MTB experience in the Croatian island paradise Spend a week on a charming motor sailor and travel to the islands of Cres, Molat, Dugi Otok, Pag, Rab and Krk. Your guide will accompany you to the hidden corners of the region. The hilly to mountainous landscape with partly challenging slopes requires a good physical condition. The islands vary greatly and therefore offer a large variety while biking: wide natural paths, small side roads, Roman roads, seafront promenades and narrow paths will lead you across the islands.This MTB & boat tour is aimed at off-road fans who enjoy a tour outdoors in nature in varying terrain but is not specifically trail orientated. The dedicated MTB trail percentage is limited to what the islands have to offer. TO NOTE: This tour sometimes takes place prallel to our hybrid bike & boat tour on the same boat. One tour guide takes care of the mountain bikers whilst the other one accompanies our hybrid riders. This is perfect for travellers who wish to spend their holiday together, but do not share the same riding preference. Book Now Highlights Culture: A guided walk through the Old Town of Rab Nature: The trails of the Dundo forest on Rab Activity: A mud bath in Soline: healthy and fun Culinary: Spiced sheep's cheese from Pag Souvenirs: Cake of Rab and a bottle of Zlahtina wine
