A Winning Combination:Boat and Bike For over a quarter century we have been exploring the world's most beautiful islands and coasts by bike and boat! Whether in Croatia, Greece, Turkey, Italy, Scotland, Scandinavia, Netherlands, Egypt, or Vietnam, Island hopping has an abundance on offer! The secret ingredient: You stay overnight on a boat and enjoy all the advantages of a traveling accommodation. This way you can hop from island to island without the hassle of packing your suitcase. After a strenuous bike tour, your floating home is already waiting for you in the next port. It is quite common to smell the freshly prepared food from the galley upon arrival. And could there be anything more enjoyable than dropping anchor and swimming break in a postcard-like bay? On all of our bike tours you are accompanied by our competent guides, who not only lead you safely to the most remote corners of all islands, but also share interesting facts about the host country and its inhabitants. Decide for yourself whether you want to travel more casually by bike or e-bike or more actively by mountain or road bike.

What our GuestsHave to Say ★★★★★ (5 / 5) Exceeded Expectations Every aspect of this trip exceeded our expectations. We were worried that it might not be a true luxury cruise based upon the inexpensive price which was well below the other options. Surprisingly, the boat, food,bikes and guides could not have been better. It’s just that simple. Everyone on our boat enjoyed a vacation of a lifetime.

And most importantly, wonderful meals and plenty of it ! Late April - early May was a little cold this year, but it made for comfortable riding. On this tour, the biking distances are less, sailing distances longer, due to the spacing of islands. Reply from Islandhopping Hello Kenneth, thank you so much for your detailed feedback regarding your South Greek Aegean Plus tour on board of Admiral. We’re very pleased to hear that you were satisfied with the organization, the support provided by our MTB guide August, and the dedicated efforts of the Admiral crew. The situation with the stuck anchor especially highlights the commitment of our team. It is true that the islands offer a lot of variety and we are happy that you enjoyed the meals. We hope to see you on board again very soon! Your Islandhopping team Kenneth 20.05.2025
