Split: Blue Lagoon, 3 Islands, and Wine Tasting Private Tour

Exploring Croatia’s Dalmatian coast by boat is a fantastic way to see some of the most beautiful spots in the region.

We’re especially fond of the luxury speedboat ride, which makes the whole journey feel both exciting and comfortable, and the chance to snorkel near a sunken ship—a real highlight for anyone who loves underwater exploration.

An Authentic Croatian Sea Adventure

This tour offers an excellent way to see some of Dalmatia’s most picturesque spots without the hassle of planning each detail yourself. We liked how it combines adventure and relaxation, making the most of Croatia’s inviting waters and charming islands. The luxury speedboat is especially suited for small groups—around 2 to 6 people—giving everyone a good balance between intimacy and shared experience.

The tour begins with a 20-minute boat ride to the Blue Lagoon on Drvenik Island. This is a perfect introduction; the crystal-clear waters and soft sandy beaches make it an inviting spot for swimming and soaking up the sun. The small boat feels both nimble and personal, which many reviewers appreciate, noting it’s ideal for a close-up experience of the islands.

Exploring the Blue Lagoon and Necujam Bay

Once at the Blue Lagoon, you’ll find yourself in one of Croatia’s most iconic sights. The waters here are famously translucent, perfect for floating, swimming, or just relaxing on the boat’s deck. For those interested in snorkeling, the waters near Necujam Bay are a highlight—snorkel gear is included so you can explore underwater and get a glimpse of the local marine life or even the sunken ship nearby.

One reviewer mentions, “Whats great day! Fantastic way to see surrounding islands; stopped for multiple swims and lunch,” which speaks to the multiple opportunities for cooling off and enjoying nature. The local beach bar offers a simple but satisfying refreshment stop, allowing you to grab a quick bite and enjoy the scenery.

Sunken Ship and Stomorska

The next stop is Necujam Bay, where you can snorkel around the sunken ship, a real treat for underwater enthusiasts. Alternatively, you might prefer to stroll through the small town of Neujam, soaking in the peaceful, laid-back vibe of this tiny coastal community. Both options give a taste of authentic local life away from the more crowded tourist spots.

Following this, the boat takes you to Stomorska, a charming seaside village known for its scenic bay and relaxed atmosphere. Here, you’ll have time for lunch, with many restaurants offering fresh seafood and local dishes. The views of the bay are stunning, and the laid-back vibe makes it an ideal spot to unwind after the morning’s activities.

Wine Tasting in Bra

The afternoon is dedicated to visiting Bra, renowned for its award-winning wines. While tasting fees are not included, you’ll have the chance to sample some of the island’s best wines and learn about its winemaking history. The guides are knowledgeable, adding context about local traditions and grape varieties, which enhances the experience beyond just sipping wine.

Many travelers appreciate this part of the tour—“learn about winemaking and history”—making it more than just a tasting. It’s an opportunity to appreciate Croatia’s growing reputation as a wine destination, all while enjoying the island’s beautiful scenery.
