Boat & Bike in Northern Dalmatia

Island hopping truly is the correct term for this cycling holiday, as a multitude of large and small, mostly green islands are on the itinerary. Zadar and Šibenik are the urban highlights, but this boat & bike tour in Northern Dalmatia is shaped by forests, the sea and beaches with great swimming opportunities. A bit of stamina won’t go amiss as a lot of the islands feature slight inclines from sea level. However, if you don’t feel like it - why not stay aboard the comfortable motor sailer MS Carpe Diem.

Day 1 Arrival in Zadar, Ugljan - Pašman, 33 km/21 mi
Embarkation until 1 pm. After a short boat ride there is the first tour from the island of Ugljan to the island of Pašman. After that we go by boat with great views to the island of Murter, anchoring in the bay Podvrške.

Day 2 The islands of Murter - Tribunj - Vodice, 26 km/16 mi
Today you will cycle on a varied bike tour from Murter via Tisno and Tribunj to the popular resort of Vodice.

Day 3 Vodice-Krka national park-Skradin, 9-36 km/6-22 mi
Today you will cycle through the national park to the famous Krka waterfalls. Back in Skradin the boat is waiting to take you to Šibenik.

Day 4 Šibenik, approx. 19 km/12 mi
Today only a short bike ride to the fortress of Sveti Nikola on the island of Šibenik is on the program, because afterwards we will go by boat through the National Park of Kornati Islands. Today's destination is a bay in the Telašćica Nature Park.

Day 5 Telašćica Nature Park, approx. 32 km/20 mi

Day 7 The islands of Molat, approx. 17 km/11 mi
On the smaller final tour there is once again a lot of nature to see. With a stop for swimming, the boat will take you back to Zadar.
