Croatia: The Dalmatian Coast, Korčula & Dubrovnik
If your dream vacation involves cycling Croatia’s magical Pelješac Peninsula and the island of Korčula, then look no further. From your seaside vantage point, you’ll enjoy spectacular views of azure Adriatic waters as you contemplate your discoveries. Since this self-guided cycling vacation gives you the independence to choose your own adventure, you might decide to cycle extra miles—discovering ancient fishing villages and vineyards where you can taste local grk white wine. Or perhaps a day on the water is more your speed—inspiring you to kayak, paddleboard, windsurf, or simply relax and wriggle your toes in the sand. With independence and round-the-clock VBT support, this self-guided Croatia vacation gives you all of the choice and none of the worry.

What an amazing trip to Croatia- the Dalmatian coast! My husband and I had an incredible experience on our very first VBT self guided vacation! Yes, we are already talking about another and we haven’t even made it back home. From the luxurious hotels, detailed itinerary, to our amazing host, Andrej, we had the best time! We were throughly surprised how much we were connected to our host since we were on a self guided tour. Andrej went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. One thing that would have been helpful to know is that If you do go to Mljet National Park, you can bring your bike on the Krilo ferry. We didn’t realize we would want our bikes until we were already there. There are paths all around the lakes for bikes and you can rent there too. Excellent experience with VBT! I highly recommend this trip!
Incredible first VBT trip!
Croatia is beautiful and my husband and I had a lovely vacation there. The trip was well organized but we were both a bit disappointed with several of the rides. Two were from our hotel to another location and then back again along the same route. There were also several rides that were too short for us so we did them twice. Our favorite ride was almost 40 miles, had significant altitude, and incredible scenery. We felt like we had really worked that day. The electric bikes worked very well and were much appreciated. Our hotels were all modern and conveniently located. We're already looking at another VBT biking trip for next year.
