Full Description
Blue Lagoon near Drvenik Veli
The Blue Lagoon is a sheltered bay between the small islands of Drvenik Veli and Krknjaši, not far from Trogir, where shallow white sand gives the water a vivid turquoise colour. It is the main swimming stop of the tour and one of the most popular places for a Blue Lagoon boat tour from Split.
You can swim, snorkel with the gear provided and enjoy the calm water. Many travellers ask what to bring for the Blue Lagoon; swimwear, a towel and sun protection are enough. The best time to visit the Blue Lagoon is in the morning or late afternoon, when it is quieter than at midday.
Šolta, Čiovo and the other islands
The tour visits three islands or island towns, and the skipper picks the stops according to wind and sea conditions. Typical choices include Šolta, with the pretty harbour of Maslinica, and Čiovo, the island joined to Trogir by a bridge, along with Drvenik Veli. Each has a different character, from quiet coves to small waterfront towns.
Between stops you sit on a fast boat with open views of the coast. Many travellers ask about a Šolta boat trip from Split; this tour gives a taste of the island in a short time. The route may change on the day, and the skipper explains the plan at the start.
Historic Trogir from the water
Trogir is a small, walled town on an island in the channel, and its old centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a Romanesque cathedral and Venetian palaces. Depending on the route, you see or visit Trogir from the sea, which gives a different view from a walking tour.
If you would like more time in the old town, ask us about a Trogir day trip from Split. On this speedboat tour the focus is the sea, but the skipper points out landmarks as you pass, and there are photo stops in good light.
