About islandhopping / inselhüpfen

Written by the company

ENGLISH - Islandhopping was founded in 1998 as a specialist tour operator for combined bike & boat tours and has been part of the brand portfolio of Boat Bike Tours B.V. since 2024. At Islandhopping, activity and relaxation are on the same wavelength! We offer a wide range of varied one-week vacation trips with bike & boat, MTB & boat, road bike & boat, e-bike & boat as well as family-friendly adventure cruises.

Our comfortable passenger ships sail to the most beautiful islands and coasts of the Mediterranean - mainly in Croatia, Greece, and Turkey. Not to be forgotten are our very popular sailing & cycling tours in Scotland & Denmark/Sweden. Exotic destinations such as Vietnam and selected hotel & bike tours in Greece, Albania and South Africa are also part of our program.

Islandhopping is more than just a vacation. The idea of combining biking and a boat is as simple as it is ingenious! A ship becomes your floating hotel, equipped with comfortable cabins with en-suite bathrooms, on-board galley, cozy saloon with bar and dining area, seating and lounging options on the outside decks and, of course, storage space for the bikes.

Boat and Bike touring in Dalmatia

Well organised tour on the Beautiful ship Magellen. All the boat staff and the tour staff were fabulous, professional, freindly and fun.
The food was excellent and served by the most efficient restaurant staff.
The bike tours were fabulous and took place across several islands. The bike tours could have been further in distance, especially on the islands of Brac, Hvar and Solta. I think the group of 30 cyclists was too big and potentially dangerous. It would have been nice to have more options for bike hire other than the ebikes, such as a hard tail MTB.
There was also opportunities to swim from the boat, which was perfect. However, I think the lenth of the swim stops could have been lengthened in time, rather than rushing into the harbour, where we couldn't swim.
Overall a great trip.

The staff on the boat were exceptional.

The staff on the boat were exceptional. The guides had to make some adjustments on biking routes and locations due to unfortunate circumstances. Everything went perfectly. Our guides were amazing.

This is one of the best vacations ever! The ship is beautiful and beautifully maintained. The staff are excellent and very nice as well. The food was gourmet in every respect. The bike guides were very helpful, personable and knowledgeable which made the whole experience fantastic! The ship is the perfect size for making friends and working efficiently and the bikes were well maintained. We are already looking to do another trip next year!

Not as good as previous tours

Not as good as previous tours, very expensive and not value for money. Boat fine but no indoor space so all meals on the deck which was not shaded at all times, so made for unpleasant dining. Also it meant no shady areas to sit and read. Tour guide was abrasive. Speed of cycles far too fast so group very spread out, if only one guide as normal on this tour not good for health and safety of the quests. ( we were fortunate as 2 extra quizzes as boat not fully sold).

Worth the money!

Croatia is simply gorgeous. The staff on Linda were great. The boat was a bit tired and had some quirks. Doors and drawers didn't close or got stuck, Bedding was worn and could use a refresh. The cycling, while beautiful was on too many busy roads for my liking. When were on smaller roads or in the forest, solid 10 out of 10. Cycling was easy on the ebike except maybe that first hill which was insane! Maybe even a little too easy overall .. could have added some more mileage for sure... The breakfasts were great, but overall the food was not to my liking. Although other guests thought it was great so I think Im just fussy. Service was very good. I think it was good value for the money. Tour was well organized in terms of moving from island to island, docking and having a chance to explore each port. Highlight was when the captain would anchor in the middle of nowhere and we could swim off the boat. So much fun! Would definitely recommend especially to those who are newer to cycling.

Boat and Bike Tour - Turkey

Overall my Boat Bike tour of Turkey far exceeded my expectations for the following reasons -
Turkey is a beautiful country including its people, culture, religion, history, provision for tourists, rugged terrain and lush vegetation, to name a few.
The Gulet named The Admiral is a beautiful vessel and maintained to a very high standard by its crew. The sleeping and bathroom facilities were roomy, comfortable and cleaned daily. I was very happy with my room. The dining, rest areas and bar facilities were exceptional.
Dropping anchor in beautiful bays to enable riders to have a swim after a day's ride was so enjoyable.
The kindness, support and professionalism of the boat and bike teams was second to none. They went out of their way to ensure we had a memorable experience.
The Bike Team manager (Ali) was very knowledgeable of the history of Turkey. He had an amazing ability to tell the story.
The boat and bike teams were very conscious of safety procedures and to the best of their ability ensured that all riders were kept safe both on the road and sea.
We were blessed to have an amazing bunch of riders join us from the UK and USA to join us.

A wonderful boat and bike.

The guides Giota and Jack were awesome. They, the boat captain, and crew had to pivot multiple times due high wind conditions on most of the days. The captain had safety top of mind always. We missed two days of riding and two of the islands, and other rides were shortened. I still give five stars as everyone pulled together to make sure we had a great experience. The food was awesome and the boat was spotless. Our below deck cabin had a diesel odour and the overnight generator was loud, but we knew in advance we weren’t signing up for 5-star accommodation- our expectations were not unmet. The cycling was rated as 4/5 which imo is accurate for unassisted bikes. If you’re reasonably fit and enjoy climbing, you’ll like these routes. The unassisted bikes are heavy but the gearing is generous, it will get you to the top. Just not as quite quickly as with an e-bike.

Superb bike and boat experience

Everything about our experience on the Admiral and off the sea riding around the Lycian Coast was amazing. The boat crew, our e-bikes, the ride leaders and support crew could not be faulted. We were treated with wonderful food and great history information along the way. Booking the trip was easy and communication from the company excellent!

Guides and crew were great

Guides and crew were great. Food was excellent. Boat was beautiful with plenty of space. Water was warm enough for swimming in mid May. Captain rearranged itinerary based on weather but we still hit all the islands and got a little extra riding in.

Türkiye trot

Biking Türkiye organization was top notch and the staff were attentive. We felt safe navigating challenging terrain. E-Bikes were a perfect match to the topography: Maneuverable and not too clunky. I had to call IH/BB multiple times w/questions prior to the trip and was able to make immediate contact at any hour from the U.S. Thanks for an unforgettable ride.

The boat was fantastic

The boat was fantastic, we were able to leave our bags early and walk around fethiye some more. Check in was easy. The cabin was clean and the bed was comfortable. There was only 6 guests on this trip so the crew outnumbered us so service was exceptional. The food was outstanding with so much to choose from. Our guide was great, explained our route each morning and having the support van was helpful. The roads were a little rough at times but the scenery made up for that. Not being big cyclists couldn't have done it without the ebike.we totally enjoyed the trip

Split to Dubrovnik

Our Boat was great. Room was clean, bathroom spacious, bed comfy. Room refresh each day was nice, and they always remembered to leave an extra sheet as requested. Staff was friendly. Bar prices were reasonable. Some entrees were questionable, such as steak tartar & squid ink risotto. Great fruit options each day. A drawback one day was a bike ride of 7 miles, VERY LAME, VERY LAME. Bikes were in grt condition, and any issue was addressed by staff quickly. Other big LAME, having to pay $80 each of us for coffee, tea & water. I do not drink coffee or tea, and I did not drink $8 of water, much less $80. My wife said the coffee was forgettable. Also lame, for our last nite, we arrived at island mid-afternoon, and there was nothing open, nothing to do, thought I was on Gilligan's Island. Although sea was cold, staff did give us 2 opportunities to swim, which was nice & we did.

Croatia was beautiful and charming

Croatia was beautiful and charming. I had just finished a tour in Italy with a different tour company, and this Inselhupfen tour was much better than that Italy tour. Our tour guides did a great job, and they were knowledgeable and friendly.
