Violet sage, deep green pine forests and the blue of the Adriatic Sea: these colors dominate the dreamlike coastal region in the north of Dalmatia. Discover small, hidden bathing bays and idyllic fishing villages in the national parks on this cruise with bike in Croatia. Jump from the deck into crystal clear water and let the sun's rays warm you up afterwards. A highlight of your trip is certainly a visit to the picturesque Krka waterfalls in the national park of the same name. The river seeks its way into the depths via 17 cascades. The waterfalls have had a place in film history since the Winnetou adaptations with Pierre Brice and Lex Barker. In the Kornati National Park, 125 small and larger islands await you, mostly uninhabited off the coast of Dalmatia. You will cycle through fragrant forests and enjoy fantastic views of the wide sea, with small islands and colorful boats on the horizon. The tour cruise with bike in Croatia is pure vacation in one of the most beautiful regions on the Mediterranean.

You can book the tour cruise with bike in Croatia on the comfort ships MS Dalmatino and MS Kažimir.

Bike cruise to the national parks of Dalmatia

Your ships: MS Dalmatino and MS Kažimir

The Skarica family knows how to welcome you aboard the MS Dalmatino with such warmth that you will immediately feel like a complete family member. If you are interested, father Ante will show you what it means to maneuver a motor sailer. The mood on board is relaxed, yet there is always a quiet spot to browse through books or look out over the crystal-clear water.

Kažo - called Braco - has commanded the MS Kažimir together with his wife Zdenka since 2016. The large wooden ship offers a surprising amount of space and comfort on the large sundeck and seating area on the upper deck for a leisurely bike cruise.
