Fun island bike tour
We called into the zzuum office the night before our trip and booked five electric bikes. When we returned the following morning our bikes were labelled and fully ser up with paniers, phone holder etc.. Cycle helmets, locks and puncture repair kit (not needed thankfully) were provided, bike seats adjusted as required and following a brief lesson in how to use the bikes (they're very simple) we were off to the port. One word of warning - we weren't sure if we were meant to ride on the road or the pavement around Zadar so clarify this before you set off! The ferry trip was great and the island of Ugljan is beautiful. Konzum supermarket just as you dock to stock up on essentials. Unfortunately we couldn't follow the self guided route as it wasn't supported by Google maps- had we known this the night before we'd have downloaded a compatible app. No matter, we made our own way following maps and had a lovely day. Stopped at 3 or 4 beaches to swim and did a longer ride up the highway to the town of Ugljan. The bikes were super, used turbo charge when needed on the hills and all in all a great experience. Would recommend zzuum 100%
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We're delighted to hear that the bikes, equipment, and briefing helped you get off to a smooth start. It sounds like you made the most of your day on Ugljan—exploring the island, stopping for swims at the beaches, and enjoying the ride up to the town of Ugljan. We're especially pleased that the e-bikes handled the hills with ease! We also appreciate your note about cycling rules in Zadar, and we'll continue to explain the local regulations before each rental. It was a pleasure welcoming your group, and we hope to see you again on your next visit to Zadar. Thanks again for recommending Zzuum. Best regards to all of you from the Zzuum team!

Stunning island visit, not for the unfit
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
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words about the island! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your visit and appreciated the flexibility of the self-guided option. We understand that the map could have been more user-friendly, especially for navigating back. We’re always looking to improve the experience for our guests, so your feedback about the one-way map is invaluable. We’ll consider this as we work on enhancing our route materials. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!

Excellent value
Excellent communication in advance. The bikes were very well maintained. GPS was very easy to follow. The ferry ride was short. The island was great to ride. One tip, do not buy anything on the ferry. Buy lunch on the island
Response from the operator: It's great to hear you loved the island and enjoyed our bike tour. Thank you for your nice review. I hope we see you again :) It was a pleasure meeting you all. Best regards from Croatia!

Great day out!
This was our first time in Zadar and we often hire bikes/bike tour in other places so thought we would enjoy a self-guided island tour! The island is beautiful and we would love to stay here on our next visit. We were provided with everything that we needed for the trip from locks to spare tires to a huge side bag, meaning we were able to take towels and water shoes. There were a few small things, but this definitely did not affect our day and i would still highly recommend!! Staff at the shop provided us with a map and lovely location for a small town and beach that was a bit further out, but we were really glad we visited as it was so lovely and quiet!! We had bikes booked for 9am through Viator, but received a message to say our ferry was not due till 11:30am and to get there an hour before. We still arrived at 9am as i thought we could catch the 9:30 ferry (I did not realise with a bike you needed to go to the main dock around 25mins away and so we could not catch this one). We did however have the full day as the shop shut at 2pm meaning we were able to keep the bikes overnight and ride them back in the morning which was great for us, as our accommodation was far out! Staff explained to us that we should take the road path as the other path on the map was for mountain bikes (we were given more city bikes). We did however find the distance a long way and the roads were up large hills, next time we would defiantly opt for a mountain bike or an electric bike. We did see that there were also lots of places to hire bikes from as little as €20 a day, i think we would have saved some money in hiring a bike and paying for our own ferry tickets as we easily also used google maps whilst on the island (we had paid £47 each for bike+ferry ticket)
Response from the operator: I'm glad you enjoyed your island adventure and had fun exploring local bike trails and beaches. Thank you for writing a review and hopefully we see you next year :) All the best from Croatia!

Ugljan Island Self-Guided Bike Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zadar.
How much does Ugljan Island Self-Guided Bike Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $63 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zadar usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ugljan Island Self-Guided Bike Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Zadar is not rushed.
Is Ugljan Island Self-Guided Bike Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 34 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Zadar, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ugljan Island Self-Guided Bike Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ugljan Island Self-Guided Bike Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ugljan Island Self-Guided Bike Tour?
+
Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Zadar can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Zadar and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ugljan Island Self-Guided Bike Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Zadar within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Zadar?
+
On Outty we rank every Zadar experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Zadar: Luxury Island Boat Tour, Snorkeling & Unlimited Wine, Zadar Highlights: Old Town, Sea Organ & Local Tastings, From Zadar Plitvice Lakes Guided Day Tour with Tickets. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Zadar?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Zadar?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Ugljan Island Self-Guided Bike Tour?
+
Included: high quality trekking bicycle; accident insurance policy; helmet, safety lock, bike tool kit and a bike pump; and route map and instructions (digital and paper format). Not included: Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Ugljan Island Self-Guided Bike Tour?
+
Departure Point: ZZUUM - active vacation Address: Ulica Federica Grisogona 9 23000 Zadar Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Ugljan Island Self-Guided Bike Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in English and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
