Cycle the Croatian Coast

From big wows to hidden gems, Croatia is a haven for cyclists who love to get off the beaten tourist trail and explore the very heart of the beautiful Dalmatian Coast.

Beautiful vineyards, historical cultural highlights, impressive landscapes and stunning beaches await you on an adventurous cycle tour.

With medium length rides each day along trails and quiet roads, you’ll see sights and hidden gems most will miss or don’t even know about! Pedal leisurely through Hvar’s cobbled lanes, Korčula’s small-town feel, Split’s harbour esplanade and Dubrovnik’s walled history, meet friendly locals, cool off in crystal clear seas and toast a fun day in the saddle with delicious local wine from a nearby vineyard and indulge in local delicacies.

All levels of riders are catered for and cycling tours are very popular with solo travellers. And you certainly won’t feel alone for long as you pedal along quiet rural roads surrounded by newfound friends.

“Taking your bike on the ferries is easy. When in Hvar be sure to enjoy a late afternoon ride to the picturesque harbour town of Jelsa and enjoy delicous tapas on the waterfront”

Lovely to meet you! My love for travel began early—at 19, I left New Zealand with a one-way ticket to London to start my OE, and I’ve never looked back. I spent eight years living overseas, including four incredible years in London, where I explored Europe extensively. (Barcelona still has my heart!)

I began my travel career in Melbourne in 2004, and I knew I’d found my dream job. Even now, I still smile every day coming to work—I truly LOVE what I do.

Helping clients plan their adventures brings me so much joy. I specialise in point-to-point Europe itineraries, and I’m especially passionate about tours and cruising. Whether it’s your first trip or your tenth, I’m here to make your journey smooth, exciting, and unforgettable from start to finish.

I’m known for being friendly, bubbly, and a great listener. I’ll take the time to understand your needs and offer thoughtful advice and suggestions to make your trip the best it can be.

Now based on a dairy farm in Reporoa with my husband and our three young children, I understand the #mumlife juggle—and the importance of taking time out for a well-earned holiday! Having travelled to over 40 countries, I can’t wait to share my experience with you.

Many of my clients have become life long friends.

I have had a lifelong love affair for exploring the world. Raised in a family that prioritised travel, I inherited a passion for all things travel. I have lived in different countries (London, USA, Argentina) and I am fascinated with the rich tapestry of culture, people, religion and food in new places.

My love for travel has taken me to some of the world’s most amazing places!

From Mauritius to Bahamas and all in between, I have been privileged to experience the world and being able to speak and understand 5 languages English, Afrikaans, Dutch, German and Greek) certainly comes in helpful.

I have grown up in South Africa, spending most of my adult life there, being able to show my clients what makes this region so unique is a privilege. Africa was my backyard after all and even after living in NZ for almost 12 years, my heart still beats to the African Drum.

For me, choosing a favourite destination is impossible. But .. Bali has literally captivated my heart, and even though I have been there 20+ times, I still always find new things to uncover. As does the Maldives, Mauritius and Seychelles, these islands just have the “it” factor

I also love ocean cruising, especially Mediterranean and the Caribbean. Cruising offers such a great variety and a chance to see multiple destinations and experiencing iconic landmarks and locations from your hotel on the sea.

I WOULD SAY MY PASSION IS MAKING MY CLIENTS DREAM HOLIDAYS COME TRUE AND I PRIDE MYSELF ON MY EFFICIENT SERVICE AT ALL TIMES.
