My son and I enjoyed the week sailing on the Magellan through Croatia’s islands out of Trogir and the daily bike tours for a week. Our international group of 28 guests of various ages had a great energy, the crew was super nice, and the traditional Dalmatian meals very enjoyable. Our tour guides Evan and Alexa were fantastic and made sure everyone was always informed about the daily plans and options. Our cabin was below deck and very cozy. A bit of engine noise at night was easily mitigated with ear plugs. I also enjoyed the guided city tours, especially in Zadar as our guide illuminated life during the 1990s war with her personal experience. All around a very memorable trip!

Our National Parks trip to the Dalmatian Islands was all we hoped for. We were fortunate to have four guides (Kristofor, Dario, Tara and Hrvoye) as two were in training. The guides were all very knowledgeable with good senses of humour so kept everyone happy. We explored parts of Croatia that we wouldn’t otherwise have seen and got unique perspectives of the country. The boat crew were also very accommodating and fed us well! I’ve read other reviews where people said to get the e-bikes. I was sceptical as I’m quite fit but decided to go with it. In the end I was happy for it as there are some extended hill climbs that can wear you down! It’s always easy to turn it off when you want to run under your own power. This trip was operated by Island Hoppers but we booked through Boat Bike Tours. This was a very simple process; as easy as a previous trip we had taken in the Netherlands that was operated by Boat Bike Tours. Due to COVID we had to postpone twice and the booking people were very accommodating during that tough time.

We were group of 12 people (6 couples). For us this was a trip where all crew members absolutly were performing fantastically and we are really happy to have had the opportunity to participate. Ivan our captain did have a great overview of the situation at any time, with a fantastic support from Miro and Marko. Our guieds, Lucija and Nikita did absolutely deliver a fantastic job securing all participants bicycleing through the great sceneries of Croatian landscape, and safely bring the whole group back to the boat. Zvonimir our bartender, did safe our lives from dehydration and starving with the great crew in kitchen Ivan and Bosiljka. Perfect combination of sailing, swimming, cyckling, history, eating, (drinking) and dancing. Again thanks to all the crew and guieds for a great time and fantastic service during our stay and we will definitely recommend Romantica and/or similar trips to our friends. Best regards from the Icelandic team.

Good trip. Nice boat and good guides. This trip was less biking than I expected and more sailings and free time. No real negatives other than it is different than expected. You really only go one one National Park ride / hike. The rest of the rides were just through small villages or inland. I did the southern tour before and thought the scenery was better in that tour.
