Extra Info
Skill Level — Easy–Moderate
The majority of participants on this tour will be using an electric bike. For them, this tour could be easy, moderate, or difficult, depending on the level of assistance they utilize! For those who will be riding a gravel bike, you will work harder to keep up with the group on electric bikes as the e-cyclists will set the pace. Do note for every participant regardless of your bike of choice, this tour assumes that you ride often and that you have good command of your bicycle. (An electric bike is heavier than a non-electric bike.) Participants will need to master long and steep climbs which present little to no problem with the use of electric bikes, traversing heights of between 400 - 700 m with daily distances ranging between 18 - 37 miles (30 - 60 km) through mountainous terrain. Tours can be completed without any time constraints. Streets are mostly asphalted with little traffic. At times, with your guide’s approval, you may be able to ride self-guided but there are no guarantees.
Airport Info
Fly to the airport of Split (SPU) which is about 6 km (4 miles) from your port of embarkation in Trogir. Split airport is quite small but very busy.
Local Travel
As the airport is located quite close to your embarkation point in Trogir, you do have several options.
- From the airport, you can utilize public transportation. Bus number 37 leaves the main road in front of the airport in the direction of Trogir and takes about 15 minutes. A bus ticket costs around 15 kunas.
- Taxis are readily available and Uber has recently entered the Croatian market. A flat rate from Split Airport to all central Split destinations is 225 Kn.
- If you would like an exclusive airport transfer between Split Airport and Trogir Port, you can book this in advance (only on embarkation/disembarkation day/price on request).
Climate
Please check local conditions before arrival. The Dalmatian coast is the perfect place for a bike and boat tour. Governed by a Mediterranean climate, summers are quite warm and sunny and generally the driest of all seasons.
Day of Rest
You are free to set aside a half or full day to swim or spend your time relaxing on board the boat.
Recommended
Don’t forget to bring a beach towel. You will be glad you did. Helmets are mandatory. There are a limited number of helmets on board so please request at the time of booking.
Remarks
Electric bikes are included in the tour price. Gravel bikes are available at a discounted price but please note that the use of a gravel bike will completely change the difficulty level. The e-cyclists set the pace for the group.
Important to know
It is each traveler's responsibility to research travel requirements and to ensure that you are in compliance with the country or countries you plan to visit. This includes and is not limited to passport validity, blank visa pages required for your destination (s), and any other requirement.

EU-citizens: (without special situations like dual citizenship, main residence abroad or a limited-validity passport) are required to have a valid passport or ID-card, not expiring within six (6) months from the end of your tour.
*Important note: Please check on the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) status as once implemented, this will be required to visit any of the 26 Schengen-member countries for tourism, business, medical, or transit. This is an additional check on security rather than a visa.
