Our sailing and cycling holiday in Dubrovnik has been designed for active and independent cyclists who want to see a lot in the Dubrovnik area in just a few days. Daily activities can be as demanding as you choose. Dubrovnik, the Elaphiti shorelines and Mljet Island National Park are rich in history and natural variety – cliffs, caves, coves, rocks, beaches, pine forests… We will explore them while sailing on a yacht, cycling on paved roads, swimming, and snorkeling. Lopud, Kolocep and Sipan belong to the the Elaphiti Islands archipelago – these are some of Croatia’s most beautiful green islands covered by forests with lots of sunshine and sandy beaches, free of traffic, and under an hour’s sailing time from Dubrovnik. Our yachts or kayaks are occasionally escorted by friendly dolphins or tuna that are often seen in the area. The sea is blue, clear, warm and friendly.

The Sail & Bike Dubrovnik Break trip has been designed for active and independent cyclists who are comfortable cycling long distances on their own and without the guide. Please note that not all activities are guided. Occasionally the guide will provide information and directions for the guests to cycle at their own pace.

1

Arrival at Destination - Kolocep Island SUP, swimming, sailing to Lopud and Sipan Islands

Arrival at the Huck Finn base in Komolac and boarding at 10 am for Saturday and Sunday departures/ 2 pm for Tuesday and Wednesday departures. The guests are welcomed on board by their crew and we sail out after short safety instructions. Our yacht is a modern catamaran for up to 10 passengers with a lot of deck space, comfort and very good sailing performance. Our first stop today is Kolocep island – the smallest of the inhabited islands in the Elaphiti Archipelago. Kolocep is ideal for water activities and we will try out paddleboards and make a swimming break before stopping for lunch in one of the best fish restaurants in the area. After lunch and a short hike to Kolocep’s spectacular cliffs, we continue sailing towards Lopud and Sipan islands. We will anchor in one of the most beautiful bays of the area for a dinner and a swim.
Accommodation: catamaran.

Sailing to Mljet Island and Peljesac Peninsula

We leave Sipan behind early today and sail out towards Mljet Island National Park. Two salt water lakes surrounded by a lush, green forest, the larger one with a small island in the middle, make Mljet a spectacular location for kayaking, paddleboarding, hiking, cycling and swimming. Cycle from the catamaran to and around the lakes, where you can take a boat to the small island with a 12th century Benedictine monastery. Entrance fee to the national park is not included, but can be paid on spot. In the late afternoon we will sail towards the Peljesac Peninsula and anchor in a quiet bay near Zuljana Village.
Accommodation: catamaran. Meals: B.

Peljesac Peninsula paddleboarding, swimming, snorkeling and cycling

Today we spend the day exploring the Peljesac Peninsula, one of the most successful and famous wine making regions in Croatia. It is a true oasis of peace with its vast vineyards, salt and oyster farms, quiet towns, narrow streets and hidden beaches. Spend the morning cycling from Zuljana Bay to Trstenik. Afterwards we sail east towards Broce and Ston. Cycle to Ston, a lovely old town unspoiled by tourism, with pleasant cafes and restaurants. Cycle from Broce to Ston and further, take the time to explore the Ston city walls, salt farms, or taste its famous oysters or mussles before returning to Broce for the evening.
Accommodation: catamaran. Meals: B.

Elaphiti Islands sailing, departure

This morning we sail out of Broce and continue sailing east between the Elaphiti Islands until we reach Komolac again. Disembark around noon for Saturday and Sunday departures / 3 pm for Tuesday and Wednesday departures. Relax in Komolac, enjoy lunch in a local restaurant or continue to your next destination. If you decide to spend more time in Croatia, our team members will be happy to recommend other beautiful places to visit – especially those you won’t find in tourist guide books.
