24 Years Riva Island Hopping As the leading tour operator for cruises in Croatia, we believe in our mission of offering active holidays, combining nature, cuisine and culture of the “Country of thousand Islands”. In 1996, we offered for the first time “Island Hopping by Bike”. The ideal blend of biking holidays and a cruise – for those who wish to explore day by day new landscapes by bike, without having to change their hotel every day. The hotel should rather accompany them – in our case “swim with them” – and avoid every day packing of luggage.
Riva Bike Guides We remember well how in the early years we trained our tour guides for this new kind of tourism. We were able to find either athletic cyclists or tour guides with excellent language skills, but rarely someone who featured both abilities. Today, I.D. Riva Tours has a great team of qualified bike guides who participated in seminars and speak fluent English and German, besides other foreign languages.
Routes & Tours Our bike guides are also our most important advisors when it comes to design the routes – of course, also for this brochure. Their experience is the basis for improving the existing routes, as well as for planning the new ones. We try to describe our tours as accurately as possible. The tour profiles will help you getting an impression about the difficulty level. The altitude information in the profiles is based on measurements taken about every 25 m. The Riva Team, including the Riva bike guides, are always available in case you have any questions.
Kayak & Rafting Excursions by kayak and rafting tours offer refreshing new adventures on our active routes. The tours have an average difficulty level and are suitable for any age. Previous experience is not necessary, and after a brief introduction, you are ready to go. A unique opportunity to experience the breathtaking natural beauty of the Croatian rivers Cetina and Zrmanja and their canyons. The operators and leaders of these trips can look back on many years of experience, and of course they have all necessary licenses.
