Top 5 Coastal and Island Bike Tours in Croatia

1.Elafiti Islands Sea kayaking: Full-Day Bike and Kayak tour on Lopud and Šipan

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 236 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $95Our pick

This active seven-hour outing combines a ferry ride, sea kayaking from Lopud to Šipan, and about 6 to 10 kilometers of cycling through villages, vineyards, churches, and old villas. Guides such as Karlo, Zvone, Ivan, and Mickey set a careful pace for groups of up to 10. Bring water shoes, sun protection, and cash for lunch.

“We had an amazing time! Our tour guide, Mickey, was fantastic and really gave us a local’s experience of the islands. He was a great guide and made sure that we had an unforgettable adventure. The restaurant was delicious and I enjoyed hand-feeding fish to the local cats, and while swimming we even caught a glimpse of a scorpionfish so be sure to bring your water shoes! We swam in the clearest water I’ve ever seen. This trip is highly active, so get ready to burn lots of calories kayaking from island to island and biking ~10km. You actually do need to be moderately fit to do this excursion, fair…”

2.Hvar Island Self-Guided E-Bike Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 144 reviews · 3 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $72Best value

Antonio Rent sets you up with a Bosch pedal-assist e-bike, helmet, locker, phone navigation, and route tips for a self-guided ride around Hvar. Choose a shorter loop to Milna and Pokonji Dol, or take the harder 45-kilometer route to Stari Grad. You ride at your own pace, with time for beaches, food, photos, and the Spanish Fortress.

“I absolutely LOVED renting an e-bike while on Hvar! Antonio Rents makes it so easy - they provide the digital map via WhatsApp, information on where you are going/what you will see, and all the equipment (lock, helmet, handlebar bag) to explore outside Hvar town. The e-bike was so fun to ride and allowed me to go beyond town - Brusje, Malo Grablje, Milna, Pokonji Dol, Spanish Fortress! Bring water (it was a HOT day) and a swimsuit as there are multiple opportunities to swim as well. Such a fun experience - HIGHLY recommend!”
