This tour is designed for riders with previous mountain biking experience. The route includes rocky trails, loose gravel sections, technical descents, and demanding climbs. Participants should feel comfortable riding off-road for several consecutive days and handling varied terrain.
The tour is rated as technically challenging and combines cross-country (XC) riding with sections of singletrack, rocky coastal trails, forest roads, and traditional Dalmatian gravel tracks. While no advanced enduro skills are required, good bike handling skills are strongly recommended.
A front-suspension XC mountain bike with reliable gearing and hydraulic disc brakes is ideal for the route. Riders can bring their own bike or rent one of our professionally maintained MTB XC bikes equipped for the terrain found on the Dalmatian islands and mainland trails.
Unlike traditional cycling holidays that mainly follow paved coastal roads, this MTB adventure focuses on off-road exploration. Riders discover hidden island trails, rugged inland landscapes, panoramic viewpoints, olive groves, and remote villages that most visitors never reach. More than half of the route takes place on gravel roads and off-road terrain.
Participants should be capable of riding between 40 and 65 km per day with elevation gains ranging from approximately 400 to 950 metres. This tour is best suited to active cyclists who regularly ride mountain bikes and enjoy multi-day endurance challenges.
This self-guided mountain bike holiday includes riding on the islands of Ugljan and Pašman, as well as routes through the Zadar hinterland and the area around Vransko Lake Nature Park. The combination of island trails and mainland terrain creates one of the most diverse MTB experiences in Croatia.
No advanced navigation skills are required. You will receive GPX tracks and route information for each riding day. The routes can be followed using a GPS device or smartphone, allowing you to focus on the riding experience while exploring Croatia’s best mountain biking trails.
The Zadar region offers a unique combination of rocky Mediterranean trails, island riding, panoramic sea views, historic villages, and extensive gravel networks. With year-round riding opportunities and hundreds of kilometres of off-road routes, it has become one of Croatia’s leading destinations for cross-country and adventure mountain biking.

Fort St. Michael is situated 265 m above sea level. It dates from the 13th century when it was a Venetian fortress. However, today it is not a fortress any more but a popular viewpoint. There both locals and tourists come to enjoy the view over the beautiful Zadar channel.

This picturesque little island is located in the vicinity of the town of Nin. In fact, during the low tide, you can reach it on foot, as it becomes a part of the mainland. If you want to learn more about local traditions, join the annual pilgrimage to Our Lady of Zečevo and enjoy the hospitability of the local people.

Three Islands Tour will lead you to the island Pašman. It is a part of the Zadar archipelago and attracts lots of tourists every year. Sandy beaches, homemade wine and olive oil, hospitable locals and amazing nature are only some of the reasons why you should visit Pašman.
