What is Island hopping?

Hiking with Bay

Island hopping trips are combined hiking and ship trips resp. cycling and ship trips, which last one or two weeks. Our destinations are  Croatia, Greece and Turkey and we provide qualified, multilingual tour guides (More about the tours ).

Normally you will be accompanied by two tour guides, who will guide you during the cycling tours and will give you an understanding of the country and its inhabitants. During your trip you will be accomodated on a romantic motorised sailing boat or a motor yacht. The cook will amaze you with typical food of the country. Our ships have space for  20 - 36 guests in double cabins with private shower/WC (More about the ships ).

This way you have the possibility to get to know a country on a different kind: without packing bags every day  and without caring for ferry connections. Our cycling tours are performed without hurry, as it is very important to us, that you have enough time to enjoy the landscape and to gain impressions. We provide well maintained rental bicycles on every trip (More about the rental bicycles).

Our philosophy:

  • Activity
  • Relaxation
  • Pleasure
  • Culture
A picture is worth a 1000 words


  • Pictures speak louder than words.


  • Therefore our tour-guides Jennie and Tobi have made in our order a filmlet about our trip to the Central Greek Aegean .

2008 is Island hopping's 10th anniversary. Therefore we offer a very special program for the season 2008, which includes not only our versatile, successful tours in the Mediterranean, but also to the Seychelles and to Vietnam.

We start the season 2008 in March with a trip to Vietnam - a country full of originality, overwhelming nature and mysterious monuments of times gone by. It is a country full of contrasts, with bustling, vibrant cities and rural districts where time seems to have stood still. The same tour is also offered twice in autumn. (more about this trip...)

During the summer 2008 we invite you to exlore with Island hopping the Seychelles, one of the last paradises on earth. The islands of the Seychelles are scattered across the Indian Ocean like a string of diamonds. The delicate coconut trees complete the lovely landscape together with the sculptured granite rocks and the white beaches – a true dream that one can still genuinely experience nowadays.

The highlight of the jubilee is our New Year's trip to the Seychelles, where you can spend the New Year’s Eve in an extraordinary environment on the world and being active in warm regions next to it. This tour is already fully booked up. Due to the great demand we decided to open a second date for this trip which will take place directly after the first one in January 2009.
