Bike Tours in Zadar: 5 Priced and Timed

1.Explore Zadar Bike Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 39 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $65Our pick

Ride roughly 20 to 25 kilometers around Zadar with a local cycling guide, passing beaches, harbors, neighborhoods, the Zadar Sphinx, and Puntamika Lighthouse. Guides such as Ante, Luka, Alex, and Mario lead at a relaxed pace, though one long climb requires decent fitness. Bikes, helmets, and accident insurance are included.

“We anticipated this would be a small group bike tour of the old town, but learned that bikes aren't actually allowed in old town. Instead, we biked all around the outside of the town for various views and history from our guide who was very nice. Alfred Hitchcock said that the Zadar sunset is the best in the world and we have to agree!”

2.Explore Zadar: Laid-Back Fun Bike Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 35 reviews · 2 hours · from $64

Ride beyond Zadar’s old walls with an English-speaking local guide, visiting city beaches, marinas, the Sphinx, Puntamika Lighthouse, Arbanasi, and Kolovare. You’ll stop at a local coffee shop and learn how the city’s coast and neighborhoods fit together. The pace is gentle, but the tour is for ages 16 and older.

“De tour en de gids waren goed. Jammer is dat de tour totaal 2,5 uur duurt waarvan we een half uur verbleven in een horeca bedrijf waar je zelf de consumpties en ook die van de gids moet betalen. Ook kon er niet eens een flesje water af! En dat voor een tour van €55,00 !! De prijs is ook vergeleken met andere bike tours over de hele wereld de hoogste die we hebben moeten betalen met de minste service.”

3.Ugljan Island Self-Guided Bike Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 31 reviews · 4 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $66

Start at zzuum Active Vacation in Zadar, collect a trekking bike, helmet, lock, tools, pump, maps, and route advice, then take the ferry to Ugljan Island. Ride quiet roads, beaches, coves, olive groves, Kali Village, and St Michael’s Lookout at your own pace. Lucas and the zzuum team can help you choose a route that fits your legs and schedule.

“Stunning island and very glad we visited. We didn’t do the full map as we’d done a long cycle earlier in our trip in Netherlands so the bodies didn’t have 38km left in them.. but that’s the beauty of self guided, we could chose where to go and stop. One negative is the map they give you is one way. So cycling back to the meeting point was a bit tricky as to do an exact reverse of the way there meant we were going the wrong way on one way roads”

4.Rent a Bike in Zadar – Helmet, Lock and city map included

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 17 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $24Best value

Pick up a bicycle from Elegance Tours at Ul. Špire Brusine 8 in Zadar and set your own route for up to eight hours. Danny can suggest rides to Nin or Ugljan Island. Your rental includes a helmet, lock, map, bicycle, and listed snorkeling equipment. English service, mobile tickets, and private use make this a flexible way to see Zadar.

“The bike shop was easy to find and in a good spot for getting out of town near a main street/bridge out of the old town. Getting the bike and lock was super fast, in under two minutes had my gear and directions on where to ride. After walking the bike out of the old town, I chose to follow the water and head west/north along fairly well-marked bike paths. This took me past some very nice beaches and areas you could either pay to swim or take a little dip in the water from public areas. There were also some very cute little towns and churches to see along…”
