Split: Blue Lagoon Boat Party, Djs, Swim, Shots & AfterParty

If you’re heading to Split and want a memorable day on the water, the Blue Lagoon Boat Party offered by Tipsea Split promises an energetic mix of swimming, dancing, and socializing. This activity isn’t just about a boat ride; it’s a full-on party experience that captures the lively spirit of Dalmatia’s coast.

What makes this tour stand out are its top-notch local and international DJs spinning tunes as you cruise around the islands, and the chance to swim in the famous Blue Lagoon, renowned for its crystal-clear waters. The other highlight? The free shots and after-party at one of Split’s best clubs, which keeps the party going long after the boat returns to port.

That said, there are a few things to consider. The tour is quite popular, so expect a busy, lively atmosphere rather than a quiet cruise—perfect if you love socializing, but maybe less so if you prefer peaceful waters and serene scenery. Also, while the price is very reasonable, you’ll want to bring your own towel and snacks, as those aren’t included.

This experience is best suited for young travelers, groups of friends, solo adventurers, or anyone eager to combine sightseeing with a lively party. If you’re after a fun, energetic day with a strong social vibe, this boat party offers excellent value and authentic fun.

An In-Depth Look at the Experience

The journey begins at the designated meeting point—Spomenik dr. Franji Tumanu, near Obala kneza Domagoja. Arriving by 14:00 ensures a smooth check-in process, as check-in officially closes at 14:40. Upon check-in, you’re greeted by friendly staff and introduced to fellow travelers, setting a warm, communal tone for the day.

Once aboard the boat, the real fun starts. The vessel is spacious enough to sunbathe or find shade, making it easy to relax or dance as you please. The live DJ kicks off the music, creating a lively, party-like atmosphere that many reviews praise as “the best vibes” and “fantastic party atmosphere.” It’s clear that the music and crew work together to foster a fun and inclusive environment.

The first highlight is the swim stop at the Blue Lagoon. This is a big draw, and for good reason. The lagoon’s waters are famously clear, inviting for a refreshing dip or some relaxing floating. You might find, as many reviewers did, that the water slide added an extra element of fun—one reviewer called it “so much fun,” and several noted how stunning the scenery was during the swim.

Weather can sometimes influence the exact destination—if wind or weather conditions make the Blue Lagoon unsafe, the boat may visit a different, hidden bay or swim spot. That flexibility ensures safety is a priority, but it’s good to keep in mind if you’re planning for specific sights.

Back on board, you’ll enjoy cruising around the islands and catching beautiful sunset views. Many reviewers mention how the sea views are spectacular, making this a great photo opportunity. Drinks are available on board, served quickly and efficiently by friendly staff. While drinks are not included in the $35 ticket, the cheap prices and good quality make it an excellent value for the money.

As the afternoon winds down, you’ll disembark back at the starting point. The tour doesn’t end here; it includes free entry to one of Split’s top nightclubs, allowing you to keep the party going. Many travelers rave about the after-party, describing it as “the best thing we did in Croatia” and “an amazing way to finish the day.”

Authentic Experiences from Travelers

Reviewers consistently praise the friendly and knowledgeable staff. One reviewer mentioned how “Hayley” helped elevate their experience with top-notch hospitality. The music and DJ get frequent compliments—one reviewer called the DJ “unreal,” while another said the vibe was “amazing” throughout.

The value for money is another recurring theme. At just $35, many travelers felt they received a great deal—especially considering the included swim, shots, and after-party access. The free shots and discounts on other activities, like the Olife Pool Party, add extra value.

For those traveling solo or in large groups, the boat’s lively, social environment is a definite plus. One solo traveler shared how the staff and fellow guests made them feel welcomed, and many reviews emphasize how “perfect for meeting new people” the trip is.

The Practicalities

Timing is key. The check-in at Inbox Bar begins at 14:00, and you’ll want to arrive no later than 14:30 for smooth processing. The tour lasts approximately 4-5 hours, with the boat returning to harbor around sunset, giving you plenty of time to freshen up and hit the nightlife.

Remember to bring essentials: swimwear, towel, sunscreen, and perhaps a small bag for your valuables. Large luggage or bags are not allowed on board, and outside drinks are prohibited—though sealed water bottles are fine. Food is not included but can be brought on board or purchased at about 6:00 pm.

The tour is offered in English and Spanish, making it accessible to a broad range of travelers. It’s not recommended for pregnant women, children under 18, or those prone to seasickness.
