A tried-and-tested way to enjoy a stunning self-guided adventure through Croatia’s Dalmatian Islands - with your own friends, on your own schedule.
What if you could enjoy the ride of a lifetime, cycling through sun-drenched islands, taking ferries to hidden towns, exploring vineyards, and ending each day with a swim or a sunset beer - without ever needing to follow a tour group?

The Freedom
To ride with friends, not strangers, on your schedule

Personalised Croatia Trip Planning - £395 per trip
You might enjoy organising your own holidays, but that doesn't mean you want to spend evenings working out cycling routes, ferry connections, the best islands to stay on, bike hire, transfers and how far your group should ride each day.
That's where I can help.
I've already planned and ridden this journey through the Dalmatian Islands. I'll use that experience to adapt the trip around your group, your dates and the way you like to travel.
You remain completely independent. You make your own bookings, pay suppliers directly and choose what suits you.
I take away much of the research, uncertainty and guesswork.
What you get
- The complete £69 Cycle Croatia Toolkit
- A detailed planning questionnaire so I understand your group
- A personalised itinerary based around your dates and preferred daily distances
- Route adjustments and rest-day options where appropriate

- Luggage-transfer options where available
- Restaurant and stop suggestions

- Email support during the planning process, with replies within 24 hours
£395 for the whole trip - not per person.
Whether there are two of you or ten of you, I deal with one nominated group organiser.
You stay in control
Cycle4Fun doesn't book hotels, flights, ferries or bikes for you, take supplier payments or act as a tour operator.
I'll give you the route, research, recommendations and experience to help you put together the trip confidently, then you choose and book what works for you.

FAQs
Do I need to be super fit?
Not at all. This trip is designed for leisure cyclists. There are some hills, but nothing unmanageable with pacing and planning. Plus, it wouldn't do you any harm to do some training rides!
What bike can I ride?
You can take your own bike or you can hire, and I'll guide you on both options. The routes are good for all bikes - road bikes, hybrids, and e-bikes.
How long is each day?
Over the 6 days, the average length of riding per day is 54k (34 miles), however there are some longer and some shorter days. I work on an average speed of 16k/h (10 miles per hour), some of you will be quicker than this. I can adapt all routes to suit your own personal needs.
How steep are the hills?
The hills are moderate, but most people will not find this trip hard. If you are worried about hills I encourage you to hire an e-bike - don't let hills put you off, that is how you see the best views!
Can I use this if I want to go in a different month / route / length?
Yes — the tools and templates are flexible, and I explain how to adapt the plan.
Can I do this trip solo or with a partner?
Absolutely. It works for solo riders, couples, or groups.
How do I access the maps and links?
All files and links are included in your download. Each route is saved in GPX and most other formats.
Is there a refund?
Due to the digital nature of the product, all sales are final, but I’m confident you’ll love it.
Who Am I?
Hi, I’m Alan — I’ve spent over a decade planning and leading group cycling trips all over Europe and beyond: through Croatia, the Alps, the Julian Alps and Tatra Mountains, Colombia, and Japan.
I created these toolkits because I want more people to have the same life-changing experiences as me, without having to join a group tour or figure everything out the hard way.
Cycling experiences don't have to be scary or expensive.
These are the exact resources I’ve refined after years of guiding riders of all ages, abilities, and confidence levels.
Now I’m giving them to you, so you can plan your dream trip without stress, guesswork, or expensive agencies.
