The Green Tour

Croatia has a beautiful coast with thousands of islands, reefs, and bays. Numerous romantic ruins, charming hills, countless natural beauties and phenomena are just waiting to be discovered. We invite you to spend a week on one of our ships, cruising between the mainland and the islands on one of our easiest tours. Delicious cuisine, beautiful sites, a friendly crew, and knowledgeable tour guides await your arrival. Starting in Trogir, we visit two National Parks as well as the islands of Central Dalmatia. Highlights of the tour include UNESCO protected old town of Trogir, Primošten, Šibenik, with its famous cathedral, and Zadar, as well as the National Park Krka-Waterfalls, and the Kornati Islands. On a romantic motor yacht, our floating accommodation for the week, we discover the charm of the Adriatic in this wonderful way.

1st Day: Trogir (Embarkation) – Rogoznica

Individual arrival either by car to Trogir or by plane to Split. After checking in on the motor yacht between 2 and 2:30 pm in Trogir we head off on our first cruise at 3 pm to Rogoznica – a village on a small island that is connected to the mainland by a dam. Here we spend our first night.

2nd Day: Rogoznica – Primošten – Šibenik – Skradin (aprx. 12 mi./20 km)

In the morning we cycle from Rogoznica to Primošten. From there the boat takes us to the city of Šibenik, where the Krka River flows into the Adriatic Sea. After visiting the famous cathedral and the lovely old town we set off on the boat again. On the cruise, we pass the lower course of the Krka River, following the river bend until we reach Skradin. We spend our night in the small village harbour.

3rd Day: National Park of Krka – Vodice (aprx. 22 mi./36 km)

The charming port of Skradin is the starting point for today’s excursion by boat and on foot to the most famous part of the Krka National Park with its unique, thundering waterfalls. After our excursion through this lush green wonderland, we enjoy lunch before setting off on our bicycles from Skradin to the well-known holiday town of Vodice. The boat will await our arrival and we will spend the night in Vodice.

4th Day: Vodice – Island of Murter – Nature Park Telašćica (aprx. 16 mi./25 km)

In the morning we cycle from Vodice to Murter Island, which is connected to the mainland by a lift bridge in the town of Tisno. We cycle over the bridge and along the waterfront, passing by two old coastal villages, until we reach a small jetty. From here, we enjoy a spectacular sail through the Kornati National Park, an archipelago in crystal clear water, known for its rich aquatic life, until we reach the Nature Park Telašćica. In the evening, we take a walk through the park and along the island’s stunning cliffs. A salt lake and a family of donkey also characterise the nature park and make for a wonderful location to spend a quiet night.

5th Day: Island of Dugi Otok – Zadar (aprx. 17 mi./28 km)

After breakfast we start our bike tour from the Telašćica Nature Park, along a virtually traffic-free, panoramic road across the island. During the ride we’re treated to countless unforgettable views of neighbouring islands, breaking through the deep blue sea. We meet the ship in Savar and board for a crossing to the city of Zadar, which for centuries was the political, cultural, and spiritual centre of Dalmatia. Once we arrive, there is the opportunity to take part in a walking tour during which you will find out all about this fascinating city while strolling through the winding alleys and the lively old town, characterised by 3,000 years of history. The night is spent in Zadar.

6th Day: Islands of Ugljan and Pašman – Primosten (aprx. 20 mi./33 km)

During breakfast, the boat crosses to the island of Ugljan at the channel of Zadar. Today there is plenty of time to cycle through and explore both the islands Ugljan and Pašman, connected by a bridge. As we cycle along the east coast, we can enjoy beautiful views of the sea and the mainland. After our bike tour, we sail back to the city of Primosten on the mainland. Here we can enjoy some time swimming and exploring the quaint sea-side village. The night is spent in Primosten.

7th Day: Island of Šolta – Trogir (aprx. 9 mi./15 km)

In the morning, we cruise to the island of Šolta. Olive and fig trees as well as lush farmland border the streets. The spicy smell of rosemary follows us throughout the whole tour around the tranquil island until we reach the village Grohote. At mid-day, we enjoy our last cruise back to Trogir. Here we have enough time to visit the UNESCO World Heritage old town. Our last dinner gives us time to reminisce on the week that past and to say goodbye to fellow travellers, the crew, and tour guides.

8th Day: Trogir (Disembarkation)

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

YOUR ACCOMMODATION:

YOUR ShiP – SAN SNOVA

At 31 x 8 m the wooden motor yacht, San Snova, took to the water in 2009 and has worked exclusively with Islandhopping ever since. The construction took shape over the course of three years and set a milestone for the boat-building scene in Croatia, as it is the last wooden boat of its kind to have been built. The 14 guest cabins are air-conditioned with a shower and WC. The crew on board pay special attention to cleanliness and maintenance of the ship and radiate a friendly and inviting atmosphere to the guests.

Group riding pace
On our regular cycling tours, the cyclists on regular bicycles determine the pace. We ask guests who have reserved an e-bike to be mindful of this and to acknowledge that the regular cyclists need time to rest and take longer to climb the hills. We thank you for your understanding.
