We rented two mountain bikes from Discover Solta. The mountain bikes were in excellent condition and felt brand new. We were picked up at the ferry and were able to drop the bikes off there when we finished. Frane was very hospitable and offered us excellent routes to discover his island. Very friendly and super helpful! We were even able to try some of the award winning olive oil :)
Would recommend to anyone who wants a great experience in Solta.

If you like cycling and exploring the island, run and rent a quality mountain bike from them. Great welcome, efficient transfer and quality support. Despite our adventures and punctures, they kept smiling and were always there. A big thank-you. If we come back to Solta, we will come straight back to get bikes. Thank you for everything 😊🙏🏻. Celine

Unfortunately we were too lazy to bring our own mountain bikes to Solta. After seeing all of the available mountain bike paths around the island we decided to rent some. If you dont have access to a boat, it is the best way to check out some of the isolated swimming coves.
Despite being the end of the summer season, they were already booked out for most of the week, so I would strongly recommend reserving bikes as soon as possible.
On the day of our reservation, the guys at Discover Solta sat down with us and a map of the island and gave us many recommendations on what the different trails were like down to different coves and where potential hazards (loose dogs) were. They provided us with Cube mountain bikes, helmets, fresh water bottles, a map, locks, pump and a backpack. The bikes had front suspension, triple gears in the front and disc brakes but were only available in compact frames which felt a little small for me (5'11) compared to my own bike. Three of the bikes were in great shape but the rear derailer on the 4th bike needed a tune up. Hint - try and take them for a quick test ride when you pick them up, just to make sure that everything is working properly.
Mountain biking in Solta was fun! The island is covered in unsealed roads that go down to different swimming coves, or run between the towns. The surface varied from loose rocks and pot holes to smooth compacted dirt. Although the paths were always wide enough for a car/tractor, they were also pretty steep in places. Keep in mind that the main road runs along the central ridge of the island, so the towns and beaches are normally at least 150m down hill, great fun on the way down but definitely harder on the way up, especially after a long swim!

A great day experiencing the Island by bike. Marko and his family gave us all the equipment (including water) and information we needed. They even recommended some restaurants and beaches to go to at the end of the ride which was really helpful.
It is challenging at times but well worth it as the Island is beautiful and peaceful.
The ride took about 1 and a half to two hours but really didn’t feel like it. We then had a few hours to eat, drink and swim before being taken back to the ferry by Marko.
I highly recommend Discover Solta, they made the trip so easy and they are very passionate about their Island....this was definitely one of the best days of our holiday.

Having a private tour of an olive grove with the owner was an exceptional experience but was so much more. Frane who picked us up did not just explain about olives and olive oil but about the island, the economy, the herbs, anything we asked. His son Marko was already cooking lunch when we had forgotten to mention a gluten intolerance. No problem, the pasta was replaced with a risotto whipped up at the last minute. The risotto was the best I have had in Croatia. Marko then drove us to the far end of the island where we walked around a picturesque village for 30 minutes or so then drove us back to the ferry where we found a rocky beach and had a lovely swim. A day in paradise!
I found myself comparing the day to a show you would see on the food network but instead of the host of the show being shown this beautiful paradise it was me. Of our 10 days in Croatia this was the best and that is saying a lot because it is a beautiful place.
My only hint: bring water shoes to Croatia and to the island. I did not know about the sea urchins and had to be very careful.

We caught the ferry from Split to Solta, where Marcos greeted us in his white ‘Discover Solta’ van. He was very polite, pleasant, and informative. We immediately headed uphill taking in beautiful views of the sea and countryside.
First stop: Tvrdik Honey to meet beekeeper Goran. He shared his passion for bees and honey and taught us things we had never thought about. Very interesting!!! (And the honey tasted good too!)
Next stop: Marinac Winery to meet Tomislav. His charming estate was built over a period of 10 years using stones cut by hand! Very quaint and very good wine!
Last stop: Olynthia Olive Oil, where we met Marcos’ father, Frane. He walked us through the process of making the olive oil, describing what makes a top quality oil. He (tried) to teach us how to taste the oil like the experts (I’m not quitting my day job)! We tasted 2 extra virgin oils and several infused oils. My inexperienced palate thinks this is the best EVOO I have ever had! And, Frane was very engaging and fun!!
I highly recommend this tour for a laid back, informative and scenic afternoon! Warning: you may think of nothing except when you get to eat that delicious olive oil again!!!

Šolta is really a nice place for biking. There are nice trails with great views. Due to the perfect organization of the self-guided bike tour we really enjoyed the whole day. Everything was done professionally and uncomplicated. We booked and paid online. The owner was very friendly and was easy to talk to. He gave us a good breakfast and top-quality gears.
He also gave us good recommendation about route and difficulty.

This activity is a great way to get away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Split. Marko was prompt, friendly, and informative. He was at our meeting point when we arrived by ferry, and he took us to Olyntha Olive Oil in Gornje Selo. We were treated to a nice breakfast, and were outfitted with excellent bikes, helmets, water, and a map with recommended routes. Solta is hilly, but the journey was very enjoyable. Bring a swimsuit and a good book, since you will have at least a couple of hours to relax before the evening ferry.

The great experience started withe their website ane ease of use and booking. The next was the fantastic levels of customer support and information.
I initially booked a wine honey and olive oil tour and was so impressed i ended up using Discover Solta for all of out transfers around the island, another tour and even a boat transfer off the island. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them. It was refreshing pleasant dealing with them!
The tours are fantastic. You meet locals who are passionate aboit their crafts such as wine making, producing honey or making some of the best olive oil i have ever tasted.
The transports are fantastic and just as informative about the island as the tours! Even if you want to have dinner at a restaurant in another village they are there.
The second tour was spectacular and one of the best i have been on. They are passionate about what they done and life on the island and they share that with you. These are not bland tours but hands on discovery of the islands. On this tour you will see beaolive groves, eat figs of the tree and see spectacular views. One small hit... bone up on your knowledgeof herbs!
The lunch, olive oil and wine afterwords back at the olive mill was excellent. It all comes with a master class in tasting and understanding olive oil.
If you are coming to Solta do one or more if the tours that will suit you, but given the service we experienced all of them would be fantastic.
The Discover Solta mill sells all of their olive oils plus other delicious treats... just be prepared to go over you baggage limits!

I will be staying here next April 2020 and would like to visit Vis also. Is there a boat from Solta to Vis??
Written June 6, 2019
There is no direct boat line from Solta to Vis. Regular boat line departs from Split. From Solta you can only arrange private transfer or tour.
