Kvarner Bay

Tour Details

This bike and boat tour is around the Kvarner bay region of Croatia. On this cycling holiday, you will experience countless islands in crystal clear water, deeply fissured cliffs, picturesque beaches and numerous small bays. Every island is different. Each has its own history. We will spend a week discovering the landscape and people of this unique island world by bike, independently and with the aid of knowledgeable tour guides. On a romantic motor yacht, our floating accommodation, we discover the charm of the Adriatic in our own special way.

We cycle off after a hearty breakfast. At midday, we meet the ship at a harbour for lunch. In the evening the ship will be waiting in the next harbour so that we can enjoy fantastic cuisine as the sun sets, followed by a stroll through a historic harbour town. Finally, we settle down in our cabins to sleep or stay on deck under a thousand stars.
