Private Blue Lagoon and 3 islands Tour from Trogir and Split

The best part of this private boat day is the mix of clear-water swim stops and small island villages. You are not confined to one beach. The route gives you Trogir’s stone lanes, Blue Lagoon’s shallow bay, Maslinica’s waterfront, a traditional tavern in Stomorska, and a shipwreck near Nečujam.

I like the private format, since your group can enjoy the day without sharing the boat with strangers. I also like the practical touches: snorkeling gear and light refreshments are included, and the round-trip speedboat ride saves you from arranging island transport yourself. The main drawback is the price if only two people book, and lunch is not included.

Key points to know

• Six stops in about 10 hours: The day combines historic streets, several swim breaks, two island villages, lunch time, and snorkeling over a shipwreck.
• Blue Lagoon is the main swim stop: Krknjaši Bay has a sandy bottom, clear water, and sea life suited to swimming and snorkeling.
• The tour is private for up to six people: You get the boat and guide for your own group, not a mixed party.
• Trogir adds culture before the beach: Guests starting in Split stop in this UNESCO-listed town for about 40 minutes.
• Lunch in Stomorska costs extra: You have about 1 hour and 40 minutes for a meal at Restoran Turanj or the surrounding traditional tavern setting.
• Weather matters: The trip requires good conditions, and poor weather can lead to a new date or a full refund.

A full day from Split or Trogir

This is a long, water-focused day, lasting about 10 hours. The route works well if you want to see several well-known coastal spots without planning ferry schedules, taxi boats, and separate beach visits.

The boat is a speedboat, so you spend less time getting from one stop to the next than you would on a slower excursion boat. That matters here. The itinerary has many pieces, and faster transfers leave room for both sightseeing and swimming.

You can book for up to six people. At $844.78 per group, the price works out to about $140.80 per person for six people, $211.20 each for four, or $422.39 each for two. I see the strongest value for a family or group of friends that can fill most of the six seats. For a couple, the private setting may still appeal, but the cost per person is high.

The boat leaves from Split or Trogir, and hotel pickup and drop-off are not included. Plan to reach the agreed departure point on your own. Guests coming from Split visit Trogir first, while the route also suits people already staying in Trogir.

Trogir gives the morning a cultural start

For those departing from Split, the first stop is historic Trogir, a UNESCO-listed town. You get about 40 minutes here, enough for a quick walk, morning coffee, or breakfast.

Trogir is a good first stop because it gives the day some variety before the swimming begins. Its compact old center and stone setting make it a natural place for holiday photos. The short visit is also a useful limit: you can get a taste of the town without losing the main part of the day at sea.

Do not expect a full historical tour in 40 minutes. This is a brief introduction, not a deep visit to every church, square, and alley. If Trogir is a major reason for your trip, you should return separately with more time. Here, it works best as a pleasant first coffee stop and a change of scene.

Blue Lagoon and Krknjaši Bay deliver the main swim

The tour then reaches Blue Lagoon, also called Krknjaši Bay. The bay sits between three islands and has a sandy bottom, clear water, and visible sea life. You get about 1 hour and 30 minutes here, making it the longest dedicated swim stop of the day.

This is the point where the boat trip earns its name. You can swim, use the supplied snorkeling equipment, and look down into the water rather than simply admiring it from the boat. The sandy bottom is also useful for swimmers who prefer a gentler entry than a rocky shore.

The bay is a natural setting, not a built-up resort with a long list of facilities. Bring anything you need for personal comfort, since the stated inclusions are light refreshments and snorkeling gear rather than beach services. I would use this generous stop for your first proper swim, especially if later stops are shorter.

The water can be a major draw, but your enjoyment depends on conditions on the day. This is a sea trip, and the experience requires good weather. If the forecast looks poor, check the operator’s arrangements before setting out.

Maslinica combines a village visit with another swim

Maslinica on Šolta is next. The 45-minute stop takes you to an old fishing village where you can walk along the waterfront, have coffee, and see traditional local character.

I like this pause because it breaks up the swim stops. You get a chance to dry off, stretch your legs, and spend time in a lived-in coastal village rather than staying on the boat all day. The waterfront setting also gives you a quieter kind of photo stop than the open water.

The visit is short, so treat it as a taste of Maslinica. You are not getting a long village exploration or a full island tour. If you like small harbors, coffee, and a slower view of the coast, this stop should suit you. If your main goal is constant swimming, you may find the coffee break less exciting than the next water stop.

Maslinica Beach keeps the swimming rhythm going

After the village, the boat makes a 25-minute stop at Maslinica Beach. It is described as a small sandy beach, suited to a short swim before lunch.

The brief timing tells you what to expect. This is not a long beach afternoon. It is a quick chance to get back into the water, cool off, and enjoy a different shoreline before the meal stop.

For families or mixed-age groups, short stops can be useful. People who want to swim get another opportunity, while those who are ready for lunch do not have to wait through a long beach stay. Still, 25 minutes passes quickly, so you will want to be ready to step off or swim as soon as you arrive.

Stomorska brings the main meal break

The route continues to Stomorska Bay, where you have about 1 hour and 40 minutes for lunch at Restoran Turanj or a traditional tavern setting. Lunch is not part of the tour price, so budget for food and drinks separately.

This is the most relaxed stop of the day. After the morning’s boat rides and swims, the long break gives you time to eat without rushing. The focus is on traditional tavern food and a choice of different dishes, rather than a prearranged meal included in the ticket.

The extra cost gives you some flexibility, but it also means you should plan your spending. A private boat day at this price can feel less complete if you forget that lunch is separate. Ask your guide about the meal arrangements when you start, so your group knows how much time and money to set aside.

Stomorska is also a useful point to judge the pace of the whole tour. Six stops in one day means you will keep moving. The extended lunch period offers a proper pause before the final snorkeling stop.

Nečujam finishes with a shipwreck snorkel

The final stop is Nečujam, with about 45 minutes for swimming and snorkeling over a shipwreck. This gives the day a more unusual finish than another standard beach stop.

A shipwreck adds something to look at beneath the surface. If you enjoy snorkeling, this may be one of the most memorable sections of the route because the focus is not only clear water and a sandy bottom. You get a specific underwater feature to explore with the supplied equipment.

The stop lasts less than an hour, so keep your expectations sensible. You are not taking a formal wreck expedition. It is a short recreational snorkeling visit, and the amount you see will depend on water conditions and your comfort in the sea.

I would save some energy for Nečujam rather than treating Blue Lagoon as the only important swim. The itinerary finishes in the water, which gives the return journey a pleasant final note.

What the private boat changes

A private tour is valuable here because the day contains different interests. One person may want more time in the water, another may prefer coffee in Maslinica, and someone else may care most about the meal in Stomorska.

With only your group aboard, the guide can manage the day around your party within the planned route. That does not mean every stop can be extended without limit. There are six scheduled sections, and the boat still needs to return on time. But you avoid the awkwardness of matching your day to a large mixed group.

The guide is included, along with the driver. Guide names are not provided in the tour details, so you should not book expecting a particular named host. The strongest praise is aimed at the guide’s friendly, easygoing manner, which matters on a 10-hour outing. A calm guide can make the transfers, timing, and meal stop feel much easier.

The boat also includes light refreshments. That is helpful between swimming and lunch, but it is not a replacement for a meal. Bring your own added snacks only if you need something beyond the supplied refreshments, and remember that lunch remains separate.

Who gets the best value from this day

I would recommend this tour most strongly to a group of friends or a family of up to six that wants a private day on the water. The price becomes more reasonable when divided among several people, and the private setup gives the group room to set its own mood.

It also suits you if you want a mix of swimming and sightseeing. This is not simply a transfer to Blue Lagoon. Trogir, Maslinica, Stomorska, and Nečujam each add a different type of stop.

You should think twice if you want a slow, single-location beach day. The route is active, with several boarding and swimming moments, a village visit, a meal stop, and a long return to the starting point. You may also find the cost hard to justify if only two people are booking.

Families can take part, but children must be accompanied by an adult. Most people can participate, though the trip includes repeated movement around a boat and several water stops. Anyone who is not comfortable with swimming or snorkeling can still enjoy the villages and boat ride, but the water activities are central to the day.

Practical details that affect your decision

The experience is offered in English and comes with a mobile ticket. Confirmation is sent when you book, which is useful for a tightly scheduled holiday.

Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Changes or cancellations inside that 24-hour window are not accepted for a refund. Since the trip needs good weather, poor conditions can lead to a different date or a full refund.

You need to arrange your own way to the departure point because hotel pickup and drop-off are not included. This is easy to overlook when comparing private tours. Add the cost and time of reaching Split or Trogir to your day plan.

The tour is often booked well ahead, with an average booking lead time of about 96 days. That does not guarantee that every date sells out, but it suggests that summer planning is wise, especially if you need a particular day.

Should you book this Blue Lagoon tour?

Book it if you want one private day that covers three islands, Trogir, several swim stops, and a shipwreck without arranging the transport yourself. It is especially good value for a group of four to six people that appreciates flexible company, a friendly guide, and a full schedule.

Skip it if your priority is the lowest possible price, a long independent visit in Trogir, or an entire day at one beach. Also account for lunch and your own transport to the meeting point.

For the right group, this is a well-rounded Adriatic outing. The clearest reason to book is the variety: Blue Lagoon supplies the classic swimming scene, Maslinica and Stomorska provide village time, and Nečujam gives you a final snorkeling target beyond ordinary open-water swimming.
