Croatia: The Dalmatian Islands
Don’t be fooled by knock-offs—this VBT vacation is authentic Croatia at its best! For more than 15 years, we’ve cycled Croatia’s Dalmatian Islands, discovering the best bike routes, waterfront accommodations, and pristine, turquoise beaches. Most importantly, we’ve dedicated ourselves to making friends across the archipelago, swapping stories with local skippers, discovering hidden vineyards and olive groves—even pausing to pet local donkeys. With VBT’s deep Croatian roots, you have an invitation to share a home-cooked meal around the unpretentious kitchen tables of two local families. As VBT’s Croatian trip leaders guide you on spectacular cycling routes along the azure Adriatic coast, they’ll introduce you to their local friends along the way. When you join VBT on this seminal Croatian cycling vacation, you’re not a tourist—you’re family.
Tour Highlights
- Cycle along the harbor of Postira, a beautiful village nestled between the ocean and hillsides graced by centuries-old olive and pine groves.
- Visit a world-renown stonecutting school.
- Connect with daily life in this stunningly beautiful region during two home-hosted meals.
- Behold breathtaking views from Vidova Gora, the “summit of the Adriatic.”
- Take a dip in the Adriatic at Zlatni Rat, Croatia’s most famous beach.

VBT Croatia was a fantastic experience. Our trip exceeded our expectations and my adult son said it was a “trip of a lifetime!” It was a perfect blend of guided and self guided. The guides had great personalities and created a great experience! I loved the variation of experiences, loved the food recommendations, loved the scenery and loved all the group interaction. I am ready for the next VBT trip! Amazing trip! Thank you.
VBT CROATIA-OUTSTANDING!
Wowsa, what a wonderful adventure. We explored the Dalmatian Islands on beautiful scenic roads... and most importantly from the comfort of e-bikes, which made the "rolling hills" a little easier to ride. Our guides did an outstanding job from day one. Highly recommend this trip!
Great trip! Glad we reserved e-bikes!
