Experience an unforgettable cycling cruise in the Kvarner Bay aboard the luxurious motor yacht Andela Lora. Our journey takes you through thousands of small islands surrounded by rugged cliffs, fragrant green pine forests, and dreamy coves, all nestled in the crystal-clear waters of the Croatian Adriatic.
With bicycle and ship, you’ll glide from island to island, discovering breathtaking landscapes teeming with lush nature. Enjoy the crossings on our spacious sun deck and indulge in refreshing swims in the azure blue sea.

Each day brings a new surprise, whether it’s exploring the medieval old town of Rab, cycling along the car-free panoramic road of Dugi Otok, or immersing yourself in the tranquil island life of Molat. The tour itinerary bears some resemblance to our regular cycling cruise in the Kvarner Bay, offering an excellent alternative if your desired date in this region is already fully booked.

Our Tip: Book early, those bike & boat trips fill up fast!

Route

Tour profile: Level 2-3

The cycling stages require from the participants a certain basic condition, which you should have acquired as a regular cyclist. The daily stages of 30 - 60 km lead through hilly and mountainous terrain and can be easily managed by e-bike. Steeper or longer climbs are also part of the route. The routes go up between 400 and 700 meters. The roads are mostly asphalted and not very busy outside vacation periods. Instead of a bike tour, you can also take a half or full day of swimming on the ship.

In the late afternoon your guide will meet you in the lobby of your hotel to take you on an interesting and inspiring walk through the Croatian capital. The old town, built by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, will charm you at every turn. During a guided city tour, our local guide will enlighten you on the city in its current position and its former past. The Kaptol (the center of the Roman Catholic Church in Croatia) and Gradec (the upper old town) are of course included in the program. In the evening you will dine in a specially selected restaurant. The delicious local specialties will be a great way to end the day. Overnight stay in a hotel in the town center of Zagreb.

Day 1: Omišalj – Cres

Individual arrival in Omišalj, a nice little harbor village on the island of Krk. If you’re planning to arrive by car, we will organize a safe parking space for you. Check-in on the motor yacht between 2 and 2:30 pm. At approx. 3 pm the ship takes us to the island of Cres in about four hours. On Cres we take a walk through the Venetian old town in the evening.

Day 2: Islands of Cres and Losinj, approx. 28 km

After breakfast we start our tour from the city of Cres to Martinšćica. The boat awaits your arrival and lunch is served during the cruise to the island of Lošinj. If the weather is good, the captain will arrange a swim stop along the way before tying off in the harbor wellness town of Mali Lošinj. The port with its colourful facades and numerous cafes offers its visitors a welcoming atmosphere for a relaxed evening.

Day 3: Islands of Losinj and Molat, approx. 20 + 10 km

We cycle along the seaside promenade to the south of Lošinj and visit the picturesque small harbor town of Veli Lošinj before we meet the ship for lunch. In the afternoon we cross over to the island of Molat where we can do another short cycling tour. Finally we stay overnight in a quiet harbor of Molat Island.

Day 4: Island of Dugi Otok – Zadar, approx. 48 km

During breakfast the ship leaves Molat and takes us past many small islands to the "spice island" of Dugi Otok. Our bike tour starts in the bay of Božava which is surrounded by pine woods, agaves and tamarisk trees. We ride on an almost traffic free road. Our ride takes us first to a beautiful viewpoint at the northernmost point of the Island where the old Austrian lighthouse of Veli Rat resides. From here we continue by bike along the island ridge with beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding island landscapes all the way to the bay of Savar where the boat awaits us for a cruise to Zadar. Zadar has been the political, cultural and spiritual centre of Dalmatia for centuries. 3000 years of history have left their imprint on the character of this town and there are many things to be admired: the mighty fortified walls with their bastions, the loggia and the early Romanesque St. Donatus Basilica. In the evening our tour guide takes us on an extensive walk through the lively city centre.

Day 5: Island of Pag – Rab, approx. 20 km

After a long crossing in the morning we reach the island of Pag. In the harsh but delightful landscape of the island we come across many fig and olive trees. Over the centuries the inhabitants have built numerous stone walls for protection against the wind. Starting from Novalja we cycle on the narrow peninsula until we reach the sea from where the ship takes us to Rab. The island of Rab is one of the sunniest places in Europe. The town of Rab, the fortified capital of the island, was built in the Middle Ages on a wedge shaped headland and marks one of the highlights of the trip. The four famous bell towers are the symbol of the adorned beauty of the town. After dinner we can explore the narrow alleys with numerous cosy cafés.

Day 6: Island of Rab, approx. 25 km

Today we get to know the charming island of Rab on a lovely ride around the island. At lunchtime the ship awaits us in the harbour directly in front of the old town of Rab. We cruise towards the island of Krk and anchor along the way for a refreshing swim stop from the boat. In the late afternoon we reach the island of Krk where we spend the evening in the historical town of Krk.

Day 7: Island of Krk, approx. 45 km

We cycle over the ridge of the island which is covered by fragrant macchia to a valley of vineyards and then onwards to the small museum town of Vrbnik in the northeast. The town built on a 50-meter-high cliff and surrounded by vineyards is the home of the famous white wine Zlahtina. Another peculiarity that Vrbnik has to offer is the second narrowest alley in the world. The way leads us across the island through old villages and rich vegetation to Omišalj. On our way we have a chance to swim in the bay of Soline. The last evening aboard takes place traditionally and includes the communal dinner and a last get-together in a cosy atmosphere with crew and tour guides.

Day 8: Omišalj

After breakfast disembarkation until 9 am and individual trip home or extended stay in Croatia.
