Tour de Pearls of Dalmatia Dubrovnik to Split Sail & Cycling - 8 days

Discover the natural beauty and cultural richness of the Dalmatian Coast on this Croatia cycling tour by boat and bike.

The 8-day Pearls of Dalmatia sail and cycle tour takes you on a spectacular journey from Dubrovnik to Split aboard a comfortable motor yacht. Enjoy moderate daily e-bike rides (up to 60 km) across the lush islands of Mljet, quiet Lastovo, historical Korčula, scenic Hvar, and limestone-rich Brač.

Highlights include guided walking tours of Dubrovnik’s walled city and Split’s Diocletian’s Palace, swimming from the boat, and exploring hidden island villages. The Romantica yacht offers private cabins, alfresco dining, and a laid-back atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a day of discovery.

Designed for active, mature travellers, this small-group adventure balances comfort with cultural immersion. You’ll pedal past lavender fields, visit artist towns like Stari Grad, sip local wine, and learn about ancient myths and legends that shaped the region.

Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or new to bike touring with e-assist, this is the perfect way to experience the very best of Croatia’s Dalmatian islands.
