Join us on a quest to explore Croatia’s mountain scenery on Honda CRF motorcycles – and enjoy the Adriatic Sea aboard a private sailboat.
That’s right, this all-female adventure tour is both about dirt biking and sailing, so pack your riding gear…and your swimmers!
Croatia is so much more than its Adriatic Sea coast, though – we’ll venture inland to see stunning waterfalls, turquoise blue swimming holes, and rugged mountain passes, dining in spectacular local vineyards and ranches along the way.
Croatia Dirt Bikes & Sailboats tour is perfect for beginner/medium-level riders looking to tackle gravel trails, enjoy the wilderness, and get to know Croatia up close and personal in the company of other women.
We’ll be riding places few tourists get to see enjoying Croatia’s pristine nature, sampling local foods and wines, and traversing ancient Roman roads. At the end of the tour, we’ll embark on a full-day private sailboat tour of the Croatian Islands – a perfect way to unwind and relax after a two-wheeled adventure!




Welcome to sunny Split! This stunning medieval seaside town on the Adriatic Coast is our home base for the tour, and we recommend booking earlier flights so you can explore Split a little before we jump on the bikes.
Today, we’ll have a meet-and-greet dinner, get to know each other, and get ready for the next day’s ride.
Leaving Split behind, we’ll pack our Honda CRF motorcycles and head off toward Mount Mosor tackling mountain twisties and light off-road trails. We’ll pass the stunning Peruca Lake and the mouth of River Cetina boasting a turquoise blue swimming hole and follow the Road of Napoleon to see the spectacular River Krka waterfalls. Think jaw-dropping scenery, lunch at a local horse ranch, and off-road routes designed to get you warmed up for the riding ahead.
Our destination of the day is Knin, a famous local ski resort known for its breathtaking mountain views and amazing off-road trails.
After a good night’s sleep, we’ll follow a section of the Trans Euro Trail heading North and enjoying the wilderness on our way to Mount Velebit. This is where you’ll see the side of Croatia few travelers get to explore – a beautiful, remote, and rugged country dotted with tiny villages and forest-clad mountain slopes.
We’ll spend the night in small rustic cabins with roaring fireplaces, an outdoor hot tub, and a sauna sampling local rakia.
Today is the day to conquer the Maester’s Road, one of Croatia’s most stunning motorable mountain passes cresting the rocky peaks and revealing the shimmering blue of the Adriatic Sea below. Steep switchbacks, gravel, and awe-inspiring views are all on the menu today.
We’ll overnight in a seaside resort complete with SPA facilities and freshly caught seafood dishes for dinner.
This is our last day of riding – but the adventure is far from over. We’ll tackle some gravel roads, enjoy the spectacular views of the Croatian coastline from above, and have a traditional, slow-cooked lunch at a vineyard that has been owned by the same family for 500 years.
Next up, we’ll follow the Cikola River canyon trails and end the day with a sunset dinner in Omis, staying at a lux resort offering mimosas for breakfast.
Time to relax and recharge! It’s impossible to fully experience the Adriatic Coast without going on a sailing trip, so today, we’ll leave the bikes behind and go on a private sailboat tour of the Croatian Islands soaking up the sun and enjoying the water.
Pack some sunscreen, your shades, and your swimmers!
