        The best activity we did in Croatia
        Croatia is so full of tourists (like me) that its difficult to get a sense of what the country is really like if you only visit the Hvar main town, Dubrovnik, Split etc. Our 30km ebike tour with Hvar Life gave us more of a sense of what Croatia is really like, away from the crowds. This was hands down the best experience we had whilst visiting Croatia. Our guide George was fantastic. He collected us from Hvar old town and dropped us back afterwards. We had a chance to see the beautiful countryside, visit a winery and we had a splendid lunch cooked in a traditional way. it was very interesting and much enjoyed. I would highly recommend this private tour.

        Best way to discover the island
        I rent a 50cc scooter right after leaving the ferry. An employee gave me a very useful map with a suggested route to have a good overview of the island and some restaurant suggestions as well. Then, I rode all day on all the winding mountain roads with my 50km/h pace, not being really bothered by the few cars that have the same speed limit as me. Having a scooter allows to park and stop almost everythere and gives you a feeling of total freedom exploring the island. I gave it back before my ferry departure and spent an awesome day for a good price. Note: it could be a bit scary riding through the dark tunnel to Hvar but no worries, cars will wait calmly behind you and sometimes it seems tricky to ride on top of the hills when it is very windy. But take your time and relax and everything would be fine!

        Private Guided Tour of Hvar - worth every penny.
        If you want to experience the true beauty of Hvar Island, then I wholeheartedly recommend booking a cycling tour with Hvar Life. My partner and I had our private tour with Luca as our guide, who was very knowledgeable, friendly, and great company for our ride around the north of the island. It's clear he has a great deal of passion for the island and his job as a guide (and he took some great photos too)! We were provided with e-bikes for our tour based on Luca's recommendation, which were definitely appreciated during the later climb to Humac! Our tour was absolutely perfect, taking in Stari Grad and the Plains, Vrboska, Jelsa, the 'lost village' of Humac... with some of the most stunning coastal and mountainous routes in-between. We also had two wine-tasting stops as part of the tour, including an intimate tasting session in the cellar of the renowned Duboković Winery in Jelsa... just amazing. The tour was finished perfectly with an authentic Dalmatian dinner at Konoba Humac, which offers panoramic views of the island and beyond from its perch at 350m above sea level. I cannot state enough how beneficial it was having a guide who knew the best and most picturesque routes between our stops. If you are considering just renting bikes and trying to do it yourself (as we initially were), then I implore you to invest in a guide with Hvar Life. We saw and experienced so much more than we could possibly have done alone, including some of the most breathtaking scenery Dalmatia has to offer. It was a fantastic experience and definitely worth every penny. Luka and Massimo - thank you! Joe & Becky

        Had an amazing time with ebikes
        We rented ebikes from hvar.life and it was a good choice. Office is located right at the stari grad port, so we didnt waste much time looking for the place. Owner is an expert and recommended me ebikes instead of mtb and i am glad i listened. We had so much fun trailing from stari grad to hvar, going through beuatiful mountains and peaks with unbelievable beautiful view over sea. Was worried about battery capacity, but after 80km it still had 37 pct left, which would be enough for a detour to Jelsa. After this exciting adrenaline experience, i decied to buy ebike myself.

        Great morning cycling
        My girlfriend and I had a great time with Luca on our trip. We saw parts of the island we otherwise wouldn’t have seen and had a well earned, delicious lunch at a Konoba before heading back. In total the trip was about 5 hours and we covered 31km with frequent breaks for photo’s etc. I would highly recommend if you enjoy cycling and want to explore some of the island. I will definitely rebook when we revisit Hvar.

        Excellent - couldn’t ask for more
        Massimo couldn’t have been more helpful. He was super flexible with arranging the bike pick up and return. The bike was fantastic too and really made the riding more enjoyable, even the hills! Massimo gave me some great advice on routes and even joined me for a couple of rides. I’d definitely recommend Hvar Life and would be keen to try the gravel and off road riding next time I’m here.

        Great day out little Venice and Jelsa just magical
        We were lucky enough to have our tour with Massimo in mid October. The roads he lead us through were almost deserted, what a joy. The bikes were great and the route fantastic. Our fav was Vbroska to Jelsa what a joy deserted roads beautiful places and no traffic- millionaires cycling. We really appreciated Massimo's ability to tailor the tour for ability. Which made the whole day extremely enjoyable.

        Such a fun tour!!
        We booked this tour through our hotel concierge and we LOVED it! Massimo was such a great guide. We were the only 2 on the tour and, as such, we could take our time during the tour if we wanted. The tour takes you through beautiful parts of Hvar - start in Stari Grad, bike through small villages until you end up in Jelsa, stop for delicious coffee/gelato/cakes in Jelsa, continue biking through countryside until arrive at beautiful farm where you can have lunch (ALL included in price). You then bike back through Stari Grad. Overall, the ride is easy. There is a bit of a climb on your way to a hilltop town, but Massimo will let you stop and/or slow down the pace to make sure you make it up the hill comfortably and safely. Massimo was so fun and kind. It was great to get to know him. He took pictures of the whole tour and then send them to me through WhatsApp. This tour was our favorite part of our trip to Hvar, and possibly our favorite part of our whole trip to Croatia! You should ABSOLUTELY book it!

        MTB bike hire
        My husband wanted to cycle on Hvar island. He could hire a buke, shoes and helmet. The service was helpful, efficient and excellent. The rides on the island are not for the fainthearted.

        Nice bike
        Rented an MTB for a full day of cycling. Bike was very good for a rental bike. They only have hard tails, no full suspension bikes, but turns out that was totally fine considering the tracks available. Very helpful staff giving recommendations on tracks. The cycling as such was however a bit of a dissapointment. No single tracks available, only gravel roads and similar. The view from the top of the island was however spectacular. So still worth it!

        Best Part of my Trip to Hvar
        Had a great day with Massimo on the trails and roads through Hvar. The island has so much beautiful scenery and small towns to explore. Massimo knows the best places to go and does a fantastic job tailoring to your wants and needs. Couldn’t have picked a better thing to do.

        Great MTB trip
        We did a guided mtb trip with Mossimo. Bikes are quality hard tails. Shop had shoes and clip pedals for us to use. Mossimo takes you all over the island on trails you will never find on your own. Also makes stops at cool places. Riding isn’t super technical. lots of climbing, mostly on double track. When one of our riders got injured (not Mossimo’s fault) he was great about making sure he got treatment. Highly recommended for mtb and I’m sure the road biking is great as well. Great experience.

      Hvar is a cyclist’s heaven! With challenging mountain trails, seaside windy roads, and plush vineyard flatland... it’s certainly an experience to remember. I stopped to swim in many of the emerald green bays to cool off before carrying on with my ride and it was glorious.

      I rented an electric bike from Hvar Life and I’m so glad I did. It helped me get through the more strenuous climbs. Massimo was very accommodating with my needs which at first where battery exchanges and then a charger and seat adjustments for my husband. He gave me a map of the island which is pretty big and provided excellent customer service over all.

      There are two Hvar Life shops on the island, one in Hvar and one in Stadi Grad so it’s convenient to rent regardless which side of the island you are. I highly recommend exploring the lesser known villages of Stadi Grad, Vrboska, and my favorite Yelsa. They are very charming and have beautiful places to swim. Of course Hvar is wonderful too with lots of shopping, dining, and more lovely setting.

      The prices are fair. The bikes are new and in excellent condition. The ebikes I rented were mountain bikes with thick tires that made it easy to ride off road.

      I wish I could find such a great bike rental shop as Hvar Life in every place I visit because exploring by bike is such an incredible way to see the world. I can’t wait to do it again next summer!

      With little forward planning on my behalf; I contacted Hvar Life with a view to hiring a road bike for a solo or guided ride.
      They suggested that I go along and see them.
      We discussed the options,we agreed I would do a solo road ride with the route supplied by HL.
      As it was a last minute decision I was badly prepared.
      HL really helped with everything; they went above and beyond.
      The quality of the bike was perfect and in excellent condition as was all the kit.
      Their service is outstanding and above all else professional.
      The route was prepared with a good mix of climbing and took in some of the best views.
      Very highly recommend!

      One of the best bike rental shops we have ever experienced in Europe. Riccardo is an expert with bikes and fitting. We rented road bikes for four days. Very high quality bikes, Cannondale Synapse, with Ultegra Di2 components. Disc brakes. Proper climbing gears. Perfect!
      He took a lot of time to fit the bikes to our size and needs. The bikes are in excellent condition, smooth shifting, powerful breaks with minimal effort. Just couldn't be better!
      He gave us very helpful info on roads to cycle throughout the island. Communication prior to our arrival was great. Highly recommend!

      Big Thanks to the guys in Hvar Life. They made the booking process very easy and the tour with Massimo was excellent.
      This is the best way to see the island. I rented the bike for a further 2 days and I saw more on the bike than any guided tour in a car.

      The bikes are in excellent condition

      Thanks guys, I’ll 100% use again
