Half Day Blue Lagoon Tour Itinerary
Departure from Split
The tour starts from Split, usually from the city promenade or a nearby meeting point. After a short safety briefing, you will board the boat and begin your half day escape towards the nearby islands.
Trogir
Depending on the selected route, the first stop may be Trogir, a UNESCO-protected historic town located on a small island between the mainland and Čiovo. You can walk through its narrow stone streets, enjoy a coffee on the waterfront and see one of the most charming old towns in Dalmatia.
Blue Lagoon
The highlight of the tour is the Blue Lagoon, famous for its clear turquoise sea and sandy seabed. This is the perfect place for swimming, snorkeling and relaxing in the sun. The water here is usually calm and inviting, making it one of the best swimming spots near Split.
Čiovo or Šolta Island
After the Blue Lagoon, the tour continues to another nearby island stop. Depending on weather, sea conditions and the skipper’s recommendation, this may be a peaceful bay on Čiovo, a beach bar stop, or a visit to Šolta Island. This part of the tour gives you more time to swim, relax and enjoy the coastline away from the city crowds.
