The experience

The tour begins in Žedno, a small village at the island's peak, where you'll get a 30-minute safety briefing before climbing onto a full-automatic quad. No prior riding experience is needed. The bikes are built to handle, and the guide walks you through the controls. You'll wear a helmet, a branded dust mask to keep the trail out of your lungs, and carry bottled water. Then you head out onto the dirt roads that cross the island's interior.

The 25 km route climbs to the eastern point of Island Čiovo, where you stop for a panoramic view of Split and the surrounding islands: a natural photo break before the ride continues. From there, the trail leads to a 16th-century monastery hidden in the cliffs above the Adriatic, a place most visitors to the region never find. You have time to explore it on foot, then ride back to the start point through the same landscape you came in on. If rain arrives, the tour doesn't stop. Free rain jackets keep you dry and riding.

The 3-hour option adds an extra route along the coast and a swim at a small, isolated beach on the island's southern side. Morning tours run 10:00–12:00, afternoon 14:00–17:00, and evening 18:00–20:00. Free parking sits at the meeting point. Bring clothes to change into afterward: off-road riding means dust, and it's part of the experience.
