Mountain Biking the Northern Croatian Islands

Your tour begins in Rabac with a brief orientation meeting before your first ride. Spend the afternoon cycling the trails around this resort town and enjoy the beautiful views of Kvarner Bay.

After breakfast, a transfer will drive you from Rabac to Semič where you’ll start your bike ride through the Učka Nature Park.

Enjoy the gravel paths and spectacular views as you ride through the mountains. Travel through the rocky cliffs of the park to the lovely seaside city of Lovran, where you’ll spend the night.

This morning you’ll be leaving the mainland! A transfer vehicle will bring you to Rijeka where you’ll take a catamaran transfer to Mali Lošinj on Lošinj island.

Take a leisurely bike ride to discover the coves and villages along the east coast. End your day with a stroll along the beautiful Mali Lošinj waterfront.

Make sure to enjoy a good breakfast because you have a long-distance ride ahead of you today! Leave Mali Lošinj and ride across the bridge to the island of Cress. You’ll ride through the wild natural beauty of Cres Island, enjoying enjoy incredible views of the Adriatic from its rocky cliffs. End your day watching the boats bob on the water in the picturesque harbour of Cres town.

You have another ferry ride today. A transfer will drop you off at the port and you’ll start your bike ride from Valbiska. When you arrive on Krk you’ll find a ferry port surrounded by dense forest, but as you ride towards Baška the trees will give way to rocky mountains.

Spend the day mountain biking in the hills above Baška and then reward yourself with a swim in the crystal waters at the beach in town.

This morning you’ll take a 2 to 3-hour bike ride back to the port in Valbiska. The ferry will take you to Rab Island, and you’ll start your ride from the gorgeous beach town of Lopar. Today’s second cycling stage is a 3 to 4-hour exploration of the island as you travel from Lopar to historic Rab town.

Take an evening stroll to see the beautiful architecture and the church that is perched on the cliffside.

After breakfast, take a catamaran transfer to Novalja on Pag Island. The incredible Zrče Beach will greet you when you arrive in Novalja, but the party island vibe will disappear quickly as you ride across the island. In contrast to its lush neighbours, Pag’s rocky landscapes will make you feel like you’re biking across the moon.

You’ll cycle across Pag’s mountains to the mainland, then today’s epic cross-island ride will end with you back on the mainland in Zadar.

Today may be the last day of your tour, but you have a lot of great riding ahead still! Your day starts with a short ferry ride to Prijeko on Ugljan Island, where you’ll see the return of the vibrant green and blues that are symbolic of most of the Dalmatian Islands.

Cycle across Ugljan and Pašman islands, and when you reach the southern point of Pašman a transfer will bring you to Šibenik where your tour officially ends.
