Day 1: Individual arrival in Trogir, Trogir - island of Šolta (boat), bike tour on the island of Šolta, approx. 20 km / 210 m altitude difference

Your ship awaits you in the port of Trogir for the athletic island hopping in Croatia for sports enthusiasts. After embarking between 13:00 and 14:00, you will get to know the tour guide, the crew and your fellow travelers over a welcome drink on board. While you enjoy a snack, it's time to cast off! The first destination is Maslinica on the island of Šolta. The small island is known among connoisseurs for its dark olive oil. On your first bike tour, you will cycle through traditional old villages. On the tour, you will pass Gornje Selo, where you will visit an oil mill and taste the olive oil produced there. The route continues via Grohote to Stomorska, where dinner is served on board and you spend the night in the harbor.

Day 2: Island of Šolta - Island of Brač (boat), cycle tour on the island of Brač, approx. 55 km / 1030 m elevation gain

The day begins with an approximately one-hour ride to Milna on the island of Brač. Cycle across the island from west to south to the well-known seaside resort of Bol. Take the opportunity to stop off at a small, typical Dalmatian restaurant, a Konoba. If you still haven't had enough after the ascent of around 500 meters, you can make a detour to Vidova Gora, the highest mountain on the Adriatic islands at 778 meters. As a reward, you get a unique view over the islands of Šolta, Korčula, and Hvar, as well as the Pelješac peninsula. From there, you can already see your destination for the day, Bol, with the "Golden Horn". The "Golden Horn", Zlatni Rat, is one of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean!

Day 3: Island of Brač - island of Vis (boat), cycle tour on the island of Vis, approx. 30 km / 670 m elevation gain

After breakfast, you sail to the "forbidden" island of Vis. Don't worry, since the end of the 1980s, foreign visitors have also been allowed to set foot on the island, which was previously forbidden. Where there used to be an Air Force base with a runway, olives and wine are now grown. Discover the almost untouched nature of the hilly island by bike. From the port, cycle via Dračevo Polje to Komiža. Take the opportunity to have lunch here before cycling back to the town of Vis. Dinner is served on board.

Day 4: Island of Vis - Island of Korčula (boat), cycle tour on the island of Korčula, approx. 50 km / 890 m elevation gain

The day starts with an approximately three-hour crossing to the island of Korčula. Let the sun shine on your belly during the trip! After reaching the bay of Vela Luka in the west of the island, you cycle on to the town of Korčula in the south-east. You cycle through pine and oak forests, which cover more than half of the island. You cycle around the steepest inclines on the island on small roads. Treat yourself to a traditional lunch on the way. Today you will spend the night in the town of Korčula. After dinner on board, you can explore the town surrounded by walls and towers with its Renaissance-Gothic town center.

Day 5: Island of Korčula - Island of Hvar (boat), bike tour on the island of Hvar, approx. 50 km / 700 m elevation gain, Island of Hvar - Island of Brač (boat)

Start the day with a morning boat trip. You will sail past the Pelješac peninsula. Don't miss the view of the impressive mountain range with its highest peak Sveti Ilija (961 m) as you sail past! The destination is the island of Hvar, the island with the most hours of sunshine and the mildest climate of the Adriatic islands. From Sućuraj you cycle through beautiful vineyards and olive groves to the cozy town of Jelsa on the north coast. Back on board, fortify yourself with lunch while the MS Orkan sets course for the island of Brač. Before your floating hotel anchors in the harbor of Postira or Pučišća, you should take advantage of the planned swimming break and plunge into the waters of the Mediterranean. Look forward to the Captain's Dinner, which will be served this evening.

Day 6: Island of Brač - Omiš (boat), bike tour, approx. 25 km / 390 m elevation gain and rafting tour, Omiš - Split (boat)

In the morning you leave the island world and set course for the mainland. After arriving in Krilo Jesenice, you will be transferred to Omiš. From there you cycle along the river Cetina. Through untouched nature, past rock formations up to 180 m high, waterfalls and lakes, you cycle along the riverbed through the Cetina Canyon. In Pavića Most, swap your bike for an inflatable boat and set off on your rafting tour! Accompanied by experienced skippers, you will float downstream over gentle rapids through unique natural surroundings. Do you dare to jump off one of the 5 m high rocks along the way? 
If you don't fancy rafting, you can simply cycle a little further. After lunch on board, the ship leaves the port for Split. During a guided tour of the old town there, you will learn more about the history and life of the city.

Day 7: Cycle tour around Split, approx. 20 km / 250 m elevation gain, Split - Trogir (boat)

After you have fortified yourself with breakfast, you cycle through thousands of pine trees to Mount Marjan, not far from Split.

Take a last look at Split before lunch is served on the ship and you slowly but surely head towards your destination of Trogir. In a bay on the small island of Čiovo, you have another opportunity to refresh yourself in the cool water. You can use the rest of the day in Trogir for sightseeing. Stroll through the winding alleyways of the old town and marvel at the medieval vaults and fascinating courtyards. Learn more about the city on a guided tour before going out to eat in one of the countless restaurants in the evening.
