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

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

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…”

3.Hvar Island Self-Guided E-Bike Tour

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

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!”

9.Korcula Bike & Wine Tour | Wine Tasting in Lumbarda

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 78 reviews · 5 hours 35 minutes (approx.) · from $144

Ride about 10 kilometers from Korčula Town through vineyards, olive groves, hills, and gravel paths to two family-run wineries in Lumbarda. Guides such as John and Rachael keep the pace friendly, with shade stops and local stories. Taste Grk, Pošip, and homemade snacks, then return by van.

“This was easily one of the best tours I’ve ever done (on any trip!) John was the ultimate guide and we had so much fun. Views are beautiful through the countryside and both the wineries we visited were excellent — and offered wine we couldn’t have otherwise seen or drank in town. Our group was having such a good time that we ended up staying at the second winery much later than planned and the vineyard owner continued to be the perfect host. Be aware that the biking aspect does require moderate level of fitness, but I could not recommend the experience enough!”

Ook kon er niet eens een flesje water af! En dat voor een tour van €55,00 !! De prijs is ook vergeleken met andere bike tours over de hele wereld de hoogste die we hebben moeten betalen met de minste service.”
