Blue Lagoon Split–Trogir Tour: Everything You Need to Know
Turquoise water, a white-sand seabed, and a hidden island bay 30 minutes from Split. The Blue Lagoon tour is the perfect day on the Adriatic.
Do you believe a new adventure can fill your soul? Visiting Dalmatia without seeing the Blue Lagoon would be a missed opportunity to experience the kind of natural beauty that genuinely stays with you.
If you're looking for the perfect day out for the whole family — or a romantic escape, or an adventure with friends — the island of Veliki Drvenik and its blue lagoon has everything: beautiful beaches, incredible views, and the kind of calm water that makes you want to stay forever.
Where is the Blue Lagoon?
The Blue Lagoon is a natural bay located on the island of Drvenik Veli, west of Split and north of the island of Šolta. It's a popular destination for boat trips and is just 30 minutes away by speedboat. The site is perfect for diving enthusiasts — calm, shallow turquoise water with a sandy and rocky bottom teeming with fish species. Recreational snorkelers and scuba divers alike find it ideal.
Island hopping: see the world in a day
Island hopping means traveling between multiple islands in a single day. With a speedboat tour, you leave slow ferries and crowds behind entirely — so you can focus on the journey, the scenery, and the company.
This type of trip is uniquely rewarding: you see several different landscapes, swim in multiple bays, and experience a real slice of Dalmatian coastal life in just a few hours. Each stop offers something different — and you leave with the kind of memories that are hard to replicate any other way.
Amenities on the island
Once you're done with sea activities, you can choose between two very different spots on the island. Konoba Krknjaši is a family restaurant offering fresh grilled seafood, home-grown ingredients, and a garden setting with lagoon views. Beach bar Škoy — whose name comes from škoj, Croatian for 'small isle' — is nestled into the untouched nature, where you can sit in the shade with a cocktail in hand.
Why the Blue Lagoon beats city beaches
Unlike other coastal towns, there are no urban distractions here — just a peaceful village and the crystal-clear waters of Veli Drvenik Bay. At the Blue Lagoon, you experience nature at its purest. No concrete, no noise, no queues. Just the water, the sun, and the sound of the sea.
Connect with nature by taking off your shoes and feeling the ground beneath your feet. Let the atmosphere of the lagoon transport you to a world of relaxation and quiet. With no distractions from the modern world, you can fully immerse yourself in the surroundings.
Itinerary
Blue Lagoon, Drvenik Veli
The tour starts at the stunning natural bay with turquoise waters perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing. The water is calm and shallow, the seabed sandy white — it's as close to a tropical lagoon as the Adriatic gets.
Trogir Old Town
Next, the tour continues to Trogir — a charming UNESCO-listed town on a small island, connected to the mainland by bridges. Walk along the waterfront promenade, explore the winding stone streets, and take in the cathedral of St Lawrence.
Island of Šolta
The final stop is Šolta, known for its beaches, clear waters, and lush forests. You can explore the villages, taste local cuisine, and relax in one of the seafront cafes or restaurants before heading back to Split.
This tour is only a 30-minute speedboat ride from Split. The Blue Lagoon's calm, remote waters make it a perfect escape from busy city life — it's one of the most recommended day trips on the entire Dalmatian coast.
