During breakfast the yacht leaves Molat and takes you past several small islands to the ‘spice island’ of Dugi Otok. Your bike tour starts in the bay of Božava which is surrounded by pine woods, agaves and tamarisk trees, and you 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.

After a long crossing in the morning you reach the island of Pag. In the harsh but delightful landscape of the island you will come across many fig and olive trees. Over the centuries the inhabitants have built numerous stone walls for protection against the wind. Starting from Mandre you will cycle on the narrow peninsula until you reach the sea from where the ship takes you to Rab. The island of Rab is one of the sunniest places in Europe. The fortified capital of Rab, was built in the Middle Ages on a wedge shaped headland crowned by the four famous bell towers.
