip follow up was faultless. The Leaders - Davor and Dani were exceptional.

This trip is rated a 3 out of 5 for difficulty. It's closer to a 4 due to the 6 & 8km uphill climbs. Train for long uphills before trip!

⸻ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “An Unforgettable Six-Day Bike Adventure — Thanks to Davor and Dany!” When you come to write a review about a six-day bike trip, it’s really all about the guides and the support team (SAG) — and in our case, Davor and Dany were absolutely exceptional. The interaction with the back office was minimal. Could they have arranged slightly better accommodations or higher-end bikes? Probably — but what we had was fair and matched the value of the trip. Some of the apartments were better than others; I personally had no complaints, though a few others did. What truly made this trip spectacular were Davor and Dany. Dany is a mechanical wizard — he can fix anything, always with a smile, and never lets his impressive beard slow him down! He’d wake up at 3 a.m. to drive the truck with our luggage, even taking a ferry to meet us on the other side of the bay so we wouldn’t have to carry a thing. Davor was simply amazing — deeply knowledgeable about the history of the country and every island we visited. He was endlessly patient (even when answering the same questions daily!) and constantly sent WhatsApp updates with tips about local supermarkets, pharmacies, and ATMs with low fees — always with a smile. On the rides, he skillfully managed different paces among strong, moderate, and e-bike riders, waiting at intersections or staying behind with the slower group. Together, Davor and Dany turned the already breathtaking views of the islands into a truly unforgettable experience.

Igor and David brought this remarkable region to life with their passion for their homeland. The rides were spectacular the views breathtaking and the people created warm memories. Hvala Igor, Davor and Intrepid.

This was a fantastic trip! Both the trip leader and the driver/logistics guy were great people who went over and above what their jobs required. They cared and spent the time and energy to get to know us and could talk about anything. The routes were amazingly beautiful, and the attention to detail was excellent. I couldn't have asked for a better trip!
